Freedom to Cloud One of the biggest advantages of Xi Frame is that it gives you more choice and more flexibility to run the applications you want the way you want to run them in your choice of cloud—or on premises. Desktop and Application options: • Microsoft Windows • Linux Current Cloud Options: • Amazon Web Services • Azure • Nutanix Xi Cloud Running Xi Frame in Your Data Center Nutanix is further enhancing Xi Frame so that user workspaces will be able to run on Nutanix HCI hardware on-premises, allowing you to deliver the benefits of virtual desktops and applications from infrastructure you own and control. This will allow organizations to offer virtual desktops and applications on-premises without requiring a lot of expertise in deploying and managing VDI infrastructure. The Xi Frame management plane continues to reside in the public cloud. There's no change to the user experience or management experience for the service. When a user initiates a session, Xi Frame user instances are started on Nutanix nodes running the Nutanix native hypervisor, AHV. You continue to manage and monitor your AHV nodes and cluster via Nutanix Prism or Prism Pro as normal. Nutanix Xi Frame: Benefits at a Glance • Anytime, anywhere access.
