Nutanix hypervisor-agnostic solutions are revolutionising the way organisations buy hypervisor solutions, providing freedom to choose the best hypervisor for their needs without being stuck with one provider. This flexibility helps you avoid vendor lock-in, optimise costs, and innovate.

So, first of all, what is a hypervisor?

What is a hypervisor?

A hypervisor is software that creates and manages virtual machines (VMs), enabling multiple operating systems to run on a single physical host. The role of a hypervisor is critical in virtualisation, helping organisations streamline operations and optimise infrastructure use.

What are some common misconceptions about hypervisors?

Avoiding vendor lock-in

Vendor lock-in occurs when organisations become dependent on a single provider for their virtualisation needs, making it difficult and costly to switch providers or adopt new technologies. With Nutanix AHV, you will embrace hypervisor diversity, ensuring flexibility and futureproofing your infrastructure. Nutanix hypervisor-agnostic solutions offer operational resilience and help avoid vendor lock-in, allowing you to choose the best platform for each workload.
