The Nutanix .NEXT 2019 conference has the company extend the Xi Frame desktop-as-a-service solution from the public cloud to the private cloud, as well as the announcement of more availability zones for the Xi Leap disaster recovery service.
As the company puts it, the latest Xi Frame update running on the Nutanix AHV hypervisor allows customers to extend desktop delivery to Nutanix private clouds, integrating virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) services with the Nutanix Neterprise Cloud Platform. A single console provides the management and simultaneous delivery of Xi Frame desktops, and customers can provision 1000s of virtual desktops in "minutes," be it through AWS, Azure or Nutanix private cloud deployments using AHV.
In addition, the Xi Leap disaster recovery service is now available in Italy through a partnership with Sparkle, the services arm of Telecom Italia, as well as in Germany and Japan. Xi Leap also provides disaster recovery services for workloads running on Nutanix private clouds using VMware ESXi, making it easier to transform existing applications into a hybrid service.
Another tool in the Nutanix multi-cloud box is Xi Beam-- now featuring real-time security compliance module designed to identify critical cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities and recommend specific remediation. Such security and compliance functionality will enable IT architects to fix security risks before they impact business.
“The multicloud world is the new reality for IT-- it’s no longer up for debate. Customers need solutions that can bring together the full mix of public, private, and edge clouds that will soon make up their critical infrastructure without drowning them in needless complexity and unchecked costs,” Nutanix says. “By continuing to add new capabilities to our portfolio, we’re giving customers the freedom to deliver their applications and data from the cloud that makes the most sense for their business.”
