Nutanix: Full-Stack Infrastructure and Platform Services
Most private cloud solutions offer cloud management on top of tradi-
tional infrastructure. Unless that infrastructure has been built to scale
out and has no single points of failure, the resulting environment won't
deliver full cloud benefits.
With Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform, infrastructure is delivered as
a set of software-defined services—including file, block, and container
storage, as well as integrated data protection and availability to support
application needs—built on top of flexible, scalable infrastructure. Nutanix
combines compute, storage, servers, and virtualization in a hypercon-
verged platform available on a range of hardware—the Nutanix Enter-
prise Cloud OS software runs on servers from Dell, Lenovo, IBM, HPE,
Cisco UCS, and others—in addition to hardware supplied by Nutanix.
Because server virtualization is built in, virtualization is just a feature,
not a separate solution to purchase and manage.
