One Platform to Run Apps, Data, and AI Anywhere.
Overview
The Nutanix Cloud Platform is a secure, resilient, and self-healing platform for building hybrid multicloud infrastructure. It supports all kinds of workloads and use cases across public and private clouds, multiple hypervisors, and containers. It is built on a foundation of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), integrating compute, storage, and virtualization into a single software-defined solution.
✨ Key Features

- Built-in AHV Hypervisor (or support for ESXi, Hyper-V)
- Unified management of VMs and containers
- One-click infrastructure and application management
- Integrated disaster recovery and data protection
- Cost governance and cloud optimization
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Simplicity of management ('one-click' operations)
- Freedom of choice (hardware, hypervisor, cloud)
- Seamless application and data mobility between on-premises and public clouds
Unique Value: Delivers the simplicity and agility of public cloud with the performance, security, and control of a private cloud, enabling a unified hybrid multicloud experience.
