Nutanix makes infrastructure invisible, elevating IT to focus on the applications and services that power their business.

The Nutanix enterprise cloud platform leverages web-scale engineering and consumer-grade design to natively converge compute, virtualization and storage into a resilient, software-defined solution with rich machine intelligence. The result is predictable performance, cloud-like infrastructure consumption, robust security, and seamless application mobility for a broad range of enterprise applications.

The Nutanix solution enables easy deployment of any virtual workload, including large-scale virtual desktop initiatives (VDI), development/test apps, private clouds, big data (Hadoop) projects and more. Nutanix customers can radically simplify and seamlessly scale out their datacenter infrastructures with cost-efficient appliances that can be deployed in under 30 minutes for rapid time to value.

The Nutanix Engineering team is led by the same developers and architects who created the renowned Google File System. The company’s management team hails from leading cloud, database, virtualization and infrastructure companies, and brings unparalleled experience in developing technologies that fundamentally disrupt multi-billion dollar markets.

The Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform is a converged, scale-out compute and storage system that is purpose-built to host and store virtual machines.

All nodes in a Nutanix cluster converge to deliver a unified pool of tiered storage and present resources to VMs for seamless access. A global data system architecture integrates each new node into the cluster, allowing you to scale the solution to meet the needs of your infrastructure.

The foundational unit for the cluster is a Nutanix node. Each node in the cluster runs a standard hypervisor and contains processors, memory, and local storage (SSDs and hard disks).

A Nutanix Controller VM runs on each node, enabling the pooling of local storage from all nodes in the cluster.
