What is NUTANIX?

Looking at the current state of digital transformation — the explosion of data, the flood of applications, and increasingly complex IT technologies — let’s face it: traditional, siloed operating models and tools are simply falling behind. They’re slow, complex, expensive, and require highly specialized skills.

What modern enterprises truly need today is a consistent operational model that provides a unified approach to managing heterogeneous environments. That’s exactly where Nutanix comes in — a pioneer in hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). From the very beginning, Nutanix has been recognized as a leader in industry reports by Gartner and Forrester. Continuous development of the solution has made Nutanix the clear market leader in hyperconvergence today.

What is Hyperconvergence?
Simply put, it’s about merging all resources into one: storage, servers, virtualization, and cloud — to make everything work together as one integrated system. Companies operating without hyperconvergence often function in siloed structures — isolated virtual machines each serving specific tasks. Once the cloud comes into play, these silos often fail to integrate properly. As a result, system administrators spend countless hours trying to make various systems work together, jumping between interfaces. But how many resources do they have to manage all those interfaces? How much time does that take?

And then Nutanix enters the picture…
Nutanix’s hyperconverged infrastructure allows you to manage all resources — regardless of whether they come from VMware, Microsoft, or elsewhere. Deploying your infrastructure within the Nutanix environment means fewer switches and much faster access to data. The performance benefits are measurable. One standout Nutanix feature is data locality, which ensures data doesn’t travel across the network unnecessarily. On top of that, Nutanix upgrades lead to linear performance scaling — every new server added to the cluster increases system performance accordingly.

You also get a single interface for everything, along with AI support that analyzes the system and predicts what resources will be needed, when, and for how long. This ensures business continuity and helps you forecast unexpected costs — especially important during times of company growth.

According to an IDC report shared by Nutanix, organizations see up to 60% time savings when it comes to infrastructure installation, management, and security policies. That’s highly plausible given that the entire Nutanix cluster can be managed through one simple interface that streamlines operations and automates processes. With a single click, administrators can run migrations or updates.

Reduction of Unplanned Downtime
Another key benefit. Nutanix provides high availability of applications and data, thanks to features such as data replication, disaster recovery, and snapshot automation. The system is fault-tolerant and allows rapid service restoration without the complex configurations required in traditional infrastructure.
