Nutanix also offers powerful virtualization capabilities, including core virtual machine (VM) operations, live migration, VM high availbility, and virtual network management, as fully integrated features of the infrastructure stack rather than as standalone products that require separate deployment and management. The Nutanix solution has two primary product families—Nutanix Acropolis and Nutanix Prism. Acropolis is the distributed data plane that provides storage, virtualization, backup, and DR services, and Prism is the centralized management solution for Nutanix environments.
