What is ABS?

• Exposes storage through direct block-level iSCSI access

• ABS enables high availability, scalability, and performance to non-virtualized Oracle, SQL, and IBM DB2 workloads

Program (SVVP)

WS 2012 R2 and Microsoft

applications are supported on the

Nutanix platform with AHV

Nutanix AHV

For workloads moving from physical to virtual, Nutanix and

AHV eliminate the cost, complexity, and lock-in of legacy virtualization

33

VMware users are increasingly going multi-hypervisor, with AHV in use

for dev/test, ROBO, etc., to reduce virtualization costs and simplify management
