Nutanix is taking a pop at VMware – again – as it unwraps features that it says allow customers to run distributed sovereign clouds.
“It’s actually not too hard to create a sovereign cloud, if you just block off all access,” claimed Lee Caswell, senior veep of product and solutions marketing at Nutanix.
He added “as at least one of our competitors” presumes, “you can live with just one virtual private cloud.” But he argued “there’s a tailwind for distributing data and applications more in the future than we’ve even seen to date.”
That means having the ability to flex sovereignty across endpoints, and “to be able to set security policies locally and propagate them globally.”
