I had the opportunity to speak with Wendy Pfeiffer, CTO at Nutanix, Inc. today following the announcement extending the Xi Frame desktop-as-a-service solution from the public cloud to the private cloud, enabling the delivery of apps and desktops in a hybrid cloud environment.
According to Wendy, the ability to build clusters on EC to bare metal is the big news in this release in that addresses the challenge of developers who've had to choose how to develop for the clouds or infrastructures they were developing for.
