Expansion Empowers Customers to Deliver and
Protect Apps and Desktops from the Cloud of their Choice
Nutanix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud
computing, today announced the continued evolution of its offerings
across private and public clouds, further making multicloud
computing a reality for its customers. With today’s news Nutanix is
extending its Xi Frame desktop-as-a-service solution from the
public cloud to the private cloud, enabling the delivery of apps
and desktops in a true hybrid cloud environment. In addition, the
company is announcing new functionality and additional planned
availability zones for its cloud-based disaster recovery (DR)
service, Xi Leap.
According to the IDC InfoBrief, Sponsored by Nutanix, “Surviving
and Thriving in a Multi-cloud World,” multicloud deployments are
now the norm for enterprise organizations – less than 30% of
customers report using single cloud environments. Most customers
leverage different cloud platforms across multiple service
providers. The interoperability of data and applications between
these varied cloud environments is growing in importance and yet
access to hybrid cloud capabilities where a single application runs
across clouds remains elusive to most organizations. As companies
eagerly seek out ways to make the multi cloud environment a
reality, these new updates from Nutanix provide additional
capabilities to streamline the implementation of their cloud
services deployments.
Introducing Nutanix Xi Frame for the Private Cloud
With Nutanix Xi Frame customers can already access applications
and virtual desktops from popular public clouds like AWS and Azure,
simply and easily, using any browser and any device. With the
latest Xi Frame update running on the Nutanix AHV hypervisor,
customers can now extend desktop delivery to their Nutanix private
cloud, integrating virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) services
with the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform. Xi Frame desktops can
be simultaneously delivered via multiple clouds and managed via a
single console for seamless control and administration, providing a
true hybrid experience.
In addition to being available to users on AWS and Azure, Xi
Frame is now also available to customers worldwide for Nutanix
private cloud deployments using AHV. Customers can provision 1000s
of virtual desktops in minutes as opposed to weeks enabling them to
improve the economics, speed and scale of desktop delivery. IT
teams can now select the right cloud - public or private - for
their VDI initiatives.
Extending the Reach of Cloud-based DR to More Regions with
Nutanix Xi Leap
As enterprises continue to embrace cloud services, and
enterprise infrastructures become more virtual, data and IT
operations are rapidly migrating to the cloud. When done right,
cloud-based disaster recovery is an attractive strategy for any
size organization to protect their business-critical applications.
Nutanix Xi Leap extends the enterprise datacenter to the cloud
allowing IT teams to harmonize public and private clouds, and to
deliver enhanced availability for critical data and applications.
Customers get a natively-integrated DR cloud service, and single
pane management, to protect critical workloads running in the
datacenter and in a cloud, delivering improved business
continuity.
Nutanix is adding new capabilities to its Xi Leap DR service,
including:
- New Availability Zones: Nutanix
Xi Leap is expanding beyond its current availability zones in US
West, US East and the U.K. In the coming months, additional Xi Leap
availability zones are expected to be available in Italy, through
Nutanix’s partnership with Sparkle, the international services arm
of Telecom Italia Group, as well as in Japan and Germany.
- Support for ESXi: Xi Leap now
also provides DR services for enterprise workloads running on
Nutanix private clouds using VMware ESXi, making it even simpler to
transform existing applications into a hybrid service.
“With previous disaster recovery systems, we weren’t able to
achieve the performance we expected for virtual machine restoration
and managing DR as a separate silo made our infrastructure more
complex,” said Patrick Sudderth, Director of Technical Services,
Lexipol. “Nutanix Xi Leap allows us to configure policies that
automate the DR workflow directly within the Prism Console and
restoration happens in a matter of minutes. No other DRaaS vendor
can come close to the simplicity of execution we experience with Xi
Leap.”
Securing Cloud Applications
Fundamental to delivering applications in a multicloud
architecture is ensuring that applications remain secure -
independent of the cloud infrastructure chosen. Comprehensive and
automated compliance assessments are necessary to ensure
application mobility between clouds. Xi Beam, a Nutanix SaaS
offering that provides cloud governance, will include a real-time
security compliance module designed to identify critical cloud
infrastructure vulnerabilities and recommend specific remediation.
With new security and compliance functionality, IT architects will
be enabled to fix security risks before they impact the
business.
“The multicloud world is the new reality for IT - it’s no longer
up for debate. Customers need solutions that can bring together the
full mix of public, private, and edge clouds that will soon make up
their critical infrastructure without drowning them in needless
complexity and unchecked costs,” said Sunil Potti, Chief Product
and Development Officer, Nutanix. “By continuing to add new
capabilities to our portfolio, we’re giving customers the freedom
to deliver their applications and data from the cloud that makes
the most sense for their business.”
