Nutanix Calm and Xi Cloud Services to Deliver
One-click Operations across Core, Distributed and Edge Clouds
NutanixⓇ (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing,
today announced at its .NEXT Conference 2017 that the Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud OS will be delivered as a full software stack with
new multi-cloud capabilities in Nutanix CalmTM and a new cloud
service called Nutanix XiTM Cloud Services. The new offerings take
a fresh approach to hybrid cloud, empowering customers to use
Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Software throughout their multi-cloud
deployments, including on-premises with platforms from IBMⓇ, Dell
EMCTM, LenovoⓇ, CiscoⓇ and HPEⓇ, in the cloud via AWSTM, Google
Cloud PlatformTM and AzureTM, or natively with Nutanix Xi Cloud
Services.
In the multi-cloud era, data and applications are dispersed not
just across enterprise private and public clouds, but also
distributed remote office/branch office (ROBO) and disaster
recovery (DR) environments, as well as edge computing use cases.
Today’s enterprises want to build these diverse deployment options
into their end-to-end cloud designs, without disjointed IT
operations or lock-in to any one virtualization or cloud stack. A
single software OS brings a new approach to unifying these multiple
clouds – across the full compute, storage and network stack
– which dramatically simplifies operations with common IT
tooling, enabling application mobility across clouds, while
remaining open to any hardware, hypervisor, or cloud.
Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS Software
Delivered as software, the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS supports
a variety of hardware platforms, form factors and third-party
vendors, ensuring that a single software fabric with unified
management can run across all enterprise environments. The Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud OS extends beyond Nutanix-branded appliances, OEM
offerings from Dell EMC and Lenovo and systems from partner IBM to
flexible subscriptions and enterprise license agreements (ELAs) on
Cisco and HPE platforms. For consumption as a service, IT leaders
will be able to leverage Nutanix software as a native
cloud-delivered solution via Xi Cloud Services - seamlessly
extending the boundaries of their enterprise datacenter while
preserving a consistent, simple one-click experience.
Nutanix Xi Cloud Services
Xi Cloud Services will empower customers to instantly provision
and consume Nutanix infrastructure on demand as a native extension
of the enterprise datacenter, delivering a turnkey cloud service
built from the same infrastructure stack with the same tooling and
SLAs as the core Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform. The first
available Xi Cloud Service will enable Nutanix customers to set up,
manage and test a complete cloud-based DR service in just minutes.
Using the same Prism management interface, Nutanix customers can
instantly protect their applications and data inline with existing
workflows as part of their routine IT operations, avoiding the
expense and complexity of a separate DR solution. Nutanix will
partner with strategic cloud providers to deliver Xi Cloud Services
globally, and to meet the data provenance requirements governing
multiple industries and use cases.
Nutanix Calm
Building and operating a multi-cloud architecture requires that
applications can be easily defined, instantiated and scaled
independent of the cloud environment. Nutanix Calm abstracts
application environments from the underlying infrastructure and
recommends the right cloud for the right workload while harmonizing
cloud operations. Nutanix Calm will allow applications to be
defined via easy-to-use blueprints, which can be provisioned,
managed and scaled into different cloud environments. The solution
includes a powerful, integrated marketplace so that application
designs can be shared across the organization to speed the time to
production for new business initiatives. Calm leverages the full
stack capabilities of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS across
network, compute and storage to holistically converge enterprise
infrastructures on AHV, ESXi, Hyper-V, extended to Xi Cloud
Services, as well as public clouds including AWS, Google Cloud
Platform and Azure.
Product Availability
The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS is now available as a
software-only offering for popular platforms from Cisco and HPE.
Nutanix Calm is planned to be available for sale by calendar Q4
2017. Nutanix Xi Cloud Services for disaster recovery are planned
to be offered for early access by calendar Q1 2018.
Supporting Quotes:
“We see the next decade as the 'decade of coexistence' where
there will be a shift of enterprise workloads spread across both
traditional environments and public/private ‘multi-clouds,’” said
Gary Gauba, Chief Enterprise Relationship Officer and President,
Advanced Solutions Group in CenturyLink’s IT & Managed Services
business unit. “From our perspective, a converged environment that
is highly automated and optimized for workloads – which also
provides simplified steady-state management and predictive scaling
– will be what drives the business.”
"With enterprise architectures encompassing multiple clouds,
having a software-driven fabric is imperative for driving efficient
IT operations,” Clint Augustine, Senior Director, IT, The Home
Depot. “Nutanix has an impressive track record for delivering
powerful software solutions that run across different platforms and
is well positioned to help us continue to reduce costs and deliver
higher value.”
“Having an infrastructure strategy that covers on-premises data
centers and public cloud without also taking edge and distributed
environments into consideration is no longer acceptable for modern
businesses,” said Eric Sheppard, Research Director, Enterprise
Storage and Converged Infrastructure, IDC. “With its Enterprise
Cloud OS, Nutanix is once again offering a compelling vision for
enterprise infrastructure that aligns with the needs of this new
multi-cloud era.”
“Multi-cloud IT strategies require much more than today’s first
generation hybrid cloud architectures, which force companies to
provision and manage separate IT silos” said Sunil Potti, Chief
Product and Development Officer, Nutanix. “The Nutanix Enterprise
Cloud OS enables ubiquitous consumption of simple, delightful cloud
services across any enterprise infrastructure and will be expanded
with Nutanix Calm to deliver a consistent experience across all
cloud environments, while new Nutanix Xi Cloud Services will enable
enterprise apps to be consumed as a service without burdensome
‘forklift’ operations - making lift-and-shift a thing of the
past.”
