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.

Very good support, knowledgeable, effective, and easy to reach. Online my Nutanix support portal is good & easy. The dashboard provides easy access to Nutanix services, support, and tools. Case management is easy and straightforward. The Nutanix AOS device heartbeat is synced to the portal, so they can generate reports based on some pre-build or customized templates.

With the exception of one or two times, I have had great success with Nutanix support. Their response time is always within our support agreement, and their follow-up is very good.

Our first support ticket to Nutanix was responded to within 10 minutes of submission. That was kind of impressive. They have worldwide support so that when a support request is created, support is acknowledged in a relative short amount of time.

Nutanix [AOS] is a leader in the HCI industry and it becomes evident after deploying the software. The solution runs effortlessly and can scale seamlessly. We ran the Nutanix solution on Lenovo Servers and since Lenovo has a close working relationship with Nutanix, you can procure the Nutanix software directly from Lenovo as part of your Lenovo HCI solution. The advantage of going this route is that the hardware has been tested and verified by Lenovo that it is thus certified for Nutanix. The support is then also directly with Lenovo for both hardware and software.

Nutanix support is excellent. They are always willing to step in and help and have been very responsive to issues and requests we have as a company. We use a great deal of Nutanix and have built a great report of work with them allowing use to grow and a fast pace while maintaining a level of support that is beneficial to both companies. We continue to collaborate and work well with Nutanix.

The support is stunning. I had to call in in the middle of the night for a concerning issue and someone was available in minutes to help. He connected remotely to my computer and he explaining every move as he was fixing the issue. There is never a case where they won't be able to fix the problem. I have never seen support like this!

Without a doubt, there is no other company of Nutanix's size that has the speed of response and the quality of attention that Nutanix offers. Before the opening of a case of medium severity, an engineer is contacted in a matter of hours to solve the problem you have. If the problem is critical, in minutes they respond with the skills needed to solve the problems. Working with Nutanix really gives you peace of mind because you know you can always count on the support.
