Cisco FlashStack with Nutanix is a modular converged infrastructure solution combining Nutanix Cloud Platform software, Cisco UCS compute and networking, and Pure Storage all-flash FlashArray. Launched in January, it targets enterprises seeking to escape VMware licensing costs without full hardware replacement. The solution enables independent scaling of compute and storage, standardizes on Ethernet via NVMe/TCP to reduce Fibre Channel SAN dependency, and offers jointly validated configurations from Cisco, Nutanix, Pure Storage, and Intel.
