Overview

Nutanix makes setting up a virtual desktop environment accessible, even if you're not an IT expert. With just five steps, you can choose your cloud infrastructure (like AWS or Google Cloud), select the apps you need (such as Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, or Google Chrome), connect your existing cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive), and access your virtual desktop through any HTML-5 capable browser. Nutanix focuses on simplicity and speed, allowing you to get everything up and running in less than an hour. It makes it perfect for small businesses with limited IT support. Although it doesn't have native apps and is only available on Windows 10, it offers high-performance 3D graphics and drag-and-drop file sharing. Nutanix integrates well with clouds and identity providers and features auto-scaling and auto-decommissioning, which is excellent for managing remote teams.
