About Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI): Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a software-defined IT infrastructure that virtualizes all of the elements of conventional "hardware-defined" systems. HCI includes, at a minimum, virtualized computing (a hypervisor), a software-defined storage, and virtualized networking (software-defined networking).

Why
Troop Messenger + Nutanix

Troop Messenger partners with Nutanix to provide Hyperconverged Infrastructure-HCI to large enterprises, governments, and defence organizations, helping them use Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS software for managing Troop Messenger on it.

Nutanix delivers the simplicity and agility of public cloud alongside the performance, security, and control of private cloud. Whether on prem or hybrid, build the exact cloud you want, with unified management and operations, one-click simplicity, intelligent automation, and always-on availability. Troop messenger leverages Nutanix’s inbuilt Hypervisor, its software defined storage and its ability to natively provide NAS and Object storage for storing the critical data.

With Nutanix, Troop messenger gets the added resilience from any kind of hardware failure. Nutanix provides automatic failover of VM’s and data from failed/failing nodes, and moves the workload to the surviving nodes without any manual intervention.

Nutanix provides one of the most secure Hyperconverged platform for security conscious customers, which is depicted from their continuous leadership in the Gartner MQ as well as multiple security certifications like FIPS, CCC, NIST, ISO27001 etc.

What Functionalities are Included with Nutanix HCI?

Openness

Nutanix software is based on multiple available open tools, like Cassandra, zookeeper, stargate, Pithos, Lazan etc.

Massive scalability

Start from 3 nodes, and scale to hundreds of nodes in the same cluster.

Hypervisor Included

Nutanix HCI solutions include Acropolis Hypervisor by default, without any extra charge to customer.

Security

Best available security certification, as per approved by USA defense, available by-default to Nutanix HCI customers. These include – FIPS, DISA approved STIGS, CCC, NIST, TAA compliance, etc

Remote Replication

Customers can opt for continuous availability between the two sites by leveraging HCI based replication.

Snapshot & Clones

one touch snapshot & clones available from day-1

Data Encryption

Data-at-Rest encryption is available as an add-on license. No requirement of separate KMS server or SED’s.

Open API’s

Nutanix HCI has open API’s, which means, Nutanix can be integrated with any third-party tools.

No-Single-Point-of-Failure

Nutanix truly provides, NSPOF architecture. Customer can benefit from the flexibility of choosing one-node or two-node failures. Rack level redundancy is also available.

Power-Space-Cooling

Massive reduction in Power, space, cooling requirement against any traditional datacenter.

No more RAIDs

All disk failures are handled with software level control. No primitive RAID options, which require days/weeks to recover data on a hot-spare disk.

Operational Charm

Single Management console, to manage multiple HCI cluster, and drill down performance, events etc.
