End-User Computing/VDI

Deliver optimal user experience regardless of deployment scale or type

Leverage a software-defined appliance ideal for running industry-leading VDI solutions

Nutanix web-scale architecture provides predictable performance, linear scaling, and simplified management for virtual desktop infrastructure deployments. It comes ready to run Citrix XenDesktop and Citrix XenApp on any hypervisor – Nutanix AHV, Citrix XenServer, HyperV, or ESXi – and supports VMware Horizon with View. Nutanix VDI solutions are ideal for scenarios that require a quick turnaround of virtual desktops, such as classrooms, call center operations, and healthcare facilities. We stand behind our technology with the Nutanix VDI Assurance Program.

Support Growing End User Needs

VDI is not only being driven by IT departments to efficiently support growing end user computing needs, it is also needed to support bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives, anytime, anywhere access to applications and data, and improved security.

A single Nutanix platform supports every type of VDI user and application and deployment model, from non-persistent task and knowledge worker desktops to persistent power and graphics-intensive user desktops, without having to rely on overprovisioning storage capacity for performance.

Simplify Infrastructure Management

Traditional VDI architectures with separate storage and compute servers bring complexity, inflexible resource provisioning, and fragmented infrastructure management, which can offset the advantages of desktop virtualization. Nutanix helps address these challenges with an Enterprise Cloud Platform that simplifies VDI projects and accelerates time to value.

Minimize Risk

Minimize infrastructure risk by providing predictability and reliability as your desktop and application projects scale from pilot to full-scale production environments.

Deploy Scale-Out File Services

Nutanix Acropolis File Services (AFS) is a software defined scale-out file server for Windows environments that allows users to seamlessly scale for performance on demand. Deploy AFS to host user profiles, home directories and departmental shares on the same cluster running VDI and eliminate the silo of standalone NAS.
