Why Nutanix for CGI

We’d like to help CGI balance reliability with the flexibility to strengthen your customer relationships. Here’s how Nutanix can act as a trusted advisor and partner to each of your key stakeholders.

Intelligence for CGI IT leaders

You can see the insights spread across your clouds. All that’s missing is a path between them. Your existing consumption model might be making it too expensive to scale or it could be that increased complexity would make you a target for cyberattacks. But with Nutanix, CGI IT leaders can connect intelligence from all over the business – with OPEX service models and zero trust security.

Freedom for CGI managers

Much of your team’s time is spent keeping the IT running, scaled and secured. But with so many technologies, admin tools and vendors involved, it’s a task fraught with complexity and risk. Allow Nutanix to free up time to focus more on growth – without getting locked in to legacy infrastructure. See how we can help CGI managers work with the tools of their choice to deliver the services and experiences customers are calling for. There’s also potential for attracting and retaining employees – incentivised by access to emerging technologies and resources.

Inspiration for CGI IT administrators

You’re not the only one who sees more promise in operating an on-premises cloud-like experience – you’re just in the best position to make it happen. With Nutanix, CGI IT administrators will find there’s plenty more potential to unlock their talent in their role and beyond. An intuitive interface relieves the burden of administration by providing a single pane of glass, while automation frees experts from routine or time-consuming tasks – allowing tech specialists to dedicate more skill and energy to activities that will generate real business value.

Our vision for the strongest partnership position for CGI

Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is the foundation for your private cloud. Build on your existing hyperconverged infrastructure to enable endless success with an agile, cost-efficient and incredibly powerful private cloud-like environment – and get everything you need to grow.

  • Get the freedom and availability to adapt and scale your business seamlessly to new demands.
  • Easily move applications and services, add new clusters and expand IT support to grow as you go.
  • Take complete control of your architecture with self-service access for admins and standardise operations to free up staff time from admin tasks.
  • Reduce cloud costs and raise ROI by shifting workloads to one private, hyperconverged cloud platform on an OPEX model.
  • Improve energy efficiency and reduce power consumption and cooling with a software-defined architecture that merges compute and storage using common server nodes. Fewer components lead to easier hosting, which can help meet performance and governance needs, energy costs and carbon targets. This on top of the reduced total cost of ownership.
  • Stay protected with built-in security capabilities like application-centric security policy, network security, self-healing mechanism and data protection and encryption.

Nutanix Unified Storage

Nutanix Unified Storage builds resilience by structuring data in a simple, single data storage platform that offers end-to-end visibility and best-in-class security.

  • Adopt and automate easily. Deploy the Nutanix Cloud Platform and start using NUS straight away. Update in a single click, automate cybersecurity and compliance and work with existing vendors as normal.
  • See business value fast. Flexible, low-commitment licensing works on a pay-per-use basis, whether on-premises or in the cloud. And by storing data in a single, user-friendly platform, they’re able to put it to intelligent use more often.
  • Maintain continuity no matter what. Limit the strain of disparate legacy systems with data management united in a single-pane interface. Add compute and capacity without compromising performance.

So, during a cyberattack, you can immediately isolate the threat, cut off the spread and prevent damage.

  • Advanced network and app security
  • Streamlined security operations
  • Integrated security landscape
  • More visibility, simplicity and speed in policy creation
  • Automated regulatory compliance

  • Expand on demand. NC2 can scale in mere minutes – whether you’re bursting for seasonal peaks, testing new capabilities, or handling node availability delays.
