Nutanix Backup & Recovery Backup & Recovery

Protect Nutanix AHV, Files, Objects and databases with immutable backup.

Immutable Backup Built for Nutanix

Modern infrastructure demands a backup solution designed specifically for the platform it protects. Many traditional backup vendors simply adapt legacy software to work with Nutanix, creating complexity, performance issues and unnecessary infrastructure requirements.

Immutably, powered by HYCU, provides purpose-built Nutanix backup designed from day one for the Nutanix ecosystem. The result is faster backups, simpler operations and reliable recovery without agents, proxies or complicated infrastructure.

Why Nutanix Backup Requires a Purpose-Built Solution

Nutanix environments require deep platform integration to ensure reliable data protection. Traditional backup tools often introduce unnecessary complexity and fail to integrate fully with the Nutanix platform.

Common challenges include:

  • Complex backup infrastructure requiring proxies and agents
  • Performance impacts during backup operations
  • Limited support for Nutanix services such as Files and Objects
  • Slow recovery times
  • High operational overhead

What Immutably Protects in Microsoft 365

Immutably provides comprehensive protection across the Nutanix ecosystem including:

  • Nutanix AHV virtual machines
  • Nutanix Files
  • Nutanix Objects
  • Nutanix Volume Groups
  • Nutanix databases and applications

Key Features

Zero VM Stun Backups

Traditional backup tools can briefly freeze virtual machines during snapshots, which can impact applications and databases. Immutably leverages Nutanix storage-level snapshots to eliminate VM stun events and maintain application stability.

Native Nutanix Experience

The management interface mirrors the Nutanix Prism environment, meaning administrators can manage backups using familiar terminology and workflows without learning new tools.

Deep Integration with Nutanix Services

Immutably integrates with the broader Nutanix ecosystem including Files, Objects and Nutanix Database services, enabling complete protection of the entire platform.

Agentless Application Discovery

Automatically detect applications running within virtual machines without installing agents or performing manual configuration.

Rapid Deployment

The platform can be deployed as a virtual appliance in minutes, allowing organisations to begin protecting workloads almost immediately.

Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage

Ransomware attacks frequently target backup systems to prevent recovery. Immutably protects backups using immutable storage capabilities, ensuring backup data cannot be altered or deleted by malicious actors.

Simplified Operations
