International. Nutanix announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform™ for Cisco® Unified Computing System (UCS) as a recipient of the 2016 CRN Product Award in the Hyperconverged Infrastructure category.
Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform ranked first in the Technology and Customer Demand subcategories. The recognized products represent best-in-class technological innovation in the judgment of publishers and the CRN solution provider community.
In August 2016, Nutanix™ independently validated Cisco UCS® C-Series servers with its Enterprise Cloud Platform software, giving Cisco® customers access to the industry's most popular hyperconverged solution to deliver the benefits of a public cloud while retaining security and control of data center infrastructure. Nutanix at Cisco UCS gives customers the ability to leverage their investment in Cisco networking technologies, including Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), to build a software-defined network and data center without modifying the architecture or operations of their networks.
"Earning this award a few months after introducing this combination of hyperconverged solutions speaks to its impact on the market and the presence of strong customer demand," said Chris Morgan, vice president of global channels at Nutanix. "Only Nutanix™ software gives Cisco UCS® C-series users the ability to incorporate the simplicity and scalability of the public cloud into their data centers while enjoying greater control and cost reduction in infrastructure."
