Nutanix Cloud Manager

Nutanix Cloud Manager is the highly aggressive, fiercely dominant cloud software layer built by Nutanix, the absolute pioneer of "Hyperconverged Infrastructure" (compressing massive data center racks into single, powerful boxes). Nutanix recognized that their customers didn't just want boxes in their basement; they wanted a flawless, invisible bridge connecting their Nutanix basement directly to AWS and Azure. Its absolute biggest differentiator is "Invisible Infrastructure." While tools like Aria require a massive learning curve, Nutanix is legendary for its "Apple-like" simplicity. It uses an engine (formerly known as Calm) that allows a junior IT admin to visually drag-and-drop a database, a web server, and a load balancer onto a canvas, and instantly deploy that entire complex application to either the local data center or the public cloud with a single click. Because it is rooted in massive data storage, its "Disaster Recovery (DR) and Orchestration" is terrifyingly powerful. If a hurricane floods a company's primary Miami data center, Nutanix Cloud Manager can execute a massive "Runbook" script, automatically spinning up and failing over the entire corporate infrastructure into a backup AWS cloud environment in minutes, saving the company from total ruin.
