Enterprise IT teams are turning to cloud-based infrastructure to deliver
today’s modern business applications, many of which are built from
discrete but interconnected services. Protecting these applications
requires the microsegmentation capabilities of Nutanix Flow, which
enforces app-centric policies that govern communications between
individual application services. Nutanix will also leverage Netsil’s
advanced stream processing, application discovery and mapping technology
to simplify security policy definition for applications running in both
public and private clouds. IT teams and business owners gain the
confidence that their business applications are protected from both
internal and external security threats.
“The next frontier of networking is about providing customers with
visibility into their networks so they can track and analyze data,
improve cloud application performance and optimize their resources,”
said Harjot Gill, Sr. Director, Product & Engineering, Nutanix. “We have
worked hard to integrate Netsil’s advanced functionality into Nutanix
Flow and we’re proud our customers will soon be able to take advantage
of the visibility and discovery technology we pioneered.”
Nutanix Flow is built into the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS, and today
provides:
-
Network Visualization — giving application owners an
at-a-glance view of network performance and availability per
application
-
Application-Centric Microsegmentation — providing granular
control and governance for all application traffic to protect
sensitive workloads and data
-
Service Insertion and Chaining — integrating additional
network functions from multiple Nutanix Ready ecosystem partners into
a single networking policy
-
Network Automation — streamlining and automating common
network configuration changes, like VLAN configuration or load
balancer policy modifications, based on application lifecycle events
for VMs running on Nutanix AHV
To accelerate infrastructure innovation and agility, Gartner recommends
that infrastructure and operations leaders “make network automation,
visualization and optimization capabilities an integral part of their
selection process by prioritizing vendors that provide an
application-specific view of cluster performance.”1
“Nutanix Flow completes Nutanix’s mission to make IT infrastructure
invisible,” said Sunil Potti, Chief Product & Development Officer,
Nutanix. “As we looked to simplify networking, we took a modern approach
to enable visibility and control for both enterprise apps and
next-generation cloud-native services. Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS now
converges the compute, storage, virtualization and networking resources
to power nearly any application, at any scale.”
Availability
Nutanix Flow is available now. Additional network visibility and app
discovery capabilities based on recently-acquired Netsil technology are
in development.
