Over the past few decades, virtualization has become an increasingly integral part of enterprise architecture. Hyper-convergence (HCI) combines virtualization within a platform with the power to host several instances simultaneously. This helps CIOs and CISOs combine their application workflows and virtualized security tools into one platform.

Nutanix is considered one of the “original” HCI providers and remains the market leader in this highly competitive space today. According to Gartner's research reviews, clients globally continue to rave about Nutanix:‍

“The AI & Anomaly-based suggestions provided by Nutanix products are outstanding. It significantly improves efficiency for those handling data centers and virtualization.”

Even with competitors like Broadcom, Cisco, and HPE, Nutanix continues to capture market share and new customers.
