At that time, the release only supported Nutanix Files Storage running in a Metro cluster configuration with the VMware ESXi hypervisor. If you are interested -  shameless plug for an earlier blog on this subject - you can read more about that HERE.Being a software-defined data services offering and Nutanix having this other hypervisor, a few people may have heard of named  AHV, we still had a little work to do.

Across the globe, sovereign cloud is no longer a niche concern – it’s a strategic imperative.
