Nutanix Central On-Premises: Bringing Cloud Simplicity to Your Data Center

Balance the speed of the cloud with the need to keep data secure and compliant with global sovereignty regulations: This is a core challenge for modern enterprises. Enterprises today need a single, consistent way to manage all their infrastructure across private datacenters, public clouds, and at the edge.

This isn't just a goal; it's becoming a requirement, especially for those in highly regulated industries. Enterprises may need multiple cloud providers to meet local data sovereignty and regulatory requirements, creating inherent complexity. From its SaaS launch last year, Nutanix Central has transformed how enterprise businesses manage their Nutanix infrastructure across distributed hybrid cloud environments.

Today, we're announcing a new option that supports customer choice: Nutanix Central is now available as an on-premises deployment. This delivers on a key customer request, allowing organizations to deploy a powerful, unified management plane within their private datacenter - delivering enterprise-grade management, visibility, compliance, and control. This is a direct reflection of customer feedback and a powerful demonstration of the commitment of Nutanix to delivering solutions that address our customers' most critical business challenges.

What Nutanix Central Helps Achieve:

A True Single Pane of Glass for the Entire Enterprise

The Nutanix Central management console replaces multiple, siloed consoles with a unified pane of glass, giving IT administrators and cloud architects a holistic view of the entire Nutanix infrastructure, no matter where it's deployed. Teams can manage global Nutanix environments, monitor the health of each Prism Central console (PC) domain, track capacity utilization and alerts, and deploy applications from the Nutanix Marketplace.

With the on-premises deployment option, teams get the same centralized management experience as with the existing SaaS offering, while at the same time gaining an alternative deployment capability that can address different business considerations or different legal or regulatory requirements applicable to a given use case or geography.

"The biggest return on investment when using Nutanix Central is not necessarily monetary, but rather the time saved, reduced training requirements, and the ability to access and manage multiple sites and locations in one area. It has created efficiencies for different employees who can access what they need without visiting multiple websites." - Infra Admin at Wholesale Distributor, PeerSpot

Achieve Ultimate Data Sovereignty and Flexibility

Data sovereignty is more than a buzzword; it's a critical priority for global enterprises. Nutanix Central On-Premises can help customers address the needs of data sovereignty by running the management plane within an organization's own infrastructure.

This approach can help customers comply with strict data residency and regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, DORA, and NIS2, by providing choice and control over where management data resides.

Key Benefits of Nutanix Central On-Premises:

• Data Control: All management data remains within the specified region to align with local and regulatory compliance standards.

• Operational Control: Maintain authority over your infrastructure, so only the necessary teams have access.

• Simple Management: Centralize governance and alerts to optimize operations and efficiency.

• Cloud Flexibility: Hybrid environments can be managed consistently without dependence on a single cloud provider.

Nutanix Central On-Premises enables IT teams to operate with agility, visibility, and control across any cloud, any location.

Enterprise-Grade Governance

Nutanix Central delivers centralized management with flexible controls and strong security. The on-premises deployment gives IT teams control over their infrastructure, allowing for consistent governance across environments. Built-in Federated IAM and granular RBAC allows the IT team to ensure that only authorized users can access and manage resources across all registered domains.

Scale without complexity

With this GA release, Nutanix Central On-Premises now supports up to 25 Prism domains, empowering our largest global customers with increased control and visibility over their distributed Nutanix environments.

Simple deployment:

This provides a uniform and repeatable method for provisioning and managing the application, giving your IT teams a streamlined, straightforward experience. The process is designed to be intuitive and efficient, so you can get up and running quickly.

"I have seen measurable outcomes from using Nutanix Central, such as more efficient IT management. The ability to see multiple VMs at once and easily search and access them directly, regardless of their location, has been very beneficial for management and response." - Cloud Engineer, PeerSpot
