Karan Gupta, Nutanix
This talk will cover Nutanix's journey as it transitioned from a pioneer in Hyper Converged Infrastructure to a strong contender of Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure. I will draw on examples from my seven years of experience of building distributed storage systems and LSM-based key value stores at Nutanix. I will describe challenges faced by customers and engineers on the ground, and briefly touch on challenges I see on the horizon for hybrid cloud infrastructure.
