Latin America. Nutanix has announced that it has been named a Leader in the inaugural edition of IDC MarketScape: Global Hyperconvergence System Vendor Assessment 2014.
The report recognizes the prominent role that hyperconvergence solutions are playing in data centers, and credits Nutanix as a key player in the development and success of the rapid growth of technology, with a 52 percent share of hyperconvergence market revenue during the first half of 2014.
Hyperconverged systems integrate server and storage resources into easy-to-deploy devices to reduce costs, increase flexibility, and simplify IT management. According to the report, "Nutanix has been a key player in the emergence of hyperconvergence in the market and came forward to demonstrate the demand for the technology. The result has been a leading position in both market share and brand recall. The company generated 52 percent of all global hyperconvergence revenue during the first half of 2014, and has clearly been planting the seeds for future growth. "
"Nutanix has played a critical role in identifying and capitalizing on the need for hyperconvergence solutions," said Eric Sheppard, director of storage research at IDC. "Nutanix is now leveraging its early success and consumer knowledge to build new partnerships with key tier equipment manufacturers and to expand the capabilities of its solutions. These moves should help ensure that the company remains a key element for market growth as hyperconvergence solutions enter a new phase of rapid geographic and workload expansion."
While initial hyperconvergence deployments focused on specific workloads, such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), Nutanix has led the industry in expanding the use of hyperconvergence to a broad set of demanding enterprise workloads. According to the report, "[i]n the past 18 months, the types of workloads running on Nutanix systems have diversified from specific or specialized workloads like VDI to Tier 1 applications and highly virtualized general business workloads like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Splunk and Unified Communications (UC) Applications."
"Our position as a leader in this IDC MarketScape is a testament to the pivotal role Nutanix has played in building and shaping the innovative hyperconvergence market," said Greg Smith, senior director of product and technical marketing, Nutanix. "Our demanding market share demonstrates the value of bringing advanced technologies to web-scale to empower the workload of any company, at any scale."
