Doing more with Less...

In recent news with the Post Office, it is clear to see how important Applications and Databases are to organisations. The ramifications of what can happen when your organisations lifeblood is disrupted can be catastrophic.

With the example of the Post Office, it shows it can have dire consequences.

Whether we like to admit it or not; in the Second Age of Digital Transformation, Data is the most important asset to organisations. So when it comes to your Applications and Databases, its more important than ever to safeguard these.

Infrastructure resilience is the first line of defence for your data and applications

How and where do you provision them?

How to do you back them up??

What does the stack look like?

In an ideal world, we would have technology working for us, not the other way around.

With legacy applications this can prove to be tricky.

At XMA Our mission is to select the best technology solution, solving business challenges, allowing our customers to grow and transform.

The ability to predict and resolve failures and software issues

The Power of Secure Automation

Be assured that your end users can access what they need to.

That you can keep your network secure from unauthorised access .

You can manage all this, and all your network devices, centrally

So What is out there help tackle this?

Nutanix is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) pioneer, combining compute, storage, virtualization, data protection, and more in a single infrastructure stack. Nutanix Enterprise Cloud replaces complex and expensive IT infrastructure with simple appliances that scale out one node at a time.

Based on a foundation of resilient infrastructure, Nutanix provides native data protection and DR tools to meet diverse needs for backup, replication, and DR. Providing a higher level of business continuity for important applications while reducing costs

Nutanix makes infrastructure invisible, elevating IT to focus on the applications and services that power their business. The Nutanix enterprise cloud platform leverages web-scale engineering and consumer-grade design to natively converge compute, virtualization, and storage into a resilient, software-defined solution with rich machine intelligence. The result is predictable performance, cloud-like infrastructure consumption, robust security, and seamless application mobility for a broad range of enterprise applications

Software innovation is what makes Nutanix systems unique. Nutanix software has two components: Acropolis and Prism. Nutanix Acropolis provides a distributed data plane with enterprise storage and virtualization services and the ability for applications to move seamlessly across hypervisors and cloud providers. Nutanix Prism provides a distributed management plane that uses advanced data analytics and heuristics to simplify and streamline common workflows, eliminating the need for separate management solutions for servers, storage networks, storage, virtualization, data protection, and DR

Nutanix Enterprise Cloud integrates a variety of data services that can eliminate the need for separate NAS, SAN, and object storage hardware and further simplify your IT stack

Nutanix software distributes all operating functions—including data protection—across a cluster. System resilience and overall performance increase as servers are added to a cluster, keeping pace with application and data growth.

Because a Nutanix system provides backup and DR without requiring separate dedicated hardware or appliances, Nutanix Enterprise Cloud greatly simplifies your infrastructure, eliminates bottlenecks, streamlines management and reduces costs.

Better Data Protection & Recovery

With numbers like this is, its hard to not explore the benefits of Nutanix and how they can simplify your technology stack, reduce your costs and improve your data protection.

One of the things that differentiates Nutanix from conventional infrastructure with separately sourced servers, storage, and storage networks is that the platform is fault resistant, with no single points of failure and no bottlenecks.

The system uses a shared-nothing architecture with data, metadata, and services distributed across all nodes within a cluster. It is designed to detect, isolate, and recover from failures; survive system hardware, software, and hypervisor issues; and maintain data availability.?

Regular backups are the second line of defence in data protection and the only protection against user, administrator, and application errors that result in data being deleted or corrupted

Nutanix Enterprise Cloud provides three levels of backup and recovery. On-cluster snapshots provide the first line of defence and the fastest and most convenient recovery from application problems or user errors.

Remote backup lets you replicate snapshots to a remote location for longer-term retention and site-level resilience. Using these capabilities, you can easily implement disk-to-disk, disk-to-cloud, or disk-to-disk-to-cloud backup models and tailor the number of backups you retain to your exact needs

Nutanix allows you to use public cloud services, such as AWS, as a backup destination for all types of workloads, making the public cloud a logical extension of your own datacentre(s)

Not to mention, that Nutanix allows the integration of other 3rd Parties such as Rubrik and Veeam to really add a punch to your DR and Back-Up strategy.

Want to make your IT:

1. Simple
2. Scalable
3. Highly Secure
4. Resilient
5. Data Driven

Then it may be worth having a look at Nutanix

Partnership Overview

We have worked in partnership with Nutanix since 2015, just 1 year after Nutanix opened their first UK office and have delivered Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) solutions based on Nutanix technology to our customers throughout that time. This experience coupled with the extensive technical capability and thought leadership our people provide means that when you work with XMA and Nutanix you can be sure you are in safe hands.

XMA were awarded as Nutanix’s Global Momentum Partner of the year 2020. XMA were recognised for continually delivering Nutanix solutions at the highest levels of service and achieving success with their customers.

“ We’re thrilled to have honoured XMA at Partner Xchange this year for their continued success with our customers”
