Unlock A More Powerful Multicloud Datacenter

The Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) 7.3 release strengthens the foundation that powers the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) solution with:

• Improved multicluster operations: New global dashboards, unified views, and simplified upgrades make it easier to manage large, distributed environments.
• Stronger disaster recovery: Enhanced replication, more granular RPO/RTO options, and streamlined failover workflows help protect mission-critical workloads.
• Performance and scale enhancements: Updates to storage and networking services unlock faster I/O, improved scalability, and better throughput for demanding applications.

Learn more about the enhancements delivered in NCI 7.3.

These improvements arrive alongside another major milestone. We’re excited to announce that Nutanix Cloud Platform now supports Intel’s latest generation of processor innovation: Intel® Xeon® 6 6700P/6500P processors, built on performance core (P-Core) architecture with Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel AMX) for AI acceleration.

This update marks the latest step in a long-standing partnership between Nutanix and Intel. Together, we’ve delivered solutions that optimize real-world cost and performance across hybrid multi-cloud deployments, solutions founded on deep integration work at the Nutanix and Intel Joint Innovation Lab, where new platforms are tested and tuned to meet the demands of enterprise workloads. 

New Processor Possibilities with Intel Xeon 6

Available with up to 86 cores per socket, customers preparing for their next refresh cycle can benefit from increased compute density that can directly enable a streamlined datacenter. For example, upgrading from 2nd Gen Xeon processors to Xeon 6 can support up to 5:1 server consolidation, potentially lowering server count and reducing TCO .1 

The Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI) solution’s support for Intel AMX simplifies and accelerates AI deployment across hybrid multicloud environments while providing the flexibility to tap into powerful on-CPU acceleration, opening up new possibilities for responsive AI inference capabilities within existing infrastructure, whether in the core data center, remote sites, or edge environments.

NCI 7.3 makes it easy for customers to harness the full performance potential of next-gen Intel hardware within an operational model that Nutanix customers trust, whether they’re scaling out, consolidating infrastructure, modernizing critical workloads, or exploring new approaches for AI inference workloads.

Intel Xeon 6 support is already available for two Nutanix certified OEM platforms, with support expanding to additional OEMs and the Nutanix NX appliance in the coming months.
