Nutanix Engineering & Installation in Southern California
Consolidate compute and storage into a resilient HCI platform with unified operations. WCC designs and operates Nutanix clusters—AOS, AHV, Prism management, microsegmentation, files/objects/volumes, and DR orchestration—serving Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
Why Nutanix with WCC
HCI reduces complexity, improves uptime, and speeds operations—when it’s designed to your performance, growth, and governance targets. We pair Nutanix software with right-sized nodes, networks, and runbooks for predictable outcomes.
Simplified Operations
Unified lifecycle management, visibility, and automation so small teams can run enterprise platforms confidently.
- Prism-driven monitoring and capacity planning
- Policy-based upgrades and maintenance windows
- Right-sized clusters and growth projections
Security & Resilience
Design for fault tolerance and least privilege from day one—backed by documented procedures and recovery tests.
- Microsegmentation patterns & RBAC
- Protection policies & cross-cluster replication
- Recovery runbooks and periodic drills
Architectures We Build
Reference designs tuned for your SLAs and scale—from Healthcare to Education and public sector.
Core/Edge HCI
Standardized node builds and images across data centers and remote sites.
Virtualization with AHV
Leverage AHV for integrated ops, or interoperate with existing hypervisors.
Files, Objects & Volumes
Scale-out storage for user data, backups, and application needs.
Database & App Stacks
Consistent patterns for app-consistent backups and lifecycle tasks.
Kubernetes Platforms
Deploy and manage container platforms with sensible networking and storage.
DR & Orchestration
Protection domains, runbooks, and isolated recovery workflows.

Nutanix FAQs
How do you size Nutanix clusters?
We profile CPU, memory, storage, and IO patterns for current workloads, then model growth and HA domains. Node mix and storage policies are chosen to meet performance and resilience targets without over-provisioning.
Can we use AHV if we already run another hypervisor?
Yes. Many customers standardize on AHV for integrated operations while keeping specific hosts on an existing hypervisor for specialty apps. We design interop and migration paths that avoid disruption.
How is security enforced on the platform?
We implement least-privilege RBAC, hardened management access, and microsegmentation patterns for east-west control. Changes are governed via documented procedures, reviews, and audit logs.
What does DR look like on Nutanix?
Protection policies define RPO/RTO and replication between sites. We maintain runbooks for failover/failback and run isolated recovery tests to validate outcomes—logged and tracked for compliance.
How do you handle upgrades and lifecycle?
We schedule policy-based upgrades during maintenance windows, validate health before/after, and keep images consistent across clusters. With managed services, lifecycle and capacity planning are handled proactively.
What do we receive at handoff?
As-built diagrams, configuration exports, access/role maps, capacity and growth plans, DR runbooks, and routine operations procedures. We complete a live admin walkthrough and knowledge transfer.
