Managing multi-cloud environments presents significant challenges for IT leaders as they navigate complex infrastructure decisions and a lack of visibility to their cloud workloads and endpoints. Nutanix offers unified solutions for running applications across hybrid and multiclouds with a single management plane, while Stratodesk addresses the complexity for managing and securing the end-user digital workspaces and physical desktops.
Regardless of an organization’s current infrastructure mix, endpoint hardware, or location of employees, Stratodesk and Nutanix make security and management easy for VDI and cloud environments, all while providing a seamless employee experience.
For end-user computing, Stratodesk NoTouch OS supports end users anywhere and on any hardware brand (Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, etc.) and form factor (PC, Laptop, Thin Clients etc.). NoTouch OS offers seamless, friction-free access, support for unified communications, and reduced complexity on the endpoint. NoTouch Center, the endpoint management platform, empowers IT teams to manage, control, and monitor their widely dispersed end user devices, all without ever physically touching the device.
Stronger Security for Multi Cloud and End-User Computing Endpoint Management
Nutanix and Stratodesk strengthen organizations' cybersecurity postures by increasing resiliency and decreasing the attack surface. Stratodesk NoTouch OS is a read-only, Linux based, endpoint operating system with no local storage, rendering most cyber threats ineffective. Stratodesk NoTouch Center empowers IT administrators to swiftly reboot NoTouch endpoints, ensuring uninterrupted core operations.
Nutanix improves ransomware detection capabilities and ransomware resiliency with file storage snapshots, replication and signature identification, along with anomaly recognition and automated remediation. The platform simplifies security management in hybrid multi-cloud environments by providing streamlined control and administration.
Together, Stratodesk and Nutanix create security strongholds. By fortifying both physical endpoints and multi-cloud environments with robust cybersecurity features, this partnership significantly reduces the likelihood of successful cyber attacks.
Sustainable IT Practices with Stratodesk and Nutanix
IT sustainability has become a critical focus for organizations seeking to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining technological efficiency. Stratodesk supports green IT initiatives by extending endpoint hardware lifecycles to over five years with a future-proof OS and by utilizing a lean operating system that consumes fewer resources.
Nutanix complements these efforts by addressing overprovisioning and underutilization of resources, reducing data center footprints, and optimizing workload placement. These strategies not only contribute to sustainability goals but may also lead to significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency. Nutanix is designed to help companies minimize their carbon footprint and electronic waste while maximizing the value of their IT investments.
Navigating Windows 11 Migration Challenges
Windows 11 migration presents a significant challenge for many organizations, with approximately one-third of current hardware failing to meet the new operating system's requirements. This situation has prompted innovative solutions to extend the life of existing endpoint hardware.
Stratodesk's NoTouch OS offers a secure alternative, allowing users to access Windows applications and experiences through cloud-based VDI solutions like Citrix, Omnissa Horizon, Frame, and others, while maintaining a secure environment on the endpoint. Nutanix further supports Windows 11 migration initiatives through its Cloud Platform with AHV, which is fully compatible with Windows 11's requirements, including support for virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM).
Additionally, Nutanix's platform enables efficient replication of Windows 11 for backup and disaster recovery purposes, ensuring a smooth transition for organizations upgrading their endpoint operating systems.
