Get geared up for exciting new features in Nutanix Sizer with our final sprint release announcement for Calendar Year 2024. As the festive season approaches, we believe these updates will add extra cheer to your experience with Sizer. Today, we'll highlight some incredible features released on December 3rd and 17th. From improved licensing options to the ability to specify memory and storage headroom, we're bringing you enhancements designed to optimize your workflow with Sizer.

Let’s explore the new features and enhancements that await you!

Key Features & Enhancements

1. Support for NKP Full Stack (NKP FS) License

In our ongoing effort to provide you with more choices, we’ve enhanced the licensing options significantly.

The License, Support & Services section now has the option to select NKP Full Stack Licenses. This change underscores our commitment to improving your user experience.

Important documents like the Budgetary quote, Frontline quote, BOM, and Proposal now prominently feature NKP FS licenses for better visibility.

This streamlined approach means that users can easily access the licensing options they need without any hassle, making project quoting quicker and more efficient.

2. Dynamic Memory and Storage Sliders

We’re thrilled to introduce an improved workload import functionality!

Now, users can size based on consumed memory and storage values, offering a more tailored resource allocation process. When sizing by consumed memory or storage, you can set the headroom for growth and unexpected spikes.

While the default headroom is set at 20%, users can adjust this percentage as necessary. For instance, if a company anticipates a surge in demand, they might was to increase the headroom to 30%. However, caution is key—if you set the percentage too low, you risk undersizing, which we will actively notify you about!

When Sizing via consumed memory/storage it is recommended to have at least 20% headroom

This improves the accuracy of sizing to meet dynamic demands and can enhance performance and responsiveness during peak usage times.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

With every software update, addressing bugs is essential for improving user experience.

This release includes updated Sizer Proposal Slides to reflect FY25 Q1 Financials, ensuring you have access to the latest data and insights.

Looking Ahead to a Bright 2025!

As we prepare for another exciting year, the December sprint release demonstrates our commitment to continuously enhancing Sizer.

With features like upgraded NKP FS licensing, and the ability to size by consumed memory or storage, we believe these updates will significantly benefit your workflow.

We encourage you to embrace these changes and maximize your potential as we wrap up 2024. Thank you for your support! We look forward to hearing how these features enhance your experience.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we transition into the new year. Here’s to a fantastic 2025 ahead!
