Digital transformation, the increasingly emerging Internet of Things (IoT), and the spread of Applications with a priority on mobile usage have triggered a profound rethinking of how software is created, delivered and scaled.

Modern Applications are developed with flexible architectures that leverage smaller, more independent modular services.

While these new application architectures will IT-agility have improved overall, they have also improved a variety of IT-Challenges disclosed: Transparency of Application-Interdependencies for troubleshooting, new security threats, and a lack of unified management Tools.

If SAP-existing customers the platform NetWeaver on the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform with native AHV virtualization, they can use integrated virtualization management.

They also no longer need to purchase and manage additional virtualization software. SAP-Developers can shorten development and test cycles by leveraging Nutanix's rich set of PowerShell Commandlets and APIs use

Without a central, consolidated view of all InfrastructureResources including the network environment, identifying, isolating and fixing problems quickly becomes too complex and time-consuming.

Common challenges, such as incorrect VLAN configurations, take hours to diagnose and resolve, resulting in application downtime as well as lost revenue.
