What is Nutanix AHV?
Nutanix AHV is presented as a modern and secure virtualization platform that powers VMs and containers for applications and cloud-native workloads on-premises and in public clouds. Its tools and automated workflows simplify the day-to-day administration of VMs and containers. Open source at its core, Nutanix AHV extends advanced virtualization capabilities to modern hybrid cloud environments. It features a distributed systems core designed for the cloud to solve today’s complex enterprise IT challenges.
Overview
According to Nutanix, the hypervisor is the foundation of modern IT. Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers abstract applications from the underlying hardware so that they can be dynamically provisioned, upgraded, and managed at scale. This paradigm is central across both traditional enterprise IT as well as modern cloud-native applications, but until recently these two delivery models were siloed.
AHV brings these two worlds together, with an open-source foundation extended with advanced enterprise features, and integrated into an HCI framework with built-in storage and networking capabilities for a complete, seamless solution. With simple provisioning and management of VMs, containers, business-critical applications and cloud-native operations and workloads, AHV enables a consistent hybrid cloud operating model across datacenters, the edge, and public clouds.
Enterprise-grade Virtualization Capabilities
- Ensuring high availability for all workloads - Advanced virtualization features include VM live migration, dynamic scheduling, VM HA, and metro clustering.
- Highly optimized utilization and performance - Memory overcommit, VM affinity, vNUMA, automated CPU compatibility, AHV turbo and an optimized storage stack.
- Lifecycle management across the entire stack - Cloud infrastructure upgrades with one click. Start with firmware, and then automate rolling full-stack upgrades.

Nutanix - The one-stop shop for virtualization

- Easily managed

Nutanix for Always-On Computing
- In the 20 months we have had Nutanix, our VMs have always been available. That was the goal with this purchase.
- The peace of mind is incalculable. Automatic failover, total hardware redundancy, automatic VM provisioning--while it's not always easy to work with and causes headaches in other ways, the bottom line is we are always up and it fulfills its promise. While I cannot measure the ROI in dollars and cents, the reduction in stress is a significant ROI, and management is pleased, too.

Breathing new life into slow, aging systems....
- Zero-touch. Since the go live, I've only logged into Prism to check on things. Never had an issue - it's rock solid!
- The workloads we run on it run so much better, that our users are much more productive (and therefore it saves the company money)!
- Although it was a large investment, I really think this is going to pay off in less than 2 years!
