Just about a decade back, when Nutanix set on the path to bring simplicity to IT infrastructure, we created the operating system for datacenters. An OS that can manage and provide services that typically run in a DC - compute, virtualization, storage, and associated networking. Some of the focused workloads were (and are) End User Computing, Server Virtualization, Database Management (SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA) and so on.On this journey of bringing simplicity and agility, we mastered the art of 1-click (Foundation, Upgrades, Prism), Business Continuity and DR (so mission-critical apps can run confidently on AOS), and Security (making it one of our leading differentiators).Even a decade back, from what I have heard from the early stakeholders, our founders always had a vision about the upcoming Cloud era. Our steps from the beginning were first freedom of choice, second HW agnostic SW, and finally the transition to a software business model and then to subscription. These have all been step

This post was authored by Amit Jain and Sean Roth, NutanixOur new Kubernetes-based PaaS enables you to easily build, deploy, and manage your most innovative applications on any cloudThough every organization’s cloud native journey plays out differently, the end goal remains the same: capitalize on the substantial gains in business agility and scalability that containers, Kubernetes, and the growing ecosystem of cloud technologies yields. Enterprises want to move faster, but the great challenge lies in putting the right frameworks, tools, and technologies in place in order to be able to go fast. Furthermore, all of those solutions (Kubernetes, especially) take a lot of time and effort to master and operate properly.Simplifying Kubernetes lifecycle management to adequately serve developers’ resource needs is just the beginning of what cloud native organizations need to accomplish. Even with a managed solution in place to keep Kubernetes from getting in developers’ way, we know that much
This post was authored by Sarah Hernandez and Mayank Gupta, NutanixWhile capacity planning and anomaly detection were always the most recognized benefits of Prism’s Operations Tier (Pro & Ultimate), the addition of X-Play (cross-play) in AOS 5.11 for “codeless” automation has cemented the role of Prism for AI-driven Intelligent Ops. With X-Play, IT admins can set triggers for system-generated alerts, define the subsequent actions, and save-enable the “routine” for true automation running 24x7.Getting StartedUnlike other automation solutions that can be complex and hard to learn, X-Play is simple by design. Anyone familiar with infrastructure operations alerts and actions should be able to create a playbook within a matter of minutes. X-Play provides a collection of design libraries for out-of-the-box actions for notification, VM management, reporting, and scheduling. It also includes the REST API and script actions that can connect to your existing tools and systems.Following are s

This post was authored by Mayur Shah & Bala Kuchibhotla, NutanixData volumes are growing exponentially year-over-year. Experts believe that 90% of the world’s data was created in just the last two years. It’s clear that the way we generate and consume data has changed, and—given the fast pace of modern business—traditional approaches to database management are failing to meet growing enterprise demands. Your IT operations may already be facing significant database-related challenges including:Growing complexity. Teams spend too much time managing and troubleshooting legacy databases, leaving little time for optimization, innovation, or growing your business. Poor performance and scaling. Existing database deployment models suffer from slow provisioning and poor scalability—and require constant tuning to achieve adequate performance. Inadequate data security. Databases are the workhorses of many business systems, often storing sensitive customer and business data. Lately there has b
