Nutanix to leverage existing infrastructures and hybrid environment to ‘slay the dragon’ | #VMworld

One of the more complicated aspects of a company’s infrastructure is DevOps. It can mean a number of things and can stretch across multiple departments. However, Nutanix, Inc. recently acquired Calm.io, an expert in DevOps, and plans on becoming a leader in automating the process.

Aaditya Sood, CEO and cofounder of Calm.io, talked with John Furrier (@furrier) and Stu Miniman (@stu), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during this week’s VMworld conference about Nutanix’s acquisition of Calm.io.

Two is better than one

These two heavy-hitting companies joined forces because they have a shared vision of “philosophy, infrastructure and -,” said Sood.

Calm.io has been a leader in DevOps automation, and now with Nutanix it will be able to grow even larger and work to create fresh solutions to problems, according to Sood.

Why DevOps?

DevOps started as a small part of the IT department and has slowly become a mainstream issue. Nutanix acquired Calm.io in order to better focus on creating mobility for its customers and partner companies. Calm.io uses an “application first approach” when tackling DevOps automation, which helps to improve agility for customers, according to Sood.

As the digital transformation sweeps the industry, Nutanix wants to leverage its existing infrastructures and hybrid environment to “slay the dragon,” said Sood.

With the experience Calm.io brings to the table, Nutanix will be drawing from more than “60,000 servers” to produce common tooling solutions that satisfy its customers’ “hunger for innovation,” Sood stated.
