Nutanix Announces Partnerships With NetApp, MongoDB

Hybrid multicloud computing organization Nutanix has announced strategic collaborations with both NetApp, an intelligent infrastructure company, and MongoDB, a document database.

Nutanix and MongoDB’s New Certified Integration

The partnership between Nutanix and MongoDB will integrate the Nutanix Database Service (NDB) platform with MongoDB Ops Manager, combining infrastructure automation with database management to simplify MongoDB operations for customers.

This integration is designed to enable MongoDB customers to streamline lifecycle management and data protection for business-critical environments operating at large-scale.

NDB and MongoDB Ops Manager integrate workflows in a unified experience

NDB and MongoDB Ops Manager integrate infrastructure, database operations, and backup workflows into a unified, policy-driven workflow, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.

This integration will help organizations simplify and accelerate operations across the MongoDB deployment lifecycle and allow database teams to reduce provisioning timelines through automated workflows.

Backup and recovery are coordinated through integration with MongoDB Ops Manager, while NDB Time Machine provides a snapshot-based recovery path designed for faster, more predictable outcomes.

Among additional capabilities and benefits to customers are:

• Automated sharded cluster provisioning: Production-ready MongoDB sharded clusters are able to be deployed in minutes with automated infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and Ops Manager agent installation. NDB streamlines the workflow from infrastructure allocation through monitoring setup. 
• Data protection workflows through Ops Manager backup integration: NDB Time Machine coordinates backup and recovery using Ops Manager’s third-party backup integration to enable application-aware snapshots and streamlined restore.
• Point-in-time recovery (PITR) down to seconds: Users can restore to a specific point in time by recovering from the latest snapshot and applying operations up to a specified oplog timestamp.
• Fast recovery measured in minutes: NDB Time Machine snapshot-based workflows are designed to accelerate restore operations and help teams meet stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs) for business-critical MongoDB environments.
• Comprehensive operational visibility: MongoDB Ops Manager provides monitoring, alerting, and operational insights across the deployment. Combined with NDB’s infrastructure automation and visibility, teams can correlate compute/storage behavior with database performance.

“The integration between Nutanix Database Service and MongoDB Ops Manager delivers exactly what enterprise database teams have been asking for: seamless coordination between infrastructure and database operations,” said Ashish Mohindroo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Nutanix Database Service, Nutanix. “By bringing together automated provisioning, operational visibility, and coordinated backup and recovery, customers can reduce operational friction and achieve recovery times that can be measured in minutes.”

NetApp and Nutanix Cloud Platform Integration

The collaboration to integrate NetApp Intelligent Data Infrastructure, built on NetApp enterprise storage systems, with the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) and the Nutanix AHV hypervisor will offer customers greater choice to optimize their virtualization and data strategies across on-prem, cloud, and containerized environments.

Data management capabilities for multicloud operations

Available later this year, the new integration combines NetApp ONTAP’s data management capabilities, including an intelligent, flexible, and secure data foundation, with NCP’s unified hybrid multicloud operations.

Among the key benefits of this integration are:

• Modernize Virtualization and Hypervisor Layer: The combination of NCP with Intelligent Data Infrastructure built on NetApp technology offers customers a new path to more easily modernize on-premises and cloud environments. It is designed to allow customers to optimize storage while setting themselves up for future flexibility to support modern containerized workloads.
• Fast Migration: NFS-based integration between NCP and NetApp ONTAP streamlines VM migration to Nutanix, reducing complexity and accelerating time-to-value. Customers can look forward to faster data-in-place conversions of VMs measured in minutes with NetApp Shift toolkit and Nutanix Move, enabling them to reach full operationality more quickly.
• Simplified Operations: Intuitive management across the NetApp ONTAP and NCP solutions is expected to reduce administrative overhead, troubleshooting, and operational overhead typical of enterprise virtualized environments. It plans to offload data management to ONTAP to allow independent scaling of compute and storage. Organizations running NCP will benefit from NetApp ONTAP’s security, performance, resiliency, and data mobility capabilities.
• VM-Granular Operations: Customers can leverage NetApp and Nutanix capabilities to manage their virtual environments at the VM level, enabling them to manage performance, storage capacity, and recovery methods from a unified management view.
• Built-in Cyber Resilience: NetApp infrastructure combined with NCP enables enterprises to protect workloads across the hybrid cloud. The joint solution offers customers access to NetApp ONTAP Autonomous Ransomware Protection with AI (ARP/AI) and NetApp Ransomware Resilience service to detect threats and exfiltration attempts in real time.

“NetApp and Nutanix are enabling simple, secure, and fast modernization of virtualized environments,” said Sandeep Singh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Storage at NetApp. 

“Whether seeking to transform their virtualization layer, data operations, or both, customers need intelligent Data Infrastructure at the foundation. With our combined capabilities, NetApp and Nutanix will make it easy to run virtualized workloads at enterprise scale.”
