23 Third-Party Self-Service Options In addition to the native self-service capabilities provided by Nutanix Enterprise Cloud and Nutanix Calm, Nutanix also supports a number of other popular options. • VMware vRealize Automation. vRealize Automation (formerly vCloud Automation Center) can be used to automate infrastructure tasks and provide self-service on Nutanix clusters running both VMware ESXi and Nutanix AHV. Nutanix has created a full reference architecture, including deployment profiles for proof-of-concept and small, medium, and large production deployments • Windows Azure Pack. Microsoft and Nutanix have partnered to deliver a seamless hybrid cloud solution with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016, Microsoft Windows Azure Pack and the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS. • OpenStack. Nutanix has created a set of fully tested and supported drivers to integrate with OpenStack services. The drivers provide integration with the core components of an Infrastructure-as-a- Service (IaaS) deployment, while supporting integration with your choice of advanced services and cloud management through your OpenStack controller. No matter which of these you use today or might use in the future, you can integrate it with the capabilities of Calm. Calm can call or be called with APIs giving these tools added flexibility and new features. Nutanix: Application Mobility When applications are not bound by the constraints imposed by infra- structure, you are free to pick the best location for each application based on business needs. Nutanix Enterprise Cloud breaks down the barriers to application mobility. IT teams decide where applications reside based on application needs and business requirements rather than infrastructure limitations. Effective mobility provides any-to-any freedom, requires no application changes, translates SLAs across environments, and preserves applica- tion state, configuration, and environmental requirements to minimize risk. Applications are free to move between Nutanix AHV and VMware ESXi environments and can be extended to X-Powered service provider and public clouds using Calm.
