Strategic Alliance Between Industry Innovators
Aims to Simplify Hybrid Cloud
Nutanix® (NASDAQ:NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing,
announced a strategic alliance with Google® Cloud today at the
Nutanix .NEXT Conference 2017. As a result of the partnership,
joint customers will be able to deploy and manage both cloud-based
and traditional enterprise applications as a unified public cloud
service, while blending the Nutanix environment with Google Cloud
Platform™ (GCP). Google and Nutanix will work together to address
the technology opportunities for building and operating hybrid
clouds that combine the best of private cloud architectures and
scalable public cloud environments.
Enterprise customers will be able to leverage the combined power
of Nutanix and the Google Cloud Platform for:
- One-Click Hybrid Operations with
Nutanix Calm™ for GCP enabling a single control plane for
managing applications between GCP and Nutanix cloud environments.
Traditional and cloud-native applications can be provisioned into
GCP or Nutanix cloud environments with a single click, and migrated
between the two cloud environments seamlessly. With Nutanix Calm,
applications are modeled as simple, repeatable application
blueprints that can be triggered with a single click and easily
migrated across Nutanix and GCP environments.
- Nutanix Xi™ Cloud Services on
GCP enabling Nutanix customers to natively extend their
datacenter environment into GCP and providing a unified fabric that
will be able to deliver both traditional Mode 1 and modern Mode 2
applications to make lift-and-shift operations between private and
public clouds easier. For example, enterprises could leverage a Xi
Cloud Services Disaster Recovery running in GCP, and then run
BigQuery analytics against the full application data set without
expensive, repetitive data migration operations.
- Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS with
built-in support for Kubernetes® enabling container-based
applications to be deployed, managed and scaled in a Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud. A joint solution combining Kubernetes, Google
Container Engine (GKE) and Acropolis Container Services (ACS) can
provide an enterprise-grade environment for containers, including
scalable persistent storage services for stateful application
workloads. Cloud managers can quickly self-provision Kubernetes via
a pre-defined application blueprint with Nutanix Calm, and
instantiate containerized applications in either Google Cloud or a
Nutanix-powered environment.
In addition, Google and Nutanix have agreed to collaborate on
Internet of Things (IoT) use-cases marrying real-time edge
intelligence with core cloud computing. Customers can leverage
Nutanix as an “intelligent edge” for GCP-based IoT applications by
deploying TensorFlow for edge processing, while training
machine learning models and running analytics on the processed
metadata in GCP. A concept demo of this IoT platform will be
unveiled at the Nutanix .NEXT conference at the session entitled
“VS101: IoT and Edge Computing”.
“Nutanix and Google are poised to disrupt traditional IT and
cloud computing, " said Ashok Belani, EVP Technology, Schlumberger.
"We've leveraged both solutions for our private and public cloud
services to drive innovation in the Oil & Gas industry.”
“Hybrid Cloud needs be a two-way street,” said Sudheesh Nair,
President, Nutanix. “The strategic alliance with Google
demonstrates our commitment to simplify operations for our
customers with a single enterprise cloud OS across both private and
public clouds - with ubiquity, extensibility and intuitive
design.”
“With this strategic alliance with Nutanix, Google is addressing
one of the most pressing technology challenges faced by enterprises
– the ability to manage hybrid cloud applications without
sacrificing security or scalability,” said Nan Boden, Head of
Global Technology Partners, Google Cloud. “Partners like Nutanix
are essential for us to build a thriving ecosystem and help
enterprises innovate faster."
