Cloud governance has improved and teams optimize costs with automated real-time visibility
Hyperglance features help in codeless automation, which means we can fix common issues and optimize resources without doing any coding. Hyperglance has positively impacted our organization by helping us with agentless and self-hosted deployments, which has saved 38% time for deployments that we used to do manually. The automated process has saved us time and money as we cut resources. In the metrics we have tracked, we have saved 22% in costs. The time and cost savings from Hyperglance have allowed our team to focus on other projects and improved our workflow. Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features. We have saved a lot of time and resources by reducing the manual work which the new team needs to do. Now the team is occupied in other work and they are more productive, providing us more user stories in the organization.

Manages hybrid infrastructure seamlessly with flexible cluster scaling and comprehensive oversight
The most important aspect of Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) is that it helps us manage the infrastructure as a hyperconverged infrastructure in HCI mode. If I have different physical servers, I can map them into a cluster and manage the storage together. It provides flexibility to make use of storage in a clustered format instead of using it in an individual storage endpoint. We have the flexibility to have Nutanix-based licensing based on the core model, instead of having a specific cost on the cluster. The costing on a core model gives customers flexibility to add multiple cores to a single physical host and adjust the infrastructure accordingly, and we can scale up the cluster as needed. While other cloud providers, AWS or Azure, are mostly into cloud-based solutions, and Azure has introduced Azure Stack HCI for managing on-premises infrastructure, Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) provides flexibility from day one. We can manage both on-premises and Azure solutions using a single pane of glass, eliminating the need to navigate different windows or screens. It provides a comprehensive view of the infrastructure and highlights specific areas through alerts, giving us good visibility of infrastructure conditions.
