The enterprise infrastructure market is faced with disruption across multiple fronts. Traditional virtualization platforms face unprecedented disruption, while emerging AI-first workloads demand architectures that seamlessly span on-prem, cloud, and edge environments.
It’s against this backdrop that Nutanix, Cisco, and Pure Storage have collaborated to reimagine converged infrastructure with Cisco’s FlashStack with Nutanix:
- Addresses three critical enterprise needs: VMware alternatives, AI-ready infrastructure, and modernization without architectural lock-in
- Organizations can achieve up to an 85% reduction in physical footprint and power consumption compared to equivalent three-tier architectures
- As compared with traditional HCI solutions, FlashStack with Nutanix enables independent scaling of compute and storage resources while maintaining HCI-like operational simplicity
- Validated architectures reduce deployment risk and accelerate time-to-value through pre-tested configurations.
This Research Report (sponsored by Nutanix) examines the Cisco FlashStack with Nutanix, a solution combining Cisco’s validated compute platform, Nutanix’s cloud-native operating model, and Pure Storage’s enterprise flash arrays.
The results show a shift toward modular convergence that preserves operational benefits while eliminating traditional architectural constraints.
