As there is written it is a ndfs is a kind of nfs, i thought if there is a nfs share a backup solution for nfs + vm could backup the vm's.
Any ideà?
NFS
Nutanix was built around iSCSI but now have the ability to run NFS as well. Nutanix calls their implementation of NFS, NDFS. It’s a really crazy bit of abstraction. Each VM is basically getting its own iSCSI LUN. Of course you don’t see any of that under the covers stuff. With their release of NDFS they have re-written the standard NFS code to turn allow for better performance. NFS was built to house thousands and thousands of files, today with virtualization it’s almost the opposite. With VMware we have large files, known as VMDK’s that containerize all the smaller files. Nutantix has tuned their implementation of NFS to work with few files large files instead of the old paradigm. NDFS can localize NFS client-server communication giving it the shortest path on the IO highway at all times.
Nutanix supports VAAI (vStorage APIs for Array Integration )and VCAI (View Composer Array Integration) and provide thier own command line interface called nCLI
