With these developments, Nutanix can accelerate the delivery of an enterprise cloud platform that rivals the agility, automation and consumer-grade simplicity of the public cloud but with the control, security and attractive long-term economics of on-premises infrastructure. These additions will enable Nutanix to pioneer new solutions for storage-class memory systems, enhance its Application Mobility Fabric (AMF) with cross-cloud workload migration and bring cloud-inspired orchestration and workflow automation to its Prism management software.
Nutanix and PernixData share an architectural design philosophy that next-generation data centre fabrics must keep data and applications close in order to drive the fastest possible performance and to deliver flexible, cost-effective infrastructure scaling. The two companies plan to develop an advanced data stack to replace traditional storage silos and high-latency networks with newer storage-class memory and advanced interconnects. The new server and storage roadmap will result in a reimagined data fabric for post-flash enterprise computing.
The combined teams will also focus on improving workload mobility across virtual and cloud environments. Planned enhancements to Nutanix AMF will deliver the flexibility to run any application in any environment, without business-critical data being held hostage to a legacy infrastructure.
“PernixData software has helped hundreds of customers virtualise their applications without compromising performance and visibility,” said Poojan Kumar, CEO and co-founder, PernixData. “With highly aligned cultures, ambition and talent, we are genuinely excited to join the Nutanix team. And, with our common devotion to 100% software-driven solutions, (we) will look forward to helping customers accelerate their journey to the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform.”
Calm.io and Nutanix plan to bring together clouds, platforms and people, to be displayed on a single screen. The Calm.io and Nutanix teams will work to enable customers to pick the right cloud for each application. Nutanix plans to add cloud automation and management capabilities to its existing software portfolio to deliver application and service orchestration, runtime lifecycle management, policy-based governance, better reporting and auditing services to support all application environments - virtual machines, containers and microservices.
“We have shared a similar vision as Nutanix since day one - data centre infrastructure must be fully automated, simple to deploy and easy-to-use,” said Aaditya Sood, Calm.io CEO and founder, “We are excited to join the Nutanix team to work together to eliminate the daunting complexity of legacy data centres by taking a radical, application-centric view of IT infrastructure.”
Said Dheeraj Pandey, Founder, CEO and Chairman, Nutanix: “PernixData and Calm.io both have exceptional technology, solid engineering teams, and visionary leaders with the ‘Founder’s Mentality’; they have dreamt big and persevered against great odds to build phenomenal products. We are honoured to welcome them into the Nutanix family, and build the next generation of innovative products and truly helping our customers realise the vision of the enterprise cloud.”
PernixData and Calm.io customers can expect further communication in the following weeks.
