Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) is a platform for software-defined compute, storage, and networking that makes it easy for organizations to efficiently manage applications and data across datacenter, edge, and cloud environments. It is designed to operate without the complexity or cost of traditional infrastructure.
Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure
The Foundation for Your Hybrid Cloud
Standardize on a powerful and secure hyperconverged infrastructure to deliver all applications and data at any scale, on any cloud.
A Modern Infrastructure Platform for Hybrid Cloud and Modern Apps
Power your business with advanced cloud technologies and simplify how you procure, deploy, and manage IT services.
VM-Centric Operations
Simplify day 2 operations with full-stack VM-Centric management so you can spend less time worrying about infrastructure.
Enterprise Resiliency
Protect your applications and data against hardware failures, disasters, and human error with always-on availability.
Freedom of Choice
Freedom to build your environment to meet your infrastructure needs, with flexible ecosystem partnerships, deployment options, and workload support.
AOS Storage
Consistently high performance
Accelerate your most demanding applications with consistent and predictable performance. Data locality maximizes the benefits of the latest hardware advances like NVMe and RDMA.
Foolproof resiliency
Data is protected and kept available with advanced distributed consistency algorithms that protect against everything from bit rot and hardware failures to entire site failure.
Unmatched flexibility
Storage can be sized precisely for your needs and expanded quickly and easily as needs grow. Storage policies are applied logically on a per-workload basis, instead of being tied to hardware.
Flexible and Open Compute
Hypervisor choice
Choose from the leading hypervisors, VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper‑V, or leverage the lightweight but powerful built-in hypervisor AHV.
Powerful integrated virtualization
AHV streamlines operations and simplifies automation. Powerful and lightweight, it is easy to learn and migrate to, and is optimized for high performance and reliability.
Cloud-native Kubernetes
Build and deploy cloud-native applications on intelligent distributed infrastructure and integrate with cloud compatible storage, all within the same platform.
Automated and Secure Networking
Microsegmentation
Prevent malware spread and reduce attack surfaces by limiting applications to only what’s needed, and keep things simple by leveraging machine learning to determine the right configuration.
Virtual networking
Securely and easily implement robust multi-tenancy in your environment, or stretch networks across clouds for seamless workload migration and failover.
Centralized network management
Manage networking configurations centrally and apply across your HCI environment with simple and robust virtual switch management.

Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure FAQs
NCI simplifies day 2 operations with full-stack, VM-Centric management so your team can spend less time worrying about infrastructure. It allows you to automate your environment to reduce time spent on repetitive manual tasks and view your full environment from a single console for holistic health monitoring.
The platform is designed to protect your applications and data from hardware failures, disasters, and human error with always-on availability. It uses a resilient distributed infrastructure to maintain availability during a hardware failure and includes integrated snapshots and replication to protect against a larger site failure or disaster.
No, NCI provides the freedom to build your environment to meet your infrastructure needs. You have the flexibility to choose your hypervisor, cloud, server, and storage vendor, and it supports a broad range of ISV applications.
Yes, NCI is optimized for both VMs and containers, which helps you modernize applications while still supporting legacy workloads. Containers running on NCI will run inside of VMs on our Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP). Customers also have the option to run containers on NKP outside of NCI if they wish to run outside of VMs.
