Today, we're announcing the Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) 1.5 release, our next-generation cloud management platform. Designed to streamline hybrid multicloud operations, NCM 1.5 introduces a simplified user experience, smarter troubleshooting tools, and a more stable, modernized platform.
NCM 1.5 addresses three key areas of improvement for IT teams:
Simplified User Experience
NCM 1.5 consolidates Intelligent Operations capabilities into a single interface, reducing the complexity of managing cloud environments. The release also introduces consistent enablement workflows across all NCM modules (Intelligent Operations, Self-Service, Cost Governance, and Security Central), making setup and administration easier than with prior versions.
Better Visibility for Troubleshooting
We're introducing two new features to enhance infrastructure visibility: Inventory Browser and Signals.
Inventory Browser provides a unified view across Nutanix and vCenter domains.
Signals centralizes alerts, events, and audits in one location. It can configure intelligent/smart alerts to reduce alert noise and detect issues proactively before they cause outages. Signals can also act as a trigger for the Nutanix X-Play low-code automation tool to mitigate issues automatically.
Together, these features empower teams to troubleshoot issues more efficiently by providing contextual information when issues occur.
Enhanced Platform Stability
NCM 1.5 represents an architectural advancement for Nutanix Cloud Manager with Intelligent Operations and Self-Service now decoupled from the Prism Central (PC) multicluster manager. By operating on a Kubernetes® platform, NCM and PC function as independent failure domains, improving overall system reliability.
This release is the foundation for our future cloud management capabilities. While we'll continue supporting the legacy platform, new features will be delivered through this modernized version of NCM.
Availability
NCM 1.5 is available now as a limited release for organizations that meet specific qualification criteria. To learn about upgrading and how NCM 1.5 can help your IT team manage hybrid multicloud environments more effectively, contact your Nutanix Account Representative.
