Agencies Turning to Nutanix Enterprise Cloud
Solutions to Upgrade Legacy IT
Nutanix (NASDAQ:NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing,
today announced record adoption of its AHV hypervisor within the
federal government vertical in calendar year 2017. 74 percent of
all Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS nodes sold to federal agencies in
2017 are leveraging AHV, compared to 30 percent adoption by the
Nutanix worldwide customer base, based on a rolling four-quarter
average.
In addition to growth in AHV adoption, Nutanix’s federal
business experienced several milestones during the last fiscal
year, including:
- Adding nearly 100 new customers in
2017, including component organizations within the U.S. Departments
of Defense, Commerce, Interior, Energy, Health and Human Services,
the U.S. Federal Court system and federal systems integrators
- 20 new federal customers with total
investments valued at more than $1 million each, an 82 percent
increase from the number of customers in previous fiscal year
- 320 unique federal customers at the end
of 2017
“Gartner estimates U.S. federal cloud spending will more than
double over the next four years... Although some agencies —
Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (RATB), Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), GSA's 18F and Commerce's
International Trade Administration (ITA) — were, are or will be
cloud-only, that model will likely be atypical.” Instead, “most
agencies will retain a hybrid model for the foreseeable future,
choosing cloud-native services for some fraction of their portfolio
and maintaining an on-premises component for those most sensitive
and mission-critical applications.” (Gartner, Inc., Get Ready for
the Inflection Point in U.S. Federal Government Cloud Adoption,
Rick Holgate and Neville Cannon, January 19, 2016, refreshed June
9, 2017). We believe this will allow agencies to stay true to
federally mandated cloud-first strategies, prevent them from
becoming locked-in to a single provider, and enable agencies to
modernize systems without increasing cost, complexity or impacting
performance.
“The demands on federal IT customers couldn’t be higher. They
are facing increasing pressure to modernize systems and implement
heightened security, all while reducing costs,” said Dheeraj
Pandey, co-founder and CEO of Nutanix. “Nutanix’s momentum in the
federal vertical demonstrates that customers are increasingly
turning to Nutanix to meet these needs—pulling back from
‘one-size-fits-all’ public cloud strategies and placing a greater
emphasis on hybrid ecosystems to modernize their legacy systems. We
are eager to continue to partner with federal customers to achieve
these goals.”
Government agencies are turning to hybrid ecosystems to lower
total cost of ownership and match applications with appropriate
cloud environments. Federal organizations that are modernizing and
optimizing their infrastructure are finding strong value in
Nutanix’s ability to help them reduce the number of separate IT
silos. As Nutanix continues to introduce new technologies, like the
recently acquired Botmetric, which provides visibility into cloud
usage so organizations can better manage costs, federal agencies
will continue to see value from adopting the Nutanix Enterprise
Cloud OS.
By including AHV in the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS software
stack, Nutanix helps government agencies reduce cost and complexity
while enhancing the visibility and functionality of their
infrastructure. Customers leveraging AHV can eliminate the need to
purchase separate virtualization technology, significantly reducing
costs and eliminating the need to manage multiple licenses. Federal
customers continue to account for the largest portion of the
Nutanix AHV user base.
