Nutanix Weekly

Disaster recovery is no longer just about backups. It is about resiliency, recovery speed, cyber readiness, and operational flexibility.In this episode of Nutanix Weekly, Phil Sellers is joined by Andy Greene and Chris Calhoun from XenTegra to break down Nutanix Multi-Cloud Snapshot Technology (MST) and how organizations are using it to modernize disaster recovery without overspending on infrastructure.The conversation explores how MST enables organizations to replicate snapshots to S3-compatible storage providers like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud, Wasabi, Backblaze, and Nutanix Objects to improve resiliency, optimize storage costs, and simplify long-term retention.The team also discusses:Nutanix Instant Restore in NCI 7.5.1Faster VM recovery and improved availabilityRansomware and clean room recovery strategiesPilot light vs. zero compute DR modelsHybrid cloud resiliencyLong-term snapshot retentionBalancing recovery objectives with budget realitiesWhether you are building a modern DR strategy or evaluating new approaches to cyber resilience, this episode provides practical insight into how Nutanix MST helps organizations stay available when it matters most.

In this episode of XenTegra’s Nutanix Weekly, Andy Greene, Chris Calhoun, and Marcus Barton explore the emerging world of AI agents, MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, and what they mean for the future of enterprise automation. Inspired by Dwayne Lessner’s blog post, “The Agent Stops Writing the Script, It Becomes the Script,” the discussion dives into how Nutanix v4 APIs and NCM 2.0 are enabling a new model where AI agents interact directly with infrastructure instead of simply generating scripts.The team breaks down the differences between traditional scripting, code generation, and agentic AI workflows, while also discussing security guardrails, RBAC controls, hybrid multi-cloud implications with NC2 and GC2, and how AI-driven operations may fundamentally reshape enterprise IT management.If you're interested in Nutanix, automation, AI infrastructure, hybrid cloud, or the future of intelligent operations, this episode delivers practical insights into where the industry is heading next.
