IGMP snooping on Nutanix AHV

Had an escalation this week where a customer was moving from ESXi on AHV on self-built new clusters. All built and tested (shifting from ESXi on 10GbE, to AHV on 25GbE and moving from leaf switches to TOR switches) – all OK in NCC and smoke tested fine. But… problems occurred quickly when loaded up […]

Reflecting on 2024

It’s always a strange feeling in the lead up to Christmas each year as whilst we at Cutter don’t have a period of shutdown – a lot of our partners and customers do. This presents an opportunity for reflection when the world isn’t moving at 100mph, and a bit of breathing room to do those […]
