Enterprise cloud computing vendor Nutanix, has announced expanded integration with digital workflow company ServiceNow, to streamline IT operations and cut costs.
As customers look to streamline their IT operations and cut costs during the global crisis, the new features will help customers to simplify and automate infrastructure, application, and cloud management.
“As IT teams focus on delivering remote work solutions, they sometimes struggle to support the business more broadly because they are strapped for time and resources,” said Rajiv Mirani, chief technology officer (CTO), Nutanix. “This strengthened integration with ServiceNow, along with the broader suite of Nutanix automation solutions, will allow IT teams to reduce the amount of time they spend on day-to-day management of their cloud infrastructure, as well as applications, so they can focus on supporting business priorities.”
According to Nutanix, manual processes are still the norm in IT despite the cost savings and increased speed from automating repetitive operations. It is expected that by 2024 organisations will lower operational costs by 30% by combining hyper automation technologies with redesigned operational processes, a transition that might accelerate in response to the current global situation.
According to a PwC survey, 62% of organisations are looking at containing costs and 54% are concerned about the potential or significant impact to business operations as a result of the global pandemic.
Nutanix aims to simplify automation and make it more accessible to IT professionals at all levels.
Nutanix said with its technology, IT generalists will be able to simply set up triggers and automated actions to simplify day-to-day operations. The company added that integration with leading automation solutions like ServiceNow allows Nutanix customers to further simplify cloud and application management by integrating with their existing IT ticketing system to simplify workflows. With these latest product enhancements, Nutanix aims to significantly expand on the suite of automation and cost governance benefits for its customers.
To further enable IT teams, Nutanix has also announced strengthened integrations and product capabilities to simplify operations.
The company said with simplified DevOps, Nutanix Calm 3.0 will deliver expanded capabilities as well as strengthened ServiceNow integration. Customers can now automate their app lifecycles, including upgrades, patches, expansions and more, while taking advantage of the approval flow and audit capabilities of ServiceNow.
Expanded ServiceNow integrations are currently available to customers.
