What is Xi Frame?¶
Frame is a secure cloud platform that lets enterprises and independent software vendors (ISVs) deliver applications, desktops, and software-defined workspaces to users. Users only require a connected device with a modern web browser. There are no clients, downloads, or plugins to install. It is a public cloud-native platform that has recently been adapted for use with private cloud (AHV) contexts. It is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider-agnostic. Organizations can run on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or their on-premises Nutanix AHV cluster through a single management console. Using Xi Frame, organizations can automatically provision and deprovision capacity worldwide and across IaaS providers to adjust to fluctuations in end-user demand.
You can read more about Frame in the Nutanix product solution brief.
