Nutanix and ServiceNow Team to Deliver
Self-Service for Automating Common IT Workflows
.NEXT conference -- Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in
enterprise cloud computing, announced today that the Nutanix
hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform is integrated with the
ServiceNow IT Operations Management solution to automate critical
private cloud workflows. With this integration, ServiceNow
customers can not only discover Nutanix HCI environments
automatically, but also gain access to Nutanix-powered IT services
and get direct notification of critical incidents related to
Nutanix HCI in their private clouds.
Automating the mundane tasks of IT is essential to facilitating
and accelerating digital transformation in enterprises. By
automating the most requested services and workflows, IT teams can
reduce time spent on servicing incidents and issues and focus on
offering a public cloud-like experience within the data center,
competitive differentiation and strategic planning.
In a new survey1 of 2,650 IT decision-makers around the world by
Vanson Bourne, commissioned by Nutanix, nearly all (98%) said that
automation of IT operations is important to their organization,
with 56% saying it was “extremely important.” In addition,
according to Gartner: "By 2022, intelligent infrastructure will add
infrastructure machine learning, analytics and artificial
intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) as software to 60% of HCI
and composable integrated systems."2
Integration with the ServiceNow IT Operations Management
solution enables Nutanix customers to:
- Automatically discover Nutanix private cloud environments with
ServiceNow ITOM Discovery capability, giving IT operators
end-to-end visibility of Nutanix assets, including HCI clusters,
individual hosts, virtual machine (VM) instances, storage pools and
dozens more configuration parameters and application-centric
metrics.
- Deliver self-service capabilities to ServiceNow users so they
can quickly provision, manage and scale applications via Nutanix
Calm blueprints, which are published as service catalog items in
the Now Platform. The Nutanix Calm plug-in is available through the
ServiceNow Store.
- Better manage Nutanix-based private cloud operations via
integration with Nutanix’s X-Play automation engine built into
Prism Pro. With a new X-Play action for ServiceNow, IT managers can
leverage ServiceNow ITSM service to notify their team of incidents
and alerts in their Nutanix-powered private cloud environment, such
as when a host loses power, or a server is running out of
capacity.
“Automation is the key to harnessing the power and flexibility
of private cloud, removing mundane tasks so IT can focus on
competitive differentiation through the use of the latest
innovations, while future-proofing their infrastructure
investment,” said Rajiv Mirani, Chief Technical Officer of Cloud
Platforms at Nutanix. “By integrating Nutanix software with
ServiceNow's leading digital workflow solutions, we are making it
easier to deliver end-to-end automation of infrastructure and
application workflows so that private cloud can deliver the same
simplicity and flexibility as public cloud services.”
“IT leaders are increasingly demanding more automation across
their cloud infrastructures so they can focus on higher-level,
strategic drivers of their digital transformation,” said Jeff
Hausman, Vice President and General Manager of IT Operations
Management at ServiceNow. “Leveraging ServiceNow IT Operations
Management to establish visibility into the Nutanix environment
will allow customers to better manage their overall operations
footprint, proactively remediate issues and protect the efficiency
and resiliency of their IT investments.”
