We all want choice in the decisions we have to make. From the cars we drive, to the personal care products we choose, choice puts us in control to match our specific needs or get the outcome we desire. Having options and the ability to recalibrate as changes come about should be available to us in all aspects of life, from personal to business. However, making changes in business is often daunting and challenging, as it requires budget, approvals from various stakeholders, and often a long change process which typically slows down development and time to market.
Business differentiation relies on faster time to market, on application delivery and mobility.
The public cloud was a big catalyst for new business models and efficiencies. But most apps still canโt easily be refactored for the cloud or need to stay physically close to the data and database for data gravity, data latency and other application dependencies. In most industries, thereโs the added compliance and regulatory requirements that dictate how confidential data is stored and accessed.
Organizations want and need choice in their consumption models and today, as-a-service is fast becoming the preferred model. For the apps that need to stay on-premises, Nutanix and HPE deliver the cloud-style services expected from public clouds, but with the controls available in on-premises infrastructure.
A partnership founded on industry leadership
Since its inception three years ago, the Nutanix and HPE partnership has delivered solutions with flexibility and choice in how customers want to procure and consume across capital and operational expense models, and continue to invest in and expand on that strategic partnership. By bringing together two industry leaders, weโve delivered competitive advantage to thousands of customers across key use cases, markets and verticals. This joint portfolio includes a high-performance HPE ProLiant DX server family with a broad set of configurations that support a wide range of workloads, and HPE GreenLake with Nutanix, for consumption-based cloud services.
Outcome-based IT solutions
One such customer is an international retailer that leveraged the outcome-based IT services from HPE GreenLake, running Nutanix Database Service, for a more flexible and distributed database platform to reign in the complexity of their database sprawl. Their regionally deployed database infrastructure historically relied on a traditional three-tier architecture, with bloated operational costs and bogged-down deployment times. They were looking for a platform that could match the public cloudโs flexibility while retaining the control and compliance benefits that come with on-premises infrastructure.
With our joint solution, they were able to streamline their operations through a combination of right-sized infrastructure as well as automation - with buffered capacity scaling, metered consumption and monthly billing, and a self-service portal. Their developers now have more freedom and control, by being able to self-serve the deployment of their databases in around 2 hours, without waiting for a new IT project or specialists. To learn more about this use case, make sure to attend our Breakout Session on Day 1 of HPE Discover, Digital Transformation Requires Database Transformation: Reimagine Databases with Nutanix.
Similar to database sprawl, massive and unpredictable data growth brings massive complexity, and customers need a solution that allows them to consolidate a wide variety of data types on the same platform. Nutanix delivers with unified data services, scaling non-disruptively even as an organization's data grows. As a result, customers can serve data across multiple protocols for any workload, delivering differentiation and business value in unifying and simplifying their storage.
