HYBRID CLOUD
CSI powercloud for x86.
Run Windows or Linux on a hyperconverged x86 platform—enterprise performance with cloud-style economics.
Built for Hybrid Cloud Workloads.
Working with Nutanix, CSI operates a private cloud platform for x86 systems running Windows or Linux. This means enterprises can leverage the considerable advantages of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) resources with a pay-for-use operational cost model.
Hybrid Cloud with HCI.
While hyperscale public clouds like Azure or AWS offer impressive capabilities, they aren’t the perfect fit for every workload.
Some applications demand specialised infrastructure, heightened security, or strict compliance measures that these clouds can’t always provide. A cloud-smart strategy focuses on optimising IT infrastructure and putting workloads where they can deliver their greatest value and agility.
Hyperconverged infrastructure combines common data centre hardware using locally attached storage resources. Intelligent software creates flexible building blocks that replace legacy infrastructure consisting of separate servers, storage networks, and storage arrays.
CSI delivers the power of simplicity and allows IT to manage applications, data, and security across data centres and multi-cloud environments.
Built on Nutanix.
Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure converges the entire data centre stack, including compute, storage, storage networking, and virtualisation and is at the core of creating a hyperconverged infrastructure environment.
Powercloud for x86
Flexibility and Efficiency.
Control over data, security, and compliance is particularly important for industries with stringent regulatory requirements. Efforts to differentiate in competitive markets also lead organisations to look for ways to customise, meet specific workload demands and integration with existing IT infrastructure.
By leveraging private cloud or on-premises x86 platforms, businesses can optimise performance, reduce latency, and ensure a more agile and responsive IT environment, ultimately driving innovation and operational excellence.
Combining Enterprise and Cloud Features for x86.
CSI harnesses the power of HCI to effortlessly manage workloads in private clouds or on-premises with the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.
The CSI PowerCloud for x86 powered by Nutanix offers:
- Virtualisation with a choice of hypervisor
- Enterprise-grade data services
- Consolidated storage
- Data protection and disaster recovery
- Integrated security
- Virtual networking
Why You Need Hypervisor Choice.
Offering of multiple hypervisors is significant in light of Broadcom’s recent acquisition of VMware which is reshaping the landscape of enterprise IT.
A choice of hypervisors ensures that businesses can maintain flexibility and avoid vendor lock-in, which is crucial during such industry shifts.
With Nutanix, CSI can offer enterprises the flexibility to choose from a variety of hypervisors that best align with existing infrastructure, operational preferences, and specific workload requirements. Hypervisors include Nutanix AHV, Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESXi.
Sustainability While Maintaining Performance.
Hyperconverged infrastructure like Nutanix leads with efficient use of resources and reduced energy consumption ↓
By integrating compute, storage, and networking into a single, compact solution, HCI minimises the physical footprint of data centres. This consolidation leads to lower power and cooling requirements, significantly decreasing overall energy usage. Additionally, HCI systems simplify management and scalability, reducing the need for frequent hardware replacements and thereby cutting down on electronic waste.
IT Transformation.
Combining enterprise-level performance with the simplification and reduced total cost of ownership, this platform offers a superior foundation for IT transformation. CSI and Nutanix eliminate complexity while delivering consistent performance, resulting in a more agile, scalable, and ultimately more effective environment.
