In the rapidly evolving digital environment, organizations are increasingly relying on a multitude of modern applications to serve their customers, partners, and vendors. These applications are dynamic, distributed, and hosted across various platforms, from data centers to the cloud. This growing complexity and the subsequent need for simple, unified management at scale have led to the surge in demand for Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI).
Hyperconverged simplifies hybrid cloud
Operating in a hybrid, multicloud world can be both complex and costly without the right strategy and infrastructure. Businesses face increasing challenges because of the demand for rapid application and service delivery, higher security and sustainability requirements, and the need for more efficient operational strategies. It’s therefore essential for organizations to adopt an infrastructure solution that can reduce risk at every layer and simplify deployment, operations, and support at a global scale.
In response to these challenges, more organizations are turning to HCI solutions for their simplicity, flexibility, and cloud-like scalability capabilities. IT leaders need a scalable and consistent operating model that can easily and quickly deploy, manage, and support infrastructure and applications anywhere, from the data center to the edge and the cloud.
Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix
A simple, comprehensive solution from Cisco and Nutanix
Cisco and Nutanix have come together to offer the industry’s most simple, comprehensive HCI solution. The Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix solution combines the Cisco Unified Computing Systems (UCS) innovative server, networking, and SaaS management with Nutanix’s leading HCI foundation, offering a fully integrated and validated system with flexible deployment options and a unified, enhanced support model backed by two world-class organizations.
The solution offers three key benefits:
● Complete simplicity: The solution offers both SaaS and on-premises management options and includes day-0 through day-N operations, including service profiles for compute, storage, and networking customized for Nutanix to help simplify and accelerate cluster deployment and deliver better performance and resiliency. This also includes preinstalled software configured with a choice of hypervisor for a faster, easier start. Cisco and Nutanix combined and complementary cloud operating models provide control, visibility, and consistency across highly distributed IT environments, including fully integrated cluster installation, expansion, and end-to-end software and firmware upgrades. To simplify the buying experience, the complete solution can be ordered and delivered from Cisco.
● Complete flexibility: The Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix solution addresses modern applications and use cases, offering multiple choices in UCS server deployment options, the latest accelerator and drive technologies, and SaaS innovations from two industry powerhouses, including integrations with the leading public cloud providers. Additionally, the solution incorporates Cisco's best-in-class networking technology, including Cisco ACI integrations, to enhance performance and resiliency for data-intensive workloads in hybrid cloud environments.
● Complete resiliency: The joint solution utilizes only enterprise-grade components and offers augmented system protection with a collaborative support model and proactive, automated resilience and security capabilities. This includes integrated support systems and case notes for faster triage. Any time log files are uploaded, or case notes are generated, that information is shared, enabling enhanced collaboration among support teams to resolve issues faster and provide an improved customer experience. Our policy-based approach minimizes human error and configuration drift, resulting in consistent, reliable cluster deployments.
It also enforces overall security posture through centralized authorizations, preventing tampering of configurations.
