Nutanix keeps big data management requirements, security, and data visibility as priorities for customers, according to Greg Muscarella, VP of product, Nutanix.
“Data storage is quickly changing as IT leaders need to manage increasingly large amounts of data in increasingly complex environments, often across data centers and public clouds,” Muscarella said. “Security is also top of mind when it comes to data, as ransomware is now
a commonplace problem.
“Given these trends, we at Nutanix ensure we’re helping customers easily establish uniform data governance and security policies as well have visibility across all the data — this is particularly important for those operating in a hybrid or multicloud environment.”
Nutanix employees bring specialized storage experience to the table, so that data storage is built into solutions, Muscarella said.
“Storage teams are also being asked for multiple storage types (block, file, objects, databases, etc.) and shouldn’t have to learn all new products to deliver for their developers. In summary, we look to our employees to build their storage expertise into our products, so that customers can easily benefit from them.”
