Nutanix, a global leader in cloud software and hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, was facing a challenge in unifying monitoring across infrastructure, applications, databases, directory services and more. They were seeking to improve their ability to ensure application performance by getting service-centric visibility. The company began to evaluate a number of monitoring solutions and found many of the options to be complicated, which was a “showstopper” for Nutanix. It was critically important that the monitoring platform they chose provide total visibility with low overhead, enhancing their team’s agility as new services get deployed. The monitoring requirements identified by Nutanix included incorporating performance metrics and fault events for F5 load balancers, checking web portal function with synthetic web transactions, notifying in advance of SSL certificate expirations, digging deep into Tomcat Java JMX applications by gathering thread counts, heap memory and open file descriptors, tracking MySQL database essentials like data and index sizes, open connections and tables, and join statistics, and supporting core Active Directory infrastructure by collecting number of connections and sessions, read/write activity, bind times, and cache hit rates.

Nutanix, a global leader in cloud software and a pioneer in hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, recognized the need to help companies modernize and deploy their applications in a hybrid, multicloud world. The company sought to leverage its technology in more than 20,000 of the world's data centers to manage any app at any location for their hybrid multicloud environments. However, achieving this required a strategic partnership that could deliver solutions to accelerate customers’ digital transformation and business outcomes. Five years ago, Nutanix engineers began porting their software onto HPE ProLiant DL servers to enable integrated hybrid cloud solutions. The initial relationship has now evolved into a true strategic alliance, with HPE and Nutanix expanding their relationship to offer customers an extensive product portfolio.

Total S.A., a French multinational energy company, is one of the largest energy producers in the world. Its operations span the entire oil and gas supply chain, from crude oil and natural gas exploration and production to power generation, transportation, refining, petroleum product marketing, and international crude oil and product trading. To support these operations, Total’s IT environment runs a wide variety of applications on premises, as well as extensive public and private cloud environments, including Microsoft Azure. The company needed a consistent platform and management for all of its sites, regardless of size. Some offices contain as few as three people, while others may support up to 1000 employees. The organization needed a strategic solution that would position the organization to respond to any need. The company was also seeking to dramatically minimize the size of its data center footprint as part of its environmental initiatives to reduce greenhouse emissions.
