Enterprise Cloud For Dummies, Nutanix Special Edition
✓ The need for manual configuration and setup when
applications move from one environment to another
✓ The need to learn new management tools, constructs,
and paradigms for each platform
Application mobility requires tackling each of these challenges. Your enterprise cloud environment must have the
capability to overcome these barriers.
Virtualization has helped in many ways to get to this point.
With enterprise cloud‐based environment running on hyperconverged infrastructure, which requires workloads to be virtualized, you can quickly and easily decouple many elements
of the datacenter. You can even decouple applications and
their runtime environments. You effectively eliminate the data
gravity issue and, because everything runs with a common
management layer, you have no worries as you move applications between environments.
Further, you don’t need to learn a bunch of new management
tools. In your enterprise cloud environment, all aspects are
handled on a common management layer.
