Nutanix has taken SP Central to general availability. If you run infrastructure for a single organisation it probably won’t change your week. If you run infrastructure for other people — as a hoster, an MSP, a telco cloud arm — it’s the most interesting thing Nutanix has shipped this year. Here’s what it is, what […]

Most of what gets written about a new AOS release is a feature list. That’s useful once, when you’re deciding whether to care. It’s much less useful when you’re the person who has to schedule the maintenance window, tell the customer what breaks, and justify why the cluster needs touching at all this quarter. So […]

NGT 4.6 takes some friction out of guest VM management. You can configure Nutanix Guest Tools on supported VMs without mounting a CD-ROM, and individual files can be restored directly to AHV VMs through the v4 APIs instead of recovering a whole machine. NGT server certificates now renew themselves before expiry, installation is more reliable […]

Move 6.3 is the biggest of this batch, widening both where you can migrate to and what you can bring along. New destinations include Projects 2.0 (with security policies migrating alongside the VMs) and Nutanix Government Cloud Clusters on AWS GovCloud, while zero-copy ESXi to AHV migration arrives for supported external storage, now including Dell […]

Files 5.4 leans on security and cloud flexibility. Azure Trusted Launch protects cloud-based file servers with a hardware root of trust, NFS shares can be encrypted with TLS and mTLS certificate authentication without dragging Active Directory into it, and AMD-based VMs are now supported on both AWS and Azure. Administrators can restrict command-line access to […]

Objects 5.4 removes the load balancer VMs from supported AHV deployments, which cuts infrastructure complexity and opens the door to unmanaged networks with manual configuration. Upgrades hurt less too, thanks to rolling upgrades that shorten I/O disruption, and MSP bundle selection is now automatic for supported Prism Central and Objects versions. For access control you […]

NDK 2.3 finally gives Kubernetes data protection a face: a web UI ships inside the core Helm chart and works in both connected and air-gapped environments, with built-in admin and viewer roles, local authentication and TLS or mTLS. Opt-in anonymised Pulse telemetry is also new, so support can see system health without you filing a […]

NDB 2.10.1.4 is mostly about breadth and stability. Guest OS support now stretches to RHEL, Oracle Linux and Rocky Linux 9.7, Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12, engine version coverage widens across Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL and MariaDB, and there is initial support for oracleasmlib v3 drivers. On the reliability side the release brings critical control […]

Self-Service VM 4.4 is a compatibility release rather than a feature one: it keeps the Self-Service VM aligned with Self-Service 4.4 and defines the supported upgrade paths, with versions 4.0 and 4.1 needing a stop at 4.3 before they can move to 4.4. Worth noting before you plan the work: the LCM framework does not […]

Nutanix has released Enterprise AI 2.8, an update built around finer-grained control: custom and predefined roles, permissions down to individual actions, and the ability to share single imported models with specific users instead of exposing your whole catalogue. Fine-tuning and Model Context Protocol support both reach general availability, the Agent Gateway becomes a separately licensed […]
