Nutanix Practice Areas

// nutanix-aos-ahv

Nutanix AOS / AHV

PGTEK architects and deploys the full Nutanix Acropolis Operating System stack, leveraging the AHV hypervisor to deliver carrier-grade HCI performance on certified federal hardware platforms. Our engineers design clusters to meet federal high-availability mandates, STIG requirements, and zero-trust network segmentation standards. From initial node sizing through production cutover, PGTEK owns the full deployment lifecycle.

  • HCI cluster architecture, sizing, and bill-of-materials validation
  • AHV hypervisor deployment and hardening per DISA STIG guidance
  • N+1 and N+2 node fault-tolerance configuration for mission-critical workloads
  • Rack-and-stack, cabling, and IPMI out-of-band management setup
  • Foundation imaging, cluster initialization, and acceptance testing
// nutanix-cloud-manager

Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM)

PGTEK implements Nutanix Cloud Manager to give federal program offices unified visibility, cost governance, and policy-driven automation across on-premises HCI clusters and hybrid cloud extensions. NCM enables agencies to enforce spending boundaries, right-size underutilized workloads, and generate cost-attribution reports aligned to government fiscal frameworks. Our consultants configure NCM policies tailored to the compliance and budget constraints of each program.

  • Multi-cloud cost visibility and chargeback reporting by organization unit
  • Automated policy enforcement for resource quotas and rightsizing recommendations
  • Workload optimization analysis across AHV, AWS GovCloud, and Azure Government
  • Security policy orchestration and governance workflow integration
  • Lifecycle automation for VM provisioning, decommission, and patch compliance
// nutanix-prism

Nutanix Prism

PGTEK configures and operationalizes both Prism Element and Prism Central to establish a unified management plane across distributed federal HCI environments, including air-gapped and classified network segments. Our team enables one-click cluster upgrades, lifecycle management automation, and capacity planning dashboards customized for federal operations centers. Prism Central deployments are scoped to support multi-cluster, multi-site visibility without requiring internet connectivity.

  • Prism Central deployment in connected and air-gapped federal environments
  • One-click LCM lifecycle upgrades for AOS, AHV, firmware, and add-ons
  • Capacity runway dashboards and forecast modeling for budget cycles
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) integration with Active Directory and CAC/PIV
  • Alert and event integration with SIEM platforms and NOC ticketing systems
// nutanix-files-objects

Nutanix Files & Objects

PGTEK deploys Nutanix Files and Nutanix Objects as software-defined storage services running natively on HCI, enabling federal agencies to retire legacy NAS and SAN infrastructure without sacrificing performance or compliance posture. Files provides SMB and NFS protocol support for file share consolidation across enterprise and mission workloads, while Objects delivers S3-compatible object storage for large-scale unstructured data and backup targets. Both solutions are tuned to meet federal data residency and encryption-at-rest mandates.

  • SMB 3.0 and NFS 4.1 file services deployment for agency shared drives
  • S3-compatible object store for backup, archival, and cloud-native workloads
  • Data-at-rest encryption and FIPS 140-2 validated key management integration
  • Legacy NAS/SAN decommission planning and data migration execution
  • Tiered storage policy configuration aligned to federal data classification requirements
// nutanix-migration

Nutanix Migration Services

PGTEK leads VMware-to-AHV migration engagements for federal agencies seeking to reduce hypervisor licensing costs and consolidate on a fully integrated HCI stack. Using the Nutanix Move tool and a proven migration methodology, PGTEK delivers zero-downtime cutovers for production workloads including mission-critical databases, collaboration platforms, and classified systems. Every migration engagement begins with a workload assessment and ends with a validated operational handoff.

  • VMware vSphere to AHV migration planning, wave scheduling, and execution
  • Nutanix Move tool deployment, configuration, and cutover orchestration
  • Pre-migration workload dependency mapping and application compatibility assessment
  • Zero-downtime migration runbooks for production federal environments
  • Post-migration validation, performance benchmarking, and documentation delivery
// nutanix-dr-daas

Nutanix DRaaS / Disaster Recovery

PGTEK designs and implements disaster recovery solutions for federal agencies using Nutanix Xi Leap and native AOS replication capabilities, ensuring continuity for both classified and unclassified mission workloads. Our DR architects define RPO and RTO objectives in alignment with federal COOP and FIPS continuity requirements, then build automated runbooks that can execute failover with minimal human intervention. PGTEK conducts quarterly DR tests and maintains recovery documentation aligned to agency FISMA authorization boundaries.

  • Xi Leap DRaaS configuration for near-synchronous replication to Nutanix-managed cloud
  • On-premises async and sync replication between primary and secondary federal sites
  • Automated failover and failback runbook development and testing
  • RPO/RTO analysis and SLA definition for classified and CUI data sets
  • COOP-aligned DR testing cadence and ATO-supporting documentation packages
