As the app explosion accelerates, enterprises worldwide must respond and innovate quickly. According to IDC1, there will be 750 million new apps by 2026, more than in the past 40 years of computing. Given the pace, complexity and volume of apps, organizations in increasing numbers are deploying and operating containerized cloud-native apps for agility and operational efficiency.
Businesses today are under immense pressure to accelerate digital transformation by modernizing apps. But they face challenges in deploying and operating containerized apps at scale, often struggling with complex management, high costs and a lack of seamless integration across datacenters, edge locations and multiple cloud environments.
Then there is the rigidity of being locked into a single platform or cloud provider, which hampers your ability to efficiently move apps through their lifecycle and adapt to changing needs.
Nutanix offers a compelling solution for organizations looking to modernize their apps effectively and cost-efficiently. Our best-in-class Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) solution simplifies the deployment and operation of containerized apps at scale. This empowers organizations with rich data services that are integral to supporting digital initiatives.
The extraordinary versatility of NCP is evident in its built-in native Kubernetes® support, alongside compatibility with other leading container platforms such as SUSE Rancher, AWS EKS-A, and Red Hat OpenShift.
Nutanix also facilitates a multi-environment approach by supporting Microsoft Azure Arc Kubernetes services, which ensures that apps can be easily extended across datacenter, edge and public cloud infrastructures.
This flexibility allows for the seamless movement and management of apps throughout their lifecycle, liberating organizations from lock-in and fostering an environment of innovation and growth. By choosing Nutanix, customers can confidently modernize their apps, maximize their return on investment and lead through innovation.
