Nutanix is a leading provider of software for private and hybrid cloud solutions. The company began as a pioneer in hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and today offers a powerful platform for building and managing private clouds.
Their solutions simplify IT operations by combining storage, compute and virtualization in a single solution. Originally focused on VMware customers, they have since expanded to support Microsoft Hyper-V, the KVM hypervisor and their own hypervisor, Acropolis (AHV).
Today, Nutanix offers a flexible, vendor-neutral software platform for managing virtualized resources from a central application. The solution includes centralized management, integrated storage, database management and virtual desktop environments.
