Tight integration with the HCI stack eliminates complexity while ensuring intuitive access to networking and storage functionality like microsegmentation and storage snapshots without integration complexities.
One unified control plane simplifies management and administration.
Nutanix Cloud Manager features one unified control plane and interface to manage virtualization, hyperconverged infrastructure, virtual networking, security, and automation.
Nutanix AHV is seamlessly integrated with the Nutanix Cloud Platform.
AHV is native to the Nutanix stack of advanced technologies, requires no additional installation or integration, and features full-stack management from a single, intuitive
Full enterprise-grade virtualization capabilities
Ensure high availability for all workloads
Advanced virtualization features include VM live migration, dynamic scheduling, VM HA, and metro clustering.
Highly optimized utilization and performance
Memory overcommit, VM affinity, vNUMA, automated CPU compatibility, AHV turbo and an optimized storage stack.
Lifecycle management across the entire stack
Cloud infrastructure upgrades with one click. Start with firmware and then automate rolling full-stack upgrades.
Pre-integrated networking and storage
No additional configuration work is required.
Included in the Nutanix stack, AHV is easily up and running in a cluster deployment with no need to download additional documentation or advanced configurations.
Leverage AHV integration in the Nutanix stack
Nutanix supports multiple hypervisors while AHV enables microsegmentation, optimized storage paths, easy-to-manage virtual networking, and other native capabilities.
Fully Integrated Security
