Thus, the high global demand for multi-cloud technology, combined with the need to simplify its operation, has led Cisco and Nutanix<\/strong> to form a strategic alliance to offer an innovative solution that simplifies and accelerates IT modernization and business transformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution is Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix<\/strong>, a hyperconverged platform that integrates Cisco’s SaaS-managed network and computing infrastructure with Nutanix’s cloud platform, aiming to offer the best cloud operating models, flexible deployment options, and automated resilience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n “This alliance offers a complete solution, including virtual computing, networking, and storage in customers’ data centers and public clouds. By combining Cisco’s award-winning SaaS-managed computing solutions with Nutanix’s cloud platform software<\/strong>, we can help companies power their on-prem and cloud workloads,” said Jeremy Foster, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco Networking \u2013 Compute.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new solution provides flexible installation options, with support for Cisco UCS rack and blade servers, including initial support for C-Series servers and future support for UCS X-Series servers (winners of the SEAL Sustainable Product of the Year Award 2023 and CRN\u2019s Tech Innovator Award 2023). Additionally, it integrates Cisco’s advanced servers (UCS), networking and security (ACI), and management (UCS Manager, Intersight) with Nutanix Cloud Platform software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Our collaboration expands the market opportunity for both companies, helping address the challenges of standardizing, simplifying, and securing environments across the data center, public cloud, and edge,” said Tarkan Maner, Chief Commercial Officer of Nutanix<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is an approach to IT infrastructure that combines servers, storage, computing, network connectivity, and virtualization into a unified system to manage them in an agile, secure manner, replacing traditional enterprise structures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The components of this technology are nodes and clusters. Each node is a server that includes computing resources (CPU, RAM), storage, and networking. These nodes are grouped into clusters that provide resources for the entire IT infrastructure, enabling the creation of flexible and scalable environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In HCI platforms, nodes in a cluster work in a coordinated and collaborative manner through specialized software that manages efficient resource allocation, workload distribution, and overall infrastructure management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When a company opts for hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), it gains these benefits: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before starting the implementation of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), it is crucial to define performance and scalability needs, storage capacities, application requirements, and other key variables for the organization. Then, it will be essential to evaluate the HCI options available in the market, such as VMware vSAN, Nutanix & Cisco, Microsoft Azure Stack HCI, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAlliance for Cloud Optimization<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
