Nutanix and Bechtle - the solution for modern and flexible IT infrastructures.

de Tobias Fünffinger

IT departments today are faced with the task of modernising their IT infrastructures in order to keep pace with the fast-moving world. The collaboration between Nutanix and Bechtle offers a solution that enables companies to gradually migrate to a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and significantly expand their technical bandwidth. With HCI and the possibilities based on it, this solution goes beyond the provision of pure storage and computing power.

Nutanix: A versatile cloud platform.

Nutanix now offers a flexible platform that goes beyond the original ‘HCI’ concept. It supports companies in creating hybrid environments that cover both local and cloud-based applications. With storage that also covers file, object and block storage use cases as well as solutions for the automated rollout of databases, the platform offers a wide range of options.

Nutanix can also serve as a bridge to the public cloud. With Nutanix Clusters, the Nutanix stack can also be extended into the public cloud. This is particularly interesting for customers who, for example, want to operate a second data centre in the cloud (e.g. for disaster recovery or geo-redundancy).

In co-operation with Bechtle, as an experienced implementation partner, companies find the right strategy to integrate the solution smoothly into their IT landscape.

Modularity and flexibility as the basis for the infrastructure.

One clear advantage of the Nutanix platform is its modularity. Companies can reorganise their infrastructure at their own pace and gradually integrate individual areas. This approach is based on flexible building blocks so that existing architectures can be maintained and expanded. With the scale-out approach, the infrastructure adapts to growing requirements - without the need for a complete changeover from the outset. Nutanix is also the only HCI platform that offers the freedom to choose the hypervisor (Nutanix AHV, VMware ESXi or Hyper-V). You can also choose between HPE, Cisco, DELL, Supermicro (NX) and other established manufacturers for the hardware platforms.

A strong ecosystem - diversity through partner integration.

A major added value of the Nutanix platform is its broad partner network, which supports and expands various IT areas.

Two examples of how other manufacturer partners are increasing the platform's application diversity:

1.

Network and security - cooperation with Cisco.

Together, Nutanix and Cisco offer a robust network infrastructure that also fulfils complex security requirements. As a Cisco Gold Partner, Bechtle contributes its expertise to the selection and configuration of the solutions and supports the smooth integration of network and security management into existing IT environments. The result is an environment that combines stability and IT security and can be flexibly adapted to new requirements.

2.

Backup and data recovery - Reliable solutions with Veeam.

With Veeam, Nutanix offers a powerful backup and data recovery solution that enables organisations to comprehensively protect and flexibly restore their data. The integration of Veeam into the Nutanix platform ensures optimum data availability and reliability, which is crucial for modern, hybrid IT environments. Bechtle contributes its expertise here, for example in implementation, and supports companies in the strategic integration of the backup solution into the existing IT infrastructure.

Conclusion: A partnership for IT transformation and future security.

The combination of Nutanix and Bechtle paves the way for an IT infrastructure that is not only flexible, but also future-proof. Companies receive a platform that evolves with them - step-by-step, modular and scalable.
