Why Nutanix for IG Group

We’d like to help IG Group build on your strategy for agile, adaptable digital experiences. Here’s how Nutanix can act as a trusted advisor and partner to each of your key stakeholders.

Intelligence for IG Group IT leaders

You can see the insights spread across your business. 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, IG Group IT leaders can connect intelligence from all over the business – with OPEX service models and zero trust security.

Freedom for IG Group 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 into legacy infrastructure. See how we can help IG Group 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 IG Group 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, IG Group 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 modern and secure private cloud for IG Group

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.
