Nutanix claims that customers can see upwards of 4x performance improvement for any workloads without additional hardware or software licenses. Nutanix goes on to state that customers will still have the freedom to choose hypervisors without lock-in and the new upgrades will have built-in machine learning capabilities that increase operational efficiency. ![](https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/nutanix-bezel-650.jpg) Nutanix states its latest software release will further its mission of creating and delivering [invisible infrastructure](https://www.storagereview.com/nutanix_plans_to_deliver_invisible_infrastructure_with_xtreme_computing_platform). Nutanix states that its web-scale computing platform can deliver resiliency, availability, predictable performance across a wide range of enterprise applications. This is ideal for supporting the increasing demands of modern business. Nutanix says that companies building enterprise clouds off of its appliances can see both versatile performance for traditional and next-generation enterprise applications and better value through innovation. The update also extends the Acropolis App Mobility Fabric (AMF). The new updates give IT the freedom to pick the right virtualization environment for their applications, and the flexibility to switch easily in order to reduce costs or simplify operations. Nutanix is also releasing Prism Pro its new datacenter automation solution with a unique search-first interface and customizable dashboards. Prism Pro is all about bringing simplicity to a diverse set of IT operations. It features X-Fit technology that has foundational machine intelligence built into the platform. X-Fit is self-learning and only gets better the more it is used. Incorporating this technology would streamline operations the longer it was used. **Benefits claims and features include:** - Better performance across a wide range of enterprise application workloads, e.g., powering up to 30,000 Microsoft Exchange mailboxes in just 8U of rack space, as validated through the Microsoft Exchange Solution Reviewed Program (ESRP) - Delivering the industry’s fastest storage I/O performance across hyperconverged all flash solutions with over 1 million storage IOPS in just 4U of datacenter space. - Up to 4x price/performance gains on existing investments to deliver as low as $0.35/IOPS, better than top-selling all-flash arrays which also suffer from complex management and additional networking requirements. - 1-click Hypervisor Conversion – Switch the hypervisor running on a Nutanix system from VMware vSphere to the built-in Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) in a completely automatic operation that can be completed in minutes with minimal disruption and risk. - Cross-hypervisor DR and Backup – Rapidly recover from a site failure by failing over VMs from one site to another location running a completely different hypervisor. Perform automatic backups of VM-level data from one Nutanix system to another running a different hypervisor. IT professionals can choose the best hypervisor for each environment to minimize virtualization license costs. **Availability** The new software updates are available now and according to Nutanix with upgrade non-disruptively. Prism Pro is available as an add-on subscription and is currently offered as tech preview with a free 60-day trial evaluation. The new one-click hypervisor upgrade capability in the App Mobility Fabric is available as a Tech Preview in version 4.6.
