Given the fast pace of modern business, traditional enterprise infrastructure is ill-suited to meet the growing demands of databases like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, SAP HANA, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and others. Over the last few years, hyperconverged, web-scale infrastructure has emerged as a better alternative. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) combines compute, storage, virtualization, and networking resources with intelligent software to create flexible building blocks that eliminate many of the pain points of deploying and managing IT infrastructure to support databases.

As an HCI pioneer and leading provider, Nutanix combines the benefits of hyperconvergence and public cloud, making infrastructure invisible and elevating IT to focus on the applications and services that power business. Businesses the world over rely on Nutanix solutions to run critical databases alongside other important applications and services.

This guide describes how Nutanix Enterprise Cloud delivers superior performance, availability, scalability, and management while accelerating application development, facilitating cloud integration, and decreasing the overall cost of your database operations.
