Lenovo, Nutanix Team on Converged IT Platform While Dell Focuses Hyper Converged Offering On Workloads and Applications

Looking to expand the market for its server and hyper-converged infrastructure offerings, #Lenovo and virtualization and storage integration partner #Nutanix rolled out a new series of appliances this week aimed at small to medium-sized enterprises.

Lenovo (HKSE: 992) said Tuesday (May 24) its hyper-converged platform, dubbed the HX2000 series, incorporates the Nutanix Xpress software package designed to allow the new appliances to manage storage-area networks by aggregating computing, storage and networking. The combination creates a "common resource pool" within the Lenovo appliances.

The appliances also offer built-in backup to #Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ: AMZN) and #Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Azure cloud services through a "cloud connect" feature. The Nutanix Xpress software also supports multiple hypervisors and includes the Acropolis hypervisor at no additional cost. The Nutanix hypervisor combines software-defined storage with built-in virtualization in a hyper-converged infrastructure designed to run applications at scale.
