The Nutanix platform, with the addition of multi-cluster object storage, offers a compelling solution for unstructured object storage that leverages existing storage resources for improved storage economics,” stated Greg Smith, VP of Product Marketing at Nutanix.
The company also informed that Nutanix Objects is now certified by Splunk as SmartStore compliant allowing customers to manage Splunk data growth with Nutanix Objects.

As object storage makes the leap from the cloud to the datacenter and mission critical workloads, economics must be balanced with performance.” said Amita Potnis, research director in IDC’s Storage team.
