AOS 6.10 is designed for both current and new Nutanix users. It meets the needs of organizations who demand the ability to run any workload now and in the future, without being constrained by IT silos. Let’s explore how this new release can help transform your IT landscape.

1) Unprecedented Storage Capabilities

AOS 6.10 combines faster, denser storage capabilities with superior performance from earlier releases. One of the bigger features in this storage category is the integration of AES Optimized Metadata from AOS 6.8. This feature enables higher performance, particularly sustained random access patterns that are common with high-end databases. This enhancement is crucial for businesses that manage large volumes of data and require quick access without sacrificing security or integrity.

Other new storage and data service features range from dedupe enhancements, capacity planning improvements, an optimized database solution, easier to use storage policies, and more.

2) Nutanix AHV: Enterprise Readiness

The Nutanix AHV hypervisor in AOS 6.10 showcases the latest advancements in hypervisor technology and enterprise features. It includes on-demand cross-cluster migration, AOS storage optimizations, intelligent virtual machine (VM) placement, and robust security – all supported by an ever-growing partner ecosystem. This makes Nutanix AHV with AOS 6.10 the ideal choice for those seeking an alternative hypervisor, offering ease of use, functionality, and scalability.

3) Disaster Recovery and Resiliency

AOS 6.10 elevates Disaster Recover (DR) to new heights with a wide array of replication and resiliency options. It features NearSync for Volume Groups and Consistency groups, Metro-multi site DR, and significant enhancements for DR options.

For the first time, Multicloud Snapshot Technology (MST) with Pilot Light Deployment allows snapshots to be replicated directly to Amazon S3 cloud storage, enabling the ability to recover to a Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) cluster when disaster strikes. These features ensure that your organization is well-prepared to handle any unforeseen events, maintaining operational continuity and safeguarding critical data.

4) Nutanix Flow Network Security offers Enhanced Security, Connectivity, and Cyber Resilience

AOS 6.10 introduces advanced security measures with the Flow Network Security solution and the Prism Central Security Dashboard feature, designed to protect your data, safeguard your network, and elevate the management of operational security. These enhancements ensure a more secure and resilient IT environment for your enterprise. For instance, the Prism Central Security Dashboard, introduced in AOS 6.6, provides a centralized overview of your infrastructure’s security posture.

Updates to networking and security for Flow Network Security Next Gen product and Flow Virtual Networking include traffic mirroring, easier policy management, and new ways to scale across clouds are now available in AOS 6.10. These updates simplify security management and fortify your network against evolving threats.

5) Streamlined Management and Automation

The AOS 6.10 update enhances management and automation by focusing on efficiency and user experience. This release introduces VM-centric data policies, new storage policies, and efficiency improvements with the X-Small Prism Central management console for smaller deployments.

Also, fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC), added in AOS 6.8, provides greater control over users’ access to specific resources. Furthermore, v4 APIs (Release Candidate) enable your organization to leverage a single family of industry-standard APIs to meet your objectives. Paired with the simplified Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) installs, AOS 6.10 enables your IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine tasks.
