The industry’s most popular hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution. Effortlessly leverage cloud-like agility and ease of use, coupled with on-premises security and control, as you leave behind the complexity and cost of legacy solutions.

OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects delivering various components for a cloud infrastructure solution.
Nutanix and OpenStack are both virtualization platforms that can be used for managing and deploying cloud infrastructure (like private clouds). Both offer scalability to handle large IT environments and aim to simplify IT management.
But Nutanix (launched in 2011) is primarily designed for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) to integrate storage, compute and networking in a single solution. It offers a turnkey appliance model with its own hardware and software integrated and provides own proprietary management interface (Nutanix Prism) which is quite ease to use.
OpenStack (2010) is an open-source platform (initially developed by Rackspace and NASA) that allows to build and manage public and private clouds with a focus on modularity and flexibility. It has a modular architecture that can be deployed on various hardware and software configurations. In particular, it uses third-party open-source tool Horizon for management.
