Nutanix had one patents in big data during Q4 2023. The patent filed by Nutanix Inc in Q4 2023 describes a method for processing a cluster configuration request to form a hyperconverged computing infrastructure (HCI) cluster in a cloud computing environment. This involves configuring bare metal computing nodes to operate as an HCI cluster, forming a secure network overlay on tenant-specific networking hardware resources, provisioning networking hardware resources using an orchestrator, and interconnecting node-local storage devices into a shared storage pool with a contiguous address space. Additionally, top-of-rack switches are configured to form a network overlay and layer-2 subnet on the networking hardware resources.

The patent filed by Nutanix Inc. describes a method and system for configuring a hyperconverged computing infrastructure (HCI) cluster in a cloud computing environment. The process involves configuring bare metal computing nodes to operate as an HCI cluster based on cluster configuration requests and specifications. This includes forming tenant-specific secure network overlays, provisioning networking hardware resources, and interconnecting node-local storage devices into a shared storage pool with a contiguous address space. Additionally, top-of-rack switches are configured to create network overlays and layer-2 subnets for efficient communication within the clusters.
The patent further details the acts involved in configuring computing environments for separate tenants within the cloud computing environment. This includes forming distinct clusters for each tenant using secure network overlays and provisioning resources to interconnect the bare metal computing nodes. The method ensures isolation between tenants by maintaining separate secure network overlays and identities for each cluster. Additionally, the configuration involves setting up per-tenant firewalls, adding additional computing nodes to clusters, and configuring top-of-rack switches to establish network overlays and interconnections. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to efficiently configuring and managing HCI clusters in a cloud computing environment while ensuring tenant isolation and network efficiency.
