Ten years ago, Nutanix exploded on the federal scene. By now, just about every listener has heard of Nutanix partnering with the federal government in a wide range of projects.
Today, an update with Greg O’Connell from Nutanix. He demonstrates how federal agencies can leverage Nutanix’s experience to achieve mission success across various cloud environments.
During the interview, O’Connell gives a basic comparison of multi-cloud vs. hybrid cloud. From his perspective, a multi-cloud environment includes one or more public cloud providers. A hybrid cloud enables a system that combines on-premises infrastructure with public cloud services. This allows a single, integrated environment, providing more control over access, compliance, and ability to connect with legacy systems.
Existing applications and data always present a challenge in moving to the scalability and flexibility of the cloud. Nutanix brings to federal technology its ability to work with legacy systems in a system that has been evaluated over time.
Most federal leaders may wonder what is taking place in other agencies. To that end, Nutanix provides an annual report on cloud activities.
The 7th Annual Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index Report highlights that 94% of US government entities utilize AI, but 76% require infrastructure improvements.
