Intel Server with Nutanix Enterprise HCI Software

Nutanix Hyper converged infrastructure – HCI

Hyperconverged infrastructure streamlines the deployment, management and scaling of data centre resources by combining server and storage resources with intelligent software. It breaks down the legacy storage silo of a 3-tier infrastructure to reduce complexity to give superior performance and resilience. The Nutanix platform is a complete IT infrastructure that integrates all compute, storage, virtualisation, and networking resources to run any application.

Key features:

It is easy to deploy, maintain, provides a great experience that is simple to use
Allows effortless movement of apps and data between public, private, and edge clouds for a true hybrid cloud experience
Compatible with VMware ESX, Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V
Helps modernise your data centre
Run apps and workloads on a single platform
Dramatically simplifies IT Operations which leads to a dramatic reduction of the TCO in the data centre by up to 60%
Allows IT to optimise public cloud spend

Trusted Intel Hardware Certified by Nutanix™
Together, Nutanix™ and Intel have developed fully validated and certified Intel® Data Center Blocks (DCBs) for the HCI market. The result of this collaboration enables you to speed up your path to market, grow your business with new revenue streams, and deliver peace of mind to your customers with technology and support from industry leaders. Intel Data Center Blocks for Nutanix™ Enterprise Cloud are available as configure-to-order systems that include processors, server boards, chassis, power supply, storage, networking, and memory that have been validated to work together. Value-added resellers (VARs) and system integrators (SIs) add Nutanix™ Enterprise Cloud OS software to provide a fast route for building on-premise clouds.

Differentiated Systems with Technology Leadership Intel®

DCB for Nutanix™ Enterprise Cloud is configurable, starting with two base server configurations:

2U 4-node system based on the Intel® Compute Module HNS2600BP family
2U 1-node system based on the Intel® Server Board S2600WF family

The advanced thermal design of Intel’s 2U 4-node DCB allows for high compute density, including options for more powerful CPUs that deliver more performance in a 2U space and at a lower hardware cost compared to four separate 1U or 2U systems. This makes an Intel Data Center Block based on the Intel Compute Module HNS2600BP an excellent choice for virtualised systems. Intel’s 2U 1-node DCB, based on the Intel Server Board S2600WF, is architected for up to 24 high-performance flash storage devices, with balanced input and output operations. Greater throughput and lower latency allow for faster access to large datasets, which is desirable for enterprise-class workloads.

Nutanix-certified Intel Data Center Blocks are available with a range of configurations for a fast, simple, risk-free selection to fit different business use cases—including enterprise applications, server virtualisation, Virtualised Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), databases, remote office branch office (ROBO), and more. The platforms allow for customisation of Intel^® Xeon^® Processors, Intel® Optane™ Technology, Intel® Optane™ SSD’s, Storage and Networking. To find out more please request a callback.

Intel Optane Technology

Intel^® Optane™ SSDs are available on Nutanix appliances and OEM hardware supporting the Nutanix software stack. Intel^® Optane™ SSDs offer the exceptional combination of low latency, high endurance and consistent responsiveness – even under heavy loads. Unlike NAND, Intel Optane SSDs can read and write simultaneously. This makes Intel Optane technology unique: memory-like performance with NAND-like persistence, ideal for demanding storage environments.
