Nutanix, an enterprise cloud computing provider, has announced Nutanix Beam, a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering that delivers multicloud governance to help manage corporate spending, security and regulatory compliance across nearly any cloud platform.
Beam is based on Nutanix’s recently-acquired Minjar Botmetric service, which is already used to manage more than US$1 billion of cloud spend across Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
According to Gartner, “Governance becomes incrementally more challenging as organisations deploy multicloud strategies, because they must govern not only the consumption of cloud by provider, but also consumption across cloud providers. The cloud providers offer on-demand, self-service resources with endless capacity, making it difficult for organisations to gain visibility into what is being consumed. Without visibility into consumption, it is impossible to govern and manage your environment*.”
Beam, the first SaaS offering from Nutanix, reduces complexity by providing customers with deep visibility and rich analytics detailing how they are using the public cloud. It also provides one-click recommendations based on machine intelligence so IT teams can immediately optimise their cloud spend and enhance their security posture for improved compliance across clouds.
“For us, integrity, security and compliance are of the utmost importance, especially across our multi-client, multi-technology environment with a large application landscape. It was becoming a nightmare to keep track of everything. That’s when we came across Nutanix Beam,” said Rustum Virani, Cloud Solution Architect Manager, ZS Associates.
“Beam is an excellent tool that provides a single pane of glass to see the state of our infrastructure, automate tasks, provide cost-saving recommendations and generate billing reports.”
Nutanix Beam customers better manage their multicloud deployments with:
Cost optimisation and cloud visibility
IT teams get full visibility into overall cloud costs. They can then optimise their spending by quickly identifying unused and underutilised resources, and select more size- and cost-appropriate cloud resources for each application
Centralised financial governance
Businesses get streamlined visibility into the entire cloud footprint so IT departments can track the consumption of cloud resources by department and group, make data-driven decisions balancing IT needs and cost constraints, and enforce policies based on allocated budgets
Continuous cloud security and regulatory compliance
Customers can define custom health check policies for compliance audits and proactively analyse cloud security operations, while real-time scans for cloud compliance identify risks and violations
“In the multi-cloud era, IT organisations need a unified, real-time view to all of their private, public and distributed clouds,” said Vijay Rayapati, GM, Engineering, Nutanix.
“Beam services help our customers optimise their cloud spend and manage compliance, putting them back in control of their IT assets. We’re so pleased to be a part of the Nutanix family and bring our Botmetric technology to Nutanix customers as Nutanix Beam.”
