What is Nutanix?

The Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform is an infrastructure solution that natively converges compute, storage and virtualization into a turnkey hyperconverged solution. Hyperconverged infrastructure natively integrates compute and storage into a single x86-based server deployed in scale-out clusters. It reduces power and space, and dramatically eliminates storage complexity. Nutanix solution offers a converged storage and virtualization stack, it eliminates the bloat of legacy standalone hypervisors and SAN storage and makes virtualization invisible.

The Issues with standard Infrastructure:

• Complex management of 3 Tier architecture – Server + Network + Storage
• Generally, purchase for future growth – under-utilised assets (3 Tier approach)
• Lengthy Planning to enable upgrades in hardware and software
• How to reduce power and rack space
• Complex DR – Reduce RTO with automatic data copy across a cluster
• Increasing operational effectiveness and being more agile to market changes
• Optimising software licensing costs
• Avoiding further “lock in” infrastructure

The Solution:
