Innovative Application Mobility and One-Click Technologies Transform Infrastructure Capabilities and Elevate IT MIAMI, FLORIDA - June 9, 2015 - Today at the .NEXT Conference, Nutanix unveiled its next-generation Xtreme Computing Platform (XCP) to deliver invisible infrastructure, enabling IT teams to focus on what matters to them - the applications and services that power their business. Comprised of two comprehensive product families, Nutanix Acropolis and Nutanix Prism, XCP extends the industry-leading hyperconverged solution to enable application independence from infrastructure with an advanced app mobility feature, native virtualization and consumer-grade search capability. These innovations greatly simplify the datacenter, reduce costs and enhance IT service delivery. Today, many business applications run on traditional storage and virtualization products that are time consuming to deploy, expensive to manage, difficult to scale and challenging to migrate from. Enterprises need infrastructure that delivers cloud-like scalability, resiliency, agility and flexibility - but with lower costs, better application service levels, and trusted security. Nutanix XCP makes the entire infrastructure lifecycle invisible and diminishes the innovation and financial burden borne by users of existing datacenter solutions. "The most transformative technologies are the ones we don't even think about. They work all the time, scale on demand and self-heal. In other words, they are invisible," said Dheeraj Pandey, CEO and founder of Nutanix. "Building on our foundations of web-scale engineering and consumer-grade design, we will make virtualization as invisible as we've made storage and elevate enterprise IT expectations yet again." "With a leading 52% market share in the hyperconverged infrastructure market, Nutanix has demonstrated its ability to radically simplify data storage for all size enterprises," said Matt Eastwood, senior vice president of IDC. "Their next big opportunity is to tackle the inherent cost and complexity of legacy virtualization stacks, and elevate IT teams so they can focus on driving the business." Nutanix Acropolis Nutanix Acropolis builds on the core capabilities of the company's flagship hyperconverged product to incorporate an innovative open platform for virtualization and application mobility. Acropolis offers IT professionals the flexibility to choose the best application platform technology for their organization - whether it is traditional hypervisors, emerging hypervisors or containers. With Nutanix Acropolis, infrastructure decisions can be made based on application performance and scalability and economic considerations, while allowing workloads to move more seamlessly without penalty should requirements change. Nutanix Acropolis is comprised of three foundational components:
