The Ministry of Defense of Israel and Nutanix

Achieve scalable, secure growth in the Nimbus project through a cloud-based framework


How Nutanix can help you meet your goals

The Nimbus project brings together the expertise of some of Israel’s most essential public bodies – with your cloud strategy the compass for organising a framework that serves each department. The requirement, then, is for a cloud infrastructure that is scalable – capable of adapting to new needs and services and accessible to every employee and stakeholders that needs it – but also secured to the highest standard. Like the ecosystem of departments using it, then, the solution requires a number of solutions working in tandem. That’s where Nutanix can help. 

Discover how, with our market-leading private and hybrid cloud infrastructure, the Ministry of Defense of Israel can progress with the latest stages of your Nimbus project – delivering a cloud-based framework for scalable, secure growth.

Why Nutanix for the Ministry of Defense of Israel

We’d like to help the Ministry of Defense of Israel advance the government’s cloud strategy for scalable, secure growth. Here’s how Nutanix can act as a trusted advisor and partner to each of your key stakeholders.

Intelligence for Ministry of Defense of Israel 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, Ministry of Defense of Israel IT leaders can connect intelligence from all over the business – with OPEX service models and zero trust security.

Freedom for Ministry of Defense of Israel 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 Ministry of Defense of Israel 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 Ministry of Defense of Israel 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, Ministry of Defense of Israel 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.

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.
  • Lower hardware footprint, power consumption and cooling needs to reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions.
  • Stay protected with built-in security capabilities like application-centric security policy, network security, self-healing mechanism and data protection and encryption.
  • 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.
