Provide an intuitive user interface (UI) through focus on user experience (UX) and design (Prism).Simplify the “stack” through convergence, abstraction and intelligent software (AOS).Enable choice and portability (HCI/Cloud/Hypervisor).This simplicity was to be achieved by focus in three core areas: Make infrastructure computing invisible, anywhere.

When Nutanix was conceived it was focused on one goal: This book will cover these basics as well as the core architectural concepts. API-based automation and rich analytics.There are a few key constructs used when talking about “Web-scale” infrastructure: Web-scale principles are applicable and beneficial at any scale, whether 3-nodes or thousands of nodes.

Web-scale doesn’t mean you need to be as big as Google, Facebook, Amazon, or Microsoft in order to leverage them. Nutanix leverages “Web-scale” principles throughout our software stack.
