This post was authored by Marc Waldrop, Principal Product Manager, Files, Eric Wang, Staff Engineer, Files, Anish Jain, Senior Technical Manager, Business Continuity and Disaster RecoveryWay back in a time long, long ago (okay, not that long ago), we released Nutanix Files Storage version 4.4. With that release, we introduced our first support for Files Storage running in a Metro cluster configuration. 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. So we hammered away on the keyboard, worked day and night, drank endless amounts of soda, and ate more pizza than we are comfortable admitting to. Through lots of hard work and c

This guest post was authored by our friends at Dell Technologies, Tony Foster, and Harsha YadappanavarIn the realm of IT, where precision meets innovation, Dell emerges as the first third-party storage platform to harmonize with the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) solution. This is a symphony to the ears of IT administrators, yet to truly stir the soul, it requires the delicate notes of data protection. Enter HYCU, and behold, a ballet of technology unfolds, poetry in motion for those who safeguard our digital realms.You might wonder how these products dance together, intertwining to create an elegant solution for the enterprise. In this blog, we will explore this graceful choreography, beginning with NCP's powerful platform for enterprise workloads, then delving into the art of protecting those workloads with HYCU utilizing Dell Data Domain for storing and retrieving backup data.Dell PowerFlex with NCPThe Dell PowerFlex with NCP offers a robust and scalable solution for modern data cente

Across the globe, sovereign cloud is no longer a niche concern – it’s a strategic imperative. Governments and regulated industries are demanding data localization, operational transparency and infrastructure sovereignty.This shift places regional managed service providers in a powerful position to lead. However, legacy architectures for virtualization, compute and storage are holding them back.Having recently joined Nutanix after over a decade leading cloud strategy and product development at one of the world’s largest service providers, I’ve seen firsthand how critical this moment is. I’m excited to help our partners seize this opportunity with the right combination of technical depth and go-to-market alignment.This blog is the first in a series where I’ll capture the strategy, vision, and platform strengths that help our service provider partners to excel in this rapidly evolving market.Why sovereign cloud and why now?Sovereign cloud is about more than just keeping data within nation

In today’s rapidly evolving software landscape, containerization has become the go-to method for deploying applications efficiently. However, in the rush to deliver new applications, containers are often deployed in an uncoordinated, siloed fashion, resulting in what is sometimes called “shadow IT”.The Pitfalls of Running Container Workloads in a SilosWhen organizations deploy containerized applications without a centralized orchestration system, they often encounter several challenges:Lack of Scalability – Without an orchestrator, scaling applications becomes a manual, error-prone task that can lead to performance bottlenecks.Inconsistent Deployments – Managing multiple container environments independently may lead to discrepancies in configurations, resulting in failed deployments and finger-pointing between teams when there’s a problem, increasing downtime.Resource Inefficiency – Without a scheduler to allocate resources dynamically, workloads may either over-utilize or under-utiliz

With the explosive growth of cloud-native application development – including Generative AI – containers have become an essential component of modern IT infrastructure. Unfortunately, in the rush to move quickly, operations can often become siloed with various teams deploying solutions to meet their needs. The result is often known as “shadow IT,” and it can potentially result in increased costs and security risks, along with difficulty in resiliency and scaling. The good news is Nutanix has a solution and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Pro and Ultimate customers already have access to it as part of their existing licenses.The Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution provides the same benefits as NCI in a single unified platform that allows you to manage VMs and containers side by side without the need for specialized training. NKP works with any CNCF-conformant Kubernetes® runtime, simplifying operations, removing silos, and streamlining updates and patches to maintain security
