Data protection

The Nutanix Software offers a natively integrated solution for data protection and continuous

availability at VM granularity. It gives administrators an affordable range of options to meet the

recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) for different applications.

Unlimited local backups using VM-centric snapshots and integrated workflows delivering

RPO in minutes.

Natively integrated solution for disaster recovery enables simple VM-centric backup,

recovery and replication with application-level consistency.

Built-in Cloud Connect hybrid cloud technology enables seamless backup of data to public

cloud services.

Metro availability feature provides continuous availability of data across different sites during

planned maintenance or disasters through synchronous replication.

Support for Microsoft Volume Shadow Services (VSS), VMware vStorage API for Data

Protection (VADP), and seamless integration with third-party backup providers.

Infrastructure resilience

The platform for the HX Series appliances is fault resistant, with no single point of failure and no

bottlenecks. The system uses a shared-nothing architecture, where all data, metadata and services

are distributed to all nodes within the cluster, and is built to detect, isolate and recover from failures

anywhere in the system. Lenovo hyperconverged appliances deliver always-on operation, and can

survive system hardware, software and hypervisor issues and maintain 100% availability to

applications and data.

Intelligent data placement in different physical failure domains, or availability domains, (for

example, separate racks or power sources) delivers greater fault tolerance.

Data and metadata replicated across multiple nodes provide user-defined resilience against

hardware failures.

Multiple copies of data ensure 100% data availability in the event that a Nutanix controller

VM is unavailable due to failure or maintenance.

Automatic integrity checks during reads and silent at-rest error detection for data

consistency.

Management and analytics

The platform for the HX Series appliances marries web-scale capabilities with an intuitive user-

centric management experience to simplify every aspect of the IT infrastructure lifecycle. Nutanix

Prism provides a single pane of glass to monitor and control one or more Nutanix clusters, with

simplified workflows and rich automation for common administrative tasks.

Elegantly simple management framework with intuitive workflows delivers radical simplicity

and powerful control to IT management.

Single pane of glass delivers centralized visibility and management of multiple Nutanix

clusters across the world.

Rich automation and intuitive workflows simplify deployment, provisioning, orchestration and

maintenance of Nutanix clusters.

End-to-end visibility of VMs, nodes and disks and the ability to visually diagnose potential

issues gives administrators total infrastructure control.

Programmatic control of every aspect of cluster management, including deployment,

upgrades, data protection, and performance management enables powerful automation.

Streamlined management for hypervisor and virtual machines on Nutanix.
