Simplified Backup
and Recovery for
Nutanix AHV
Key Benefits• Modern protection for

Nutanix AHV environment• Simple backup and rapid
recovery across sites• Integrated cybersecurity
and protection against
ransomware attacks

Uninterrupted application and data availability keep business competitive in an ever-evolving
operating environment. While enterprises are rapidly modernizing their IT production
environment, on-premises and in the public cloud, their reliance on legacy backup products puts
their data at risk. The IT decision-makers need to ask: Can their legacy backup protect, manage,and help gain insights from their rapidly growing data across environments? Can their existing
backup solution defend against sophisticated ransomware attacks, and if the worst happens, help
reduce downtime and data loss with rapid recovery?
Mass data fragmentation—caused by the legacy siloed backup approach makes it challenging toprotect the Nutanix AHV environment, preventing enterprises from fully utilizing their data as areal competitive asset. Instead, IT teams are left grappling with how to address:• Cost overruns, complexity, compliance and security risks, and associated IT burnout• Recurring downtime due to a lack of apps and data mobility across hybrid and public clouds,
making it challenging for your business to search and rapidly recover their data

• Growing data management demands as budgets spent on backup are merely serving as aninsurance policy instead of concurrently meeting dev/test, analytics, security, and complianceneeds
