Nutanix
Nutanix was founded with a bold vision: to make managing IT infrastructure so simple that it becomes invisible. It all started with bringing together compute, storage, networking, and virtualization in one invisible stack. And now? We’re making clouds invisible too.
One Platform. Any Application. Any Cloud.
Seamlessly converge on-premises, edge, and multi-cloud environments into a single cloud platform. Simplify IT and application management so you can focus on customer and business needs.
The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS
Freedom of choice is foundational to the Nutanix product line and vision. Every enterprise has a unique set of infrastructure needs and constraints, ranging from budget, SLAs, and application requirements, to IT skills, compliance, and physical space. Until recently, enterprises have had to compromise on many of these priorities due to a lack of alternatives, suffering poor and inconsistent application performance, endless maintenance windows and operational overhead, busted IT budgets, slow service delivery, and shadow IT. Nutanix introduced hyperconverged infrastructure to resolve these longstanding challenges and give enterprises real choices for their environments.
The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS and enterprise cloud services are pure software, purpose built to be hardware-, hypervisor-, and cloud-agnostic so that enterprises are free to pick the best infrastructure for their application and business needs— with no vendor lock-in and no “strategy tax.”
Nutanix Calm: Automate Applications in Any Cloud
Nutanix Calm is a hybrid-cloud application lifecycle manager that lets you model your applications in easy-to-consume blueprints, deploy them on the clouds of your choice, and manage them throughout their entire lifecycle.
For on-premises, VM-based deployments, Nutanix Calm supports VMware vSphere (both Nutanix and non-Nutanix), as well as Nutanix AHV. For the public clouds, Nutanix Calm supports Amazon AWS (including GovCloud), Microsoft Azure (including Azure Government), and Google GCP. Nutanix Calm also fully supports container workloads, including on-premises Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
A single application blueprint can contain any combination of clouds, and the decision on where to run the application can be made at deployment. Simply redeploy if you change your mind. No more locking into a single cloud vendor; deploy where it makes the most sense to run your application.
Xi Beam: Cloud Cost Governance and Security
While Calm gives you the freedom to choose among several cloud options for running your applications, Xi Beam provides data-driven insights to help you determine which cloud makes the most sense in terms of cost and compliance. Beam gives you deep visibility into your cloud consumption patterns, identifies underutilized resources and security risks, and helps you plan future purchases. With great cloud freedom comes great responsibility. Beam helps you make intelligent and strategic cloud choices.
Nutanix Frame: Digital Workspaces on the Cloud of Your Choice
Nutanix Frame is a cloud-native, public-cloud service that delivers any Windows or Linux application or desktop to an end-user’s web browser. Frame enables enterprises to continuously integrate and deliver virtual apps and desktops at any scale, in any region, with the apps and services that end-users consume, all running on your preferred clouds.
Frame partners with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform to deliver the best user experience locally, with no risk of vendor lock-in. Frame also seamlessly integrates with best of breed vendors like AD/ADFS, Okta, and Ping Identity for IAM; NVIDIA for GPU; and OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box for cloud storage and collaboration. Finally, Frame is elastic. Administrators can scale capacity up and down with one-click and automatically power up and power down desktops and apps to accommodate variations in usage.
Era: Database Automation on any Cloud
Databases are no longer locked to a physical location or infrastructure, and, with Nutanix Era, can now be easily restored to any point on any infrastructure or cloud. Nutanix Era is a software suite that automates and simplifies database management, bringing one-click simplicity and invisible operations to database provisioning and lifecycle management (LCM). Nutanix Era enables database admins to provision, clone, refresh and restore their databases to any point in time. Through a rich, but simple to use, UI and CLI, they can restore to the latest application-consistent transaction. And true to the Nutanix vision, Era databases run either on prem or in your preferred public cloud—or both.
Xi Leap: iCloud Simplicity for DR
Xi Leap is the Nutanix DR as a service offering, bringing iCloud-like simplicity to the notoriously tedious, complex, expensive, and unpredictable task of disaster recovery. Xi Leap enables Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud users to port their environment to the cloud in a single click. What’s more, you can test the service at any time, unlike traditional DR scenarios that take weeks or months of planning—and still don’t always work. Xi Leap also eliminates the time and expense of managing and scaling a second datacenter. This service runs as an extension of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS, giving you the ability to choose between buying or renting DR services.
Nutanix X-Powered: Let Service Providers Bring Cloud to You
Nutanix enables consumer choice in yet another way—letting best-ofbreed service providers manage your cloud services entirely. Nutanix X-Powered service providers deliver the reliability, security, and
performance of Nutanix Enterprise Clouds, but without the delays and upfront costs associated with procuring new infrastructure. Our XPowered service provider partners give you managed and cloud services with flawless, continuous application performance, as well as the ability to scale without the lengthy lead times that traditional service providers typically require.
Nutanix is committed to providing enterprises real choices to unlock their full business potential while meeting their specific budgetary and governance constraints. Since Nutanix first launched, we’ve continually added more user choice and flexibility, constantly expanding supported hardware, software, and clouds—all while doing the hard work of reducing complexity. As a 100 percent software-defined solution, Nutanix prioritizes portability and interoperability, ensuring that users have a cloud-like experience, whether on prem or off prem, and on any device.
