Nutanix Unified Storage

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is a software-defined storage (SDS) solution that simplifies how organizations handle massive amounts of data. Instead of managing separate hardware for different storage types, NUS provides a single, elastic platform that runs on any Nutanix-certified hardware or in the public cloud.

Designed with a Security-First approach, NUS is specifically engineered to handle modern data challenges:

• True Consolidation: Manage Nutanix Files (NAS), Nutanix Objects (S3-compatible), and Nutanix Volumes (SAN) through a single interface, reducing administrative overhead by up to 60%.
• Integrated Cyber-Resilience: NUS is not just about storage; it's about protection. It features native WORM (Write Once, Read Many) capabilities, immutable snapshots, and integrated encryption to ensure your data cannot be altered by hackers.
• Massive Scalability: Start with a few terabytes and grow to petabytes seamlessly. The "pay-as-you-grow" model ensures you never have to over-provision hardware again.
• Optimized for Modern Apps: Whether you are supporting traditional Windows file shares or modern containerized applications via CSI drivers, NUS provides the performance and low latency required.

Key Features (Bullet Points for Quick Reading)

• Multiprotocol Support: Native support for NFS, SMB, S3, and iSCSI protocols in one unified stack.
• Identity-Based Security: Granular access control and integration with Active Directory to ensure only authorized users access sensitive data.
• Smart Tiering: Automatically move "cold" data to lower-cost cloud storage (like AWS S3 or Azure Blob) to optimize your budget.
• Software-Defined Agility: Deploy storage services in minutes without waiting for new physical hardware to arrive.
• Simplified Licensing: A single, capacity-based license covers all your file, object, and block storage needs.
