Compare this to a traditional fixed-cost VDI model, where resources are provisioned for peak capacity even though you don’t need them 99% of the time.

Reading Time: 3 minutesVeeam ha finalmente annunciato la disponibilità di un prodotto nuovo atteso da più di un anno: Veeam Availability for Nutanix AHV, una soluzione di “Backup & Replication” per la piattaforma di virtualizzazione Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV).

But was a requirement for Nutanix partners and and plus for a customer because it confirms your (minimal) ability to install, configure, and manage the Nutanix environment.
