=====Notes======
====NFS====
<code>
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.
