Editor's Notes

  • #3 Now, let’s talk about the actual products that Nutanix offers. There are two foundational products in the Nutanix solution -  Nutanix Acropolis, and Nutanix Prism.  Acropolis is the data fabric that natively converges compute, storage and virtualization to run any application at any scale.  Prism is the control plane that simplifies datacenter operations by providing a single pane of glass to manage compute, storage and virtualization and offering rich automation and operational insights.
  • #4 Prism brings simplicity to infrastructure management, and features innovative One-Click technology that streamlines time-consuming IT tasks One-Click Infrastructure Management - Nutanix Prism gives administrators an easy way to manage virtual environments running on Acropolis. It simplifies and streamlines common workflows for hypervisor and virtual machine (VM) management, from VM creation and migration to virtual network setup and hypervisor upgrades. Rather than replicating the full set of features found in other virtualization solutions, virtualization management in Prism has been designed for an uncluttered, consumer-grade experience. One-click Operational Insight - Prism provides rich insights about day-to-day operations of the datacenter. Prism is powered by advanced machine learning technology with built-in heuristics and business intelligence to easily and quickly mine large volumes of system data and generate actionable insights for optimizing all aspects of infrastructure performance. One-Click Remediation - Nutanix Prism reduces mean time to resolution significantly by proactively analyzing trends and predict when certain failures can occur. In addition to that Prism also provides customized recommendations to resolve issues with a single click. Instead of showing individual alerts, Prism intelligently maps alerts to specific services and shows the errors impact on applications, helping IT admins gain more confidence about how their applications are running.
