Nutanix Xtreme

In September, 2015 Citrix together with Nutanix company which is engaged in corporate calculations presented the solution in the field of virtualization of applications and desktops. It integrates Nutanix infrastructure created based on Nutanix Acropolis hypervisor, and Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop.

At the first stage of the project the computing Nutanix Xtreme platform at which Acropolis hypervisor worked was checked within the affiliate program of Citrix Ready for working capacity with XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6 and also NetScaler and ShareFile. This inspection which was carried out in only two months after release on the market of a hypervisor Acropolis provides to joint customers of two companies more wide choice of solutions for satisfaction of their unique requirements. The hypervisor, together with the virtualization of consumer level integrated by control function, reduces the total costs of infrastructure and accelerates deployment of virtual desktops. The solution Nutanix Acropolis optimizes design of data processing centers due to elimination of a hypervisor as separately purchased and separately managed storage in the general infrastructure stack.

The solutions XenApp and XenDesktop provide functionality on ensuring remote access to virtual desktops and applications when using different devices and network connections. XenApp and XenDesktop provide to customers flexibility and security that is necessary at transfer of business to mobile technologies. Thanks to implementation of the joint solution customers will be able:

• Unroll the full solution for a virtual desktop in few hours;
• Scale VDI infrastructure from small pilot projects to large production environments in about tens of thousands of users;
• Reduce the total costs of infrastructure due to failure from need to purchase and manage separate software for virtualization.

"Due to integration at the level of technologies of virtualization the solution Nutanix protects IT specialists from the excess complexity connected with hypervisors in order that they could concentrate the efforts on management of environments of delivery of applications and desktops. Besides, it can simplify implementation of virtual networks with NetScaler VPX and also providing functionality of corporate file sharing with ShareFile which are also supported by Acropolis, - Halyapin Sergey, the chief engineer of the Russian representative office of Citrix comments on news. — This joint solution is a big step within our cooperation directed to the offer to our customers it is more than opportunities for the choice".
