Application Lifecycle
Management and
Cloud Orchestration
The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform makes it simple to
deliver a powerful, application-centric automation with
Nutanix Calm™. Calm provides native application orchestra-
tion and lifecycle management, fully integrated with the
Nutanix management interface: Nutanix Prism. (Nutanix
Prism is described in detail in chapter 3.)
Calm decouples application management from the underlying
infrastructure, enabling applications to be easily deployed
into private or public cloud environments. With Calm, IT can
empower end users and other teams, such as application
developers or business analysts in a line of business to
deploy and manage applications in a self-service manner,
while retaining full control of the infrastructure.
