The era of Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven new demands regarding security, standardization, redundancy, and management. As a result, IT environments are more distributed and virtualized than ever before. Modular and highly scalable hyperconverged solutions address these challenges, offering both a lower total cost of ownership and faster time to market. However, these systems require higher levels of efficiency, standardization, and security. The process of ensuring system compatibility can be complex, expensive, and time-consuming for both users and organizations.
Boosting Hyperconvergence Through Collaboration:
The APC and Nutanix alliance addresses the goal of delivering hyperconvergence through a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that simplifies typical technology procurement and management, enabling a more optimized and efficient deployment of mission-critical systems. APC's certification, based on rigorous testing, pre-validates the interoperability of PowerChute with Nutanix solutions. This eliminates the burden on partners of determining component compatibility and integration within a multi-vendor hyperconverged system, saving them time and money. Furthermore, PowerChute guarantees a level of technological protection that was previously unavailable, providing customers with the assurance that their investment—and their data—will be secure.
"The growth of highly complex IT systems requires vendors to work together to deliver efficiency, standardization, agility, and reliability," said Rob McKernan, senior vice president of IT Channels, IT Division, Schneider Electric. "This collaboration and certification with Nutanix is part of APC's long-term commitment to providing customers with the simplest, most powerful, and integrated components and solutions needed to achieve security in increasingly digital, diverse, and highly scalable IT architectures."
