The world of technology is evolving rapidly, and recent events offer significant perspectives. Following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, a growing number of customers are seeking alternatives for their virtual infrastructures. This BDS Observatory article takes a look at the opportunities offered by Nutanix and Scale Computing, two major players positioning themselves as viable alternatives to VMware.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nutanix .NEXT 2024: a landmark event in Barcelona<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Nutanix recently organised the Nutanix .NEXT 2024 European Conference, a key event in the field of cloud technology. It took place from 21 to 23 May in Barcelona. Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami – who also spent five years at VMware and six years at Broadcom – set out the following three main ideas in his speech.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.- Working with Dell Technologies<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Nutanix and Dell have announced a collaboration aimed at modernising infrastructures and developing modern applications. Joint customers can leverage hybrid multi-cloud solutions from Dell and Nutanix to improve IT operations, resilience and flexibility. This collaboration includes an integrated hyper-converged machine combining the Nutanix cloud platform with Dell servers. It is available in a wide range of PowerEdge models and configurations.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.- Alliance with Cisco strengthened<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Given the uncertainty surrounding the future development of the VMware catalogue following the Broadcom acquisition, Nutanix has stepped up its sales support to help customers migrate to its software. With this in mind, Nutanix engineers are working hard to certify Cisco servers, enabling companies to reuse them to run the Nutanix AHV hypervisor.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.- Association with Nvidia<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

In collaboration with Nvidia, Nutanix is developing GPT-in-a-box 2.0, an AI solution which helps organisations launch AI and ML projects while retaining control of their data. This software-defined platform enables organisations to scale, configure and deploy a set of large language models (LLMs) using open-source AI and ML frameworks on the Nutanix cloud platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

What opportunities are there for Econocom?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware represents an opportunity for Econocom to offer alternative solutions such as Nutanix and Scale Computing to our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technological change often involves hardware renewal, and Nutanix’s hyperconverged offering with Dell could be a key solution for our customers. This combination would make it possible to modernise the infrastructure while maximising existing investment in hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scale Computing offers a viable alternative to VMware with a simple, secure and cost-effective hyper-converged infrastructure. SC\/\/Platform is renowned for its ease of use, eliminating the need for specialist virtualisation knowledge. This simplicity extends to ongoing management, with features such as automated backups, resource allocation and scaling.<\/span><\/p>\n

The SC\/\/Platform also integrates backup and disaster recovery solutions, offering a transparent and cost-effective way of protecting data and applications. Unlike VMware – which often requires third-party solutions – Scale Computing offers an integrated solution, simplifying data protection management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Businesses need infrastructure solutions which can adapt to their changing needs. The SC\/\/Platform excels in this area, offering transparent and easy-to-implement scaling options. In addition, the SC\/\/Platform is designed with built-in high-availability capabilities and automatic resilience, minimising downtime and ensuring enterprise-grade reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent developments in virtual infrastructures offer strategic opportunities for Econocom to offer robust and innovative alternatives to VMware. Nutanix and Scale Computing are leaders in this field, providing solutions which meet the modern needs of businesses in terms of hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence. By taking advantage of these opportunities, Econocom can strengthen its market position and offer cutting-edge technological solutions to its customers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
