Nutanix has announced new capabilities in the Nutanix Cloud Platform that make it easier for customers to simplify data management, and optimise database and big data workload performance for the most critical applications. The Nutanix Cloud Platform will deliver unstructured data layering from on-premises to cloud, up to a 2x storage performance increase for database workloads and 3x for big data workloads without requiring complex reconfiguration, as well as Nutanix Data Lens, a new unstructured data governance service. In addition, database service Nutanix Era will deliver one-click storage scaling and rich role based access control for database management across hybrid multicloud environments.
“Customers require a variety of ways to store data - both structured and unstructured - and are looking for ways to simplify management without needing to rely on different vendors to do so,” said Rajiv Mirani, Chief Technology Officer at Nutanix. “The new features in the Nutanix Cloud Platform extend our data centric innovation to high performance applications to deliver a unified platform with comprehensive data services for all workloads and all variety of data.”
Increased Performance for Databases and Big Data Workloads
Customers wanting to modernise their IT infrastructure and run large scale databases will be able to easily do so on this Cloud platform, without requiring complex changes in their databases’ storage configuration, resulting in up to a 2x performance increase. Customers will also be able to benefit from lower storage latency by taking advantage of hardware advances such as Intel Optane technology combined with Nutanix’s preferential data placement.
In addition, Nutanix is making it vastly simpler to run data analytics workloads, including Hadoop and SAS Grid workloads. A new replication factor storage mode in the Nutanix platform results in up to 3x faster data processing while reducing costs. Finally, Nutanix Objects, the company’s S3 compatible object storage solution, supports high-performance petabyte-scale storage for building data lakes. Customers working with modern analytics applications, such as Apache Spark, will benefit from dramatically increased query and large batch processing performance with S3 Select and optimized S3A support.
“Indian businesses are dealing with more data than ever. A rise in remote work and digital transactions, as well as evolving data regulation, policies and compliance requirements, are driving a need to ensure data is managed efficiently, “ said Balakrishnan Anantharaman, MD, Sales – India, Nutanix. “Organisations like RBL Bank are simplifying the database management through automation, with the help of Nutanix Era, to provision, manage, refresh and restore their databases in a single click.”
“Enterprises are looking for ways to more efficiently and securely manage the rapid growth of size, velocity, and variety of data, as well as simplify the operations across on-premises and cloud,” said Eric Burgener, Research VP, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group at IDC. “Nutanix is taking important steps to deliver comprehensive data services across both structured and unstructured data on a single platform with a common management interface that stretches across on-premises and cloud.”
