Faced with a tough economic and geostrategic environment, Thales has its sights set on significant growth – in 2024 and the years ahead. You’ve already committed more than €1 billion and 28,000 employees to the challenge of innovation. And the key? Agility. Not just across your core markets – defense and security, aerospace and digital identity and security – but in your emerging markets too – in optimising big data management and expanding the use of automation and virtual tools. These are the kinds of ambitious objectives Nutanix can help you achieve.
Discover how, with Nutanix’s private and hybrid cloud expertise, plus our databases-as-a-service, desktop virtualisation and cloud-native workload deployment at scale, you can imbue all your operations with the agility required to achieve even your most ambitious objectives.
Our recommendations for Thales IT leaders
Multiple, disparate systems make it difficult to harness the full power of your infrastructure. What you need is the coherent link across your IT system and its components – whether on-premises or in the cloud. The challenge? Scaling your existing consumption model might be too expensive and complex and leave you vulnerable to the risk of cyberattacks. But with Nutanix, Thales IT leaders can combine simplicity and operational efficiency, with a clear overview of the infrastructure at every level, while benefiting from a Zero Trust security system. Our subscription-based service model also adds flexibility to your resource consumption model.
Giving Thales managers peace of mind
Much of your team’s time is dominated by keeping IT systems running, scaled and secure. But with so many technologies, admin tools and providers involved, it’s a task fraught with complexity and risk. Let Nutanix free up your time to focus on projects that help the company grow. See how we can help you work with innovative solutions to deliver the experience and services your users expect. There’s also potential for helping retain existing teams and attracting new talent, by giving them the opportunity to work with new technologies that offer a cloud-inspired experience.
Cutting-edge technologies for Thales IT administrators
Many companies want to offer an on-premises cloud-like user experience. But few are able to meet this challenge. Thanks to Nutanix, Thales IT administrators will find new options available. Our intuitive interface simplifies system administration by providing a single console, while automation relieves experts of routine or time-consuming tasks, allowing tech specialists to devote more skill and energy to activities that will generate real business value.
