Brocade has tied up with Nutanix to help enterprises seamlessly de­p­loy hyper-converged infrastructure. Brocade’s VDX switches are now compatible and interoperable with Nutanix systems. Dep­loy­ing the Nutanix Xtreme Computing Platform (XCP) and Bro­cade VDX switches with Brocade VCS Fabric technology helps add­r­ess customer requirements for virtualisation and specific workloads such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and big data analytics.

Nutanix XCP and Brocade VDX switches help customers deploy business-critical workloads as well as VDI deployments and big data analytics. Brocade and Nutanix are also closely aligned on channel strategy and have common distribution partners, including Avnet and Arrow. Both companies are committed to delivering ongoing enablement tools and programs to ensure continued customer and channel success.

In addition to realising the significant performance and efficiency gains, organisations using Brocade VCS Fabric technology will be able to seamlessly scale out their networks with a simple, flat Fabric-based architecture that forms and heals automatically, delivering unmatched simplicity and resiliency. It maximises network resiliency with built-in redundancy; supports automated, hypervisor-agnostic virtual machine discovery and mobility; delivers high speed replication performance in and between data centres; and improves visibility for faster troubleshooting.
