Leesburg, VA, April 6, 2015 – DH Technologies today announced it has been named to The Channel Company’s CRN® Tech Elite 250. This annual list recognizes an elite group of IT solution providers that have invested in the training and education needed to earn the most advanced technical certifications from leading vendors.

In compiling the list, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors collaborated to assess the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the IT channel. These technical certifications—from vendors including Cisco, Citrix, Dell, EMC, HP, IBM, NetApp, Microsoft, VMware and Symantec, among others—have enabled solution providers to deliver an outstanding level of premium products, services and support to their North American customers.

 

DH Technologies is dedicated to be an industry leader in certification and training for its engineering staff.  Our staff are required to maintain their certifications and take at least one week of instructor lead training.  This is the second year in a row that DH Technologies has remained on this list.  It just proves this dedication to be an industry leader.

How to Implement Role-Based Access Controls with Nutanix

In our demo lab we provide a read-only account to customers to look at our live Nutanix block.  What we did recently to enhance that user experience was to tie in their AD account into our Nutanix block.

Here’s how we did it:

Solution
Prerequisites

-The cluster must be added to an Active Directory domain before configuring role mappings.

The command “ncli authconfig create-directory” will add the system into active directory (This can also be done via the gui).

To configure role mappings, the command “ncli authconfig add-role-mapping” is used.

The roles that can be assigned are…

ROLE_CLUSTER_ADMIN
ROLE_USER_ADMIN
ROLE_CLUSTER_VIEWER

The below example will map the group IT-managers to a cluster administrator role…

ncli authconfig add-role-mapping name=production_domain type=group values=IT-managers role=ROLE_CLUSTER_ADMIN

Syntax info

Name — This is the name of the configured domain (can list this with “ncli authconfig list-directory”)

Type — Specify “user” or “group”

Values — name of the user or group being added. You specify multiple users/groups using comma as a separator

Role — The role you want to specify

Why We Believe In Nutanix

It’s been a while since we first started working with Nutanix and I have had time to reflect on our relationship. It occurred to me that we owe a thank you to Nutanix. I know it sounds crazy to thank a vendor. And No, as much as I love Nutanix they don’t throw leads our way. As Nutanix resellers we owe them a great deal of thanks. So here it goes…

Dear Nutanix,
Thank you for making a solid product. Thank you for providing us and our customers with rock solid support. Thank you for all the marketing you do to promote your product. This makes our lives as resellers easier. Thank you for continuous product updates that provide new features and performance enhancements for existing and new customers. Thank you for recognizing the hard work and effort of your partners. Thank you for the amazing technical resources on your support portal. Thank you for the free training opportunities you offer all partners and customers. Thank you for going the extra mile in every possible way. Most importantly to me, thank you for being sincere and never misleading us or making promises that couldn’t be kept. Thank you for establishing integrity, not only in your product, but in your sales team. These are attributes that every company should instill.  This is why I am very excited for 2014 and honored to be a Nutanix partner.

Sincerely,

Devin Henderson

CEO
