10. Nutanix™ Pioneered
Hyperconverged
Infrastructure.
Hyperconverged Infrastructure natively combines x86-based compute
and storage resources with intelligent software to create flexible building
blocks that replace legacy infrastructure consisting of separate servers,
storage networks and storage arrays.
While hyperconvergence is not an end point in itself, it is the fundamental
building block for the ultimate destination of the Enterprise Cloud Platform.

11. Nutanix™ Pioneered
the Enterprise Cloud
Platform.
©2016 Nutanix, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Nutanix™ pioneered the concept of hyperconverged infrastructure. However, where
other vendors view that as the destination, Nutanix™ sees hyperconverged infrastructure
as simply a stepping stone on the road to delivering a complete Enterprise Cloud Platform.
Nutanix’s ultimate journey is to make infrastructure invisible and enable customers to
focus on the applications and services that power their business.
Providing an Enterprise Cloud Platform means removing the technological barriers
that force customers to choose between on-premise and public cloud deployments,
and Nutanix™ enables Cisco UCS® customers to span both.
Therefore, the choice of where compute and where data reside ultimately becomes
simply a business decision that can be dialed back and forth.
