Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, has announced Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) to simplify management of container-based modern applications using Kubernetes.
NKP enables customers to innovate faster with a complete, CNCF-compliant cloud native stack that gives Platform Engineering teams a consistent operating model for securely managing Kubernetes clusters across on-premises, hybrid and multicloud environments. This can help customers deploy more cloud native and containerised applications that can ultimately run anywhere.
“Enterprises have standardised on Kubernetes to speed application development and simplify portability across the hybrid cloud. However, the DevOps culture has led to adoption of disparate Kubernetes environments within the same organisation leading to operational complexity, overhead and silos,” said Simon Robinson, Principal Analyst, Infrastructure, Enterprise Strategy Group.
“Nutanix Kubernetes Platform offers a path to consistency across a fleet of Kubernetes clusters which can help drastically reduce cost of operations and speed time to market.”
NKP targets a new class of Kubernetes Platform Engineering teams to bring enterprise resilience, day-2 operations, and compliance to modern applications at scale. For example, customers can manage clusters running containers on Nutanix on-premises and clusters running in the public cloud with one single pane of glass, cutting down on complexity and operating costs. It also enables organisations to manage clusters running in non-Nutanix environments, including popular public cloud Kubernetes services, as well as both connected and air-gapped environments. This helps customers innovate faster by removing the hurdles in adopting cloud native architectures for their applications.
“One of the biggest challenges organisations face with cloud native applications is deploying, securing and managing the rapidly expanding fleets of Kubernetes clusters being deployed on premises and in public clouds and NKP simplifies this,” said Tobi Knaup, GM Cloud Native at Nutanix. “This work directly supports our vision, along with Project Beacon, to enable customers to run modern applications and their data anywhere.”
NKP helps enterprises manage the operational complexity of running enterprise-grade kubernetes deployments.
