U.S. Navy: Powering Mission-Critical Medical Support with Nutanix

Mike Taylor, Hospital Ship Joint Task Director for the Military Sealift Command and the U.S. Navy, shares how the seamless migration from VMware to Nutanix aboard the USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort ensured zero downtime for critical healthcare systems. With built-in resiliency and DDIL-capable infrastructure, Nutanix enables rapid, autonomous activation of their 1,000-bed floating medical facilities—no central data center or cloud connection required.

Supporting global humanitarian efforts and real-world missions, these ships have completed 9 humanitarian deployments, 13 fleet exercises, and 5 operational missions. Nutanix helps ensure always-on performance, even in disconnected or degraded environments—keeping the mission moving, wherever the sea takes them.
