Last weeks of the year already and I want to share some things with you readers.
NTC 2026:
First start with that I’m honored to become a Nutanix Technology Champion for the year 2026. This is my fifth consecutive year as an NTC and really is a reward for me showing that what I’m doing for the community is all worth it. Thanks all for making the Nutanix Community as it is today. Lets continue 🙂 To read more about the program and to see the complete list with all the NTC click here: https://next.nutanix.com/community-blog-154/introducing-the-nutanix-technology-champions-for-2026-45110
Blog Stats:
My blog is getting more and more attraction. Although it started as a private blog for my motor racing career (which stopped two years ago LoL) it is now a full tech blog with (most) Nutanix related blogpost but sometimes an EUC post will popup as well. If you look deep down the Blog Archive you still can find some old (in Dutch) racing blog posts 😉
All time stats:
In 2012 till 2015 the websites was gaining a lot of traction because the racing blogs where very popular and I had a popular post on how to create a Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8 mandatory profile. 😉 Later there where more and more Nutanix related posts and, as you can see in the graph, it is getting more traction starting in 2023. Lets continue with the growing line readers 😉
For 2025 these are the most viewed/visited posts:
As you can see the Community Posts are the popular ones. 😉 I got a large list of posts ideas in the backlog but work is in the way 😉
The Lab:
Talking about work. As you (I hope) already know I got my own company (www.tielenconsultancy.com) where you can see what I’m actually doing and where you can book trainings and even order Nutanix clusters for you learning needs. For my blog posts I’m using cluster(s) from the learning lab. So how does it look, well a picture says more then words:
The rack on the left was added beginning December making it a total of 14 clusters. All are 3 node clusters (with 1 spare node per cluster) and the 4 nodes at the top right have a nVidia GPU in it for testing vGPU/GPU related stuff. All connected via nVidia/Mellanox SN2010 switches (10/25/40/100Gbps). And yes, those 19″ plates are 3D printed with the company logo 😉
