Nutanix Launches Xpress to power Enterprise clouds
Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud computing, has announced Nutanix Xpress, a new solution designed to bring the power of the Nutanix enterprise cloud platform to small and medium businesses (SMBs) at affordable price.
The company said in a press statement that Nutanix Xpress is so simple that a single IT professional can install and manage an organisation’s entire IT infrastructure.
A medium-sized business, such as a regional manufacturer or law firm, typically has a small team of IT generalists responsible for all technology services within their company, including managing the disparate, specialized and complex technologies around virtualization, server, storage and backup infrastructure. The team’s IT director struggles to drive the business forward when faced with balancing flat budgets and critical infrastructure challenges.
In order to close the technology gap, Nutanix said, it has introduced Xpress for small and medium businesses, which provides:
- All-in-one solution - A complete hyperconverged offering that natively integrates server, storage and virtualization and radically simplifies the infrastructure stack in a single, space-saving platform that can power 5 to 500 virtual machines (VMs) with proven performance and reliability so IT generalists who wear multiple hats can easily support all infrastructure needs
-Plug and Play - All software factory pre-installed and ready to run nearly any virtualized application for small and medium businesses in less than 60 minutes
- Built-in virtualization: Built-in Nutanix AHV hypervisor and powerful VM management eliminates expensive virtualization licensing costs - no additional software components to install and manage
- Future-proof: Easy data backup to public cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, to deliver a practical cloud strategy
- Three year support: Award-winning support from Nutanix technical teams and the Nutanix NEXT community of IT experts
“Xpress is the next step in the company’s long-term strategy to bring the benefits of hyperconvergence to businesses of all sizes,” said Raja Mukhopadhyay, VP of product management, Nutanix.
“Xpress is a new Nutanix product line with a dedicated technology roadmap. In support of this new initiative, Nutanix is building new channel go-to-market strategies, developing additional training and augmenting its world-class support organization.”
Nutanix Xpress will be available via all worldwide Nutanix authorized resellers and distributors in July 2016. Xpress-based solutions will be made available by Nutanix OEM partners such as Lenovo. Final customer pricing will be as low as Baht 960,000, and will include access to Nutanix support tailored to the needs of SMBs.
