Nutanix
recognised
as a Gartner
Peer Insights
Customers’
Choice vendor
utanix, a leader in enterprise
N cloud computing, has announced
that it has been named by
Gartner as a 2020 Gartner Peer Insights
Customers’ Choice for Hyperconverged
Infrastructure. This is the second year
that Nutanix has been recognised as a
Customers’ Choice.
“At a time when many organisations are
struggling with the day-to-day realities
of running a business remotely, we are
continuing to focus on our customers
by delivering an IT infrastructure that is
invisible and automated, allowing teams
to focus on more immediate business
needs,” said David Sangster, Chief
Operating Officer at Nutanix. “To us, being
recognised as a Gartner Peer Insights
Customers’ Choice for Hyperconverged
Infrastructure is a great honour and only
strengthens our commitment to deliver
cloud computing solutions that are
flexible, simple, resilient and adaptable
to customers’ changing needs, including
widespread remote work.”
Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure
(HCI) integrates compute, virtualisation,
storage, networking and security, making
tasks like deploying a virtual desktop
environment much easier and faster.
Something that would take weeks with
legacy IT can take just hours with Nutanix.
Portable, subscription-based software
licenses deliver valuable flexibility so
IT infrastructure is no longer coupled
to specific hardware devices and
configurations, which could be critically
important in situations where the global
supply chain is impacted.

alue-added distributor,
V Exertis Hammer, and Siklu,
a global market leader in
millimetre-wave wireless solutions,
have announced a distribution
agreement that will greatly
expand Siklu’s reach to wireless
connectivity resellers, data centres,

OEMs in the UK, Ireland, Benelux
and Scandinavia.
Exertis Hammer has been supplying
Ethernet, fibre channel and

millimetre wave wireless solutions
to its vertical markets.
The UK and Europe distributor

existing customers with the full
Siklu product range, which includes
radios in the 60 GHz and 70/80GHz
bands. Products offered through Exertis
Hammer will include Siklu’s EtherHaul
Hundred Series and EtherHaul Kilo

with up to 10 Gb throughput, and up
to 4.3 miles (6.9km), as well as the
MultiHaul Series for automatically
aligning rapid deployment.
Siklu leads the millimetre wave radio
market and offers excellent fibre
extension solutions for delivering
multigigabit connectivity free from
5GHz interference. Siklu’s mmWave
radios provide fibre-like performance
with the speed and flexibility of a
wireless deployment.
For companies in time-pressured
industries, applying Siklu wireless
connectivity solutions to the already
existing networks helps shorten
the deployment timelines. The
agreement between Exertis Hammer
and Siklu will allow many UK and
European businesses, as well as public
organisations, to have unprecedented
access to best-in-class mmWave
wireless connectivity.
