Better Together: Nutanix HCI with VMware

Move beyond traditional storage

Relying on traditional SAN-based infrastructure limits the flexibility and agility of your VMware environment. Storage arrays are large, expensive purchases that require extensive planning, and scalability becomes a major issue as more storage I/O flows through the same controllers.

How Nutanix improves VMware environments

Nutanix HCI converges the entire datacentre stack — compute, storage, storage networking and virtualisation — using commodity server hardware with locally attached storage powered by a distributed software layer. A virtualised controller VM on each node makes storage management VM-centric and self-healing, and integrates seamlessly so VMware administrators can keep managing workloads with vCenter.

With Nutanix HCI, you can

• Simplify operations and maximise resiliency without the complexity and fragility of a SAN.
• Improve agility and flexibility — provision workloads quickly and repurpose infrastructure as needed.
• Optimise infrastructure investments with just-in-time scalability and subscription licensing.
• Make hybrid multicloud management a reality with true public and private cloud interoperability.
