Nutanix Cloud Platform Breaks Down Silos In Hybrid Multicloud Operations

* AOS Version 6 and New Platform Innovations Deliver Enterprise-Grade Virtualization with Virtual Networking, Security and BCDR

Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, today announced new features in the Nutanix®  Cloud Platform, including the launch of AOS™ version 6 software, to help enterprises build modern, software-defined data centers and speed their hybrid multicloud deployments. Through these new features, enterprises will get powerful built-in virtual networking, enhanced disaster recovery, and simplified zero-trust security that otherwise would require additional specialized hardware, software, and skills. Most importantly, due to the integrated nature of the Nutanix Cloud Platform, all functionality is managed through a single interface significantly decreasing operational overhead.

“Our customers are looking for cloud solutions that can adapt to their needs, with a focus on simplicity, flexibility and freedom to choose the right technology for each situation,” said Rajiv Mirani, Chief Technology Officer at Nutanix. “The Nutanix Cloud Platform continues to break down common silos within IT teams with the goals of simplifying operations so customers can focus on business needs. With these new features, we focused on addressing the common challenges many enterprises face in hybrid multicloud environments, including security, DR and virtual networking.”

Simplified Virtual Private Cloud Across Hybrid Multicloud

Nutanix AOS 6 can now deliver Flow Networking™一a Network Virtualization offering on the AHV® hypervisor that enables customers to simplify their networking through a software-defined single pane of glass management. Enterprises and service providers can now easily create Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) to offer their users a cloud-like agility with minimal dependency on hardware switches and routers.

Flow Networking also offers VPN capabilities which allow customers to bridge and extend their virtual networks to any public and private cloud infrastructure. Ability to provision cloud connectivity on demand, without needing dedicated physical appliances and other complex configurations, further reduce cost and simplify operations for the customers.

Expanded Access for Enterprise-Grade Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Customers adopting the Nutanix Cloud Platform with AOS 6 gain access to new Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) capabilities previously only found in specialized solutions. Built into AOS 6 is the ability to leverage the public cloud as a secondary site, native metro clustering support for the built-in AHV hypervisor enabling automatic failover in the event of a disaster, as well as end-to-end encryption capabilities for DR traffic. In addition, a new DR dashboard provides a comprehensive view into customers’ DR configuration and status across primary and secondary sites. These capabilities enable enterprises to eliminate specialized DR hardware and software, reduce licensing costs, improve recovery time, simplify their operations, and potentially eliminate expensive hot-standby secondary sites. It enables mid-size companies that might not have had the budget or skills to implement robust DR capabilities to better protect their businesses from disasters.

Automated Zero-Trust Security Policies

More and more organizations are looking to adopt a Zero-Trust approach to security, but developing policies that are both efficient and effective can be a significant hurdle, particularly for environments that span public and private clouds. Upcoming features in the Nutanix Cloud Platform, as part of the Flow Security Central™ SaaS platform, eliminate this common challenge by automatically creating Flow microsegmentation policies through a machine learning-based planning engine that analyzes an organization’s network traffic and recommends security policies to protect virtual-machine workloads against potential attacks.

Additionally, the Nutanix Cloud Platform will deliver integration with Qualys’ industry leading vulnerability management detection and response (VMDR) solution to empower customers to streamline security patching efforts with virtual machine-centric threat detection and vulnerability risk visualization capabilities. Enhanced protection in Nutanix Files will help detect and prevent against 4000+ known ransomware attack signatures with the ability to deliver new signatures dynamically. Finally, Nutanix AOS, AHV, and Files products are now approved for placement on the Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products List (APL) after successfully completing rigorous cybersecurity and interoperability testing. 

“India’s enterprises realize that the cloud is an operating model that can help keep pace with rapid regulatory changes, interoperability requirements and it provides round-the-clock flexibility that is crucial for businesses today. Many organizations ( e.g  Arihant Capital) have already implemented Nutanix Flow to deliver advanced networking and security services. With these additional updates, our customers in India will have greater simplicity and flexibility with their hybrid multicloud environments,“ said Balakrishnan Anantharaman, Managing Director, Sales – India, Nutanix.

 “AOS 6 along with virtual networking and security innovations in the Nutanix Cloud Platforms deliver an enterprise-ready, end-to-end platform to run any application, including the most critical ones, on-premises and in public cloud,” said Eric Sheppard, Research Vice President, IDC Infrastructure Platforms and Technologies Group. “The new features address many of the demands of enterprise customers looking to gain efficiency and reliability across clouds, to support their needs now and in the future.”

Virtual networking and enterprise-grade DR features are currently available to customers; security improvements are currently under development.

Moov Launches Its New Campaign- ‘Zindagi Ke Beech Dard Na Aaye’

* Campaign focuses on women who push their boundaries to achieve their dreams

Moov, India’s No. 1 pain relief cream brand launched its new campaign- ‘Zindagi Ke Beech Dard Na Aaye.’ The two films for the two brand variants - Moov and Moov Strong aim to inspire women across ages to pursue their dreams and aspirations where body pain will not be a deterrent in any way. The films with a strong women narrative also highlight how families can help one another fulfil their ambitions.

Moov since its launch in India in 1986 has been supporting women and identifying their needs for products which can help them push boundaries. The brand with its wide appeal with both men and women is looking to support individuals who are pushing themselves beyond a point leading to discomfort and body pain. It has been striving to ‘Moov Up’ and help every person who is dealing with physical pain with a product that can help them feel better and to lead a pain free life. Moov launched its variant with Diclofenac sodium in 2019 to address acute pain that helps provide quick relief.  

Mr. Dilen Gandhi, Regional Marketing Director, South Asia – Health & Nutrition, Reckitt, “Since its launch, Moov ads have been focused on women who would stop at nothing, no matter what challenges or pain they encounter in their path to reach and fulfil their ambitions. This campaign yet again is a celebration of women and families who stand by each other and come back ‘Strong’er despite any hurdles that they may face. While our products can be effectively used by any individual experiencing pain, our ads in a small way pay a tribute to all those women who constantly do that extra bit to make their own dreams and the dreams of their loved ones come true.”

Mr. Kapil Batra, Creative Head, Delhi, McCann Worldgroup, “Moov has always believed that pain should never come in the way of our pursuits. Continuing with this thought, our new campaign is an ode to today’s woman, who would like to chase goals come what may. The two stories capture this and shows how Moov enables our women protagonists to live their life just the way they want to, i.e. being unstoppable.”

Moov, with these two carefully crafted narratives for Moov and Moov ‘Strong’ is looking to strike a chord with women and men who realise the contribution of a woman in their lives.

The new film for Moov is an emotional take on how mothers push their boundaries to ensure that their children achieve their dreams and nothing including their own pain will stop them from doing their bit. The Moov Strong TVC showcases a brother-sister relationship where the sister’s sprained ankle prevents her from competing in a bike rally. Both ads have their families coming together to care for them and highlight how with Moov’s warmth, life does not stop. The tagline ‘Zindagi Ke Beech Dard Na Aaye’ being very apt in both commercials.

Mphasis Ltd: Blink UX To Strengthen Experience Offerings And Hi-Tech Business

HOLD

CMP: Rs3197  |  Target Price: Rs2900

■    Mphasis has acquired Blink UX, a US-based user experience research, strategy, and design firm, for a cash consideration of up to USD94mn (~2.7x EV/Sales on a CY21E basis), including earn-outs. Blink UX works with some of the world's leading enterprises to create transformative digital products, brands, and experiences.

■    Deal rationale: The acquisition of Blink will boost Mphasis's experience competencies with end-to-end capabilities in user experience research, strategy, design, and implementation. Blink also brings marquee logos (Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, NASA, Dell, HP, T-Mobile, etc.) in technology and consumer industries, with an average ~10-year relationship and strong synergy potential in the Hi-Tech and BFS verticals. The acquisition is expected to be revenue-accretive and in line with Mphasis's Front2Back transformation and growth strategy. Management indicated that Mphasis Tribes and Services that benefit from Blink contributed ~70% of its FY21 deal pipeline. It will help Mphasis to expand the addressable market in its Direct accounts, which augurs well for growing revenue from these accounts. The integration of Blink's leadership team will further strengthen Mphasis's leadership team as well.

■    Deal structure and timeline: Mphasis Corporation, USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mphasis, has signed the definitive agreement in nature of agreement for Plan of Merger between Mphasis Corporation and Blink Interactive, Inc. The acquisition was closed on September 21, 2021.

■    Financials: Blink is expected to post revenues of USD33-35mn for CY21. It has delivered ~42% revenue CAGR over CY17-20 (partly aided by small acquisitions). The acquisition is margin-accretive on a standalone basis (it operates at higher gross margins than Mphasis's ~30% and even slightly better EBITDAM/EBITM). However, intangible amortization charges and performance-based retention costs are expected to impact combined entity EBITM by ~100bps for the first two years (~USD15-17mn impact each year). Management indicated that both these factors would evenly contribute in the first two years, assuming amortization of intangibles over five years and retention payment costs in the next two years.

■    Brief profile of Blink UX: Blink Interactive, Inc., headquartered in Seattle, Washington, was founded in 2000 and provides design consultancy services around user experience, user research-based software product design and strategy, and customer experience design for marquee brands. Blink has over two decades of expertise using its Evidence-driven Design process to define digital user experiences for clients. Blink has more than 130 employees and has additional studios in Austin, Boston, San Diego, and San Francisco. It had 65 clients as of CY20 and ~90% of its revenues came from born-digital companies and the rest from BFS, consumer, telecom, and other verticals.

■    Our view: The acquisition will add marquee logos in Hi-Tech and expand Mphasis's design & experience capabilities. TAM for the upstream user research, strategy and design is estimated to be USD24bn and is growing at 25-30% p.a., i.e., 4-5x the overall IT services market. Cross-selling opportunities among the existing client base and access to marquee logos augur well for revenue growth in the medium term. Given the size of the acquisition (1-2% revenue accretion/2-3% EBIT cut due to retention payment and amortization charges in FY22), we do not expect any meaningful revision to our earnings estimates. We have a Hold rating on the stock with a TP of Rs2,900 (29x Sept'23E EPS).

Salesforce Launches Health Cloud 2.0, A Connected Platform To Help Deliver Health And Safety From Anywhere

* With Health Cloud 2.0, any business or government can bring people together more safely and deliver care from anywhere, helping support the health of employees, customers, and communities

Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced Health Cloud 2.0, technology designed to empower businesses and governments to deliver better health and safety for their employees, customers, and communities. 

As we navigate a future that’s a hybrid of digital, in-person, and on-site, focus has shifted to ensuring health, safety, and effective business operations in the new normal — which is key to building trust and business continuity. Now, COVID-19 testing, vaccination, contact tracing, wellness assessments, and delivering healthcare from multiple settings are critical as organizations in every industry are looking for ways to be together safely with their customers and employees. 

Salesforce understands these needs intuitively. This week the company is deploying Dreampass, a new part of the Health Cloud 2.0 portfolio, at its three-day, hybrid digital and in-person Dreamforce conference. Dreampass enables robust and scalable COVID-19 safety protocols for in-person attendees, including managing proof of vaccination, integrating with testing vendors, and delivering automated personalized communications throughout the process to help ensure a safer environment for attendees, staff, and the community.  

“Every company is eager to be together safely with their customers, prospects, employees, and partners as they look to get back to growth and combat digital fatigue”, said Sarah Franklin, President and Chief Marketing Officer, Salesforce. “We built Dreampass, powered by Health Cloud 2.0, to bring our community together safely in San Francisco for a special in-person experience unlike anything else in the world.”

Empowering connected experiences for health and work

The Health Cloud 2.0 portfolio of products will be available to any business in any sector: 

Dreampass is designed to help deliver safer in-person events for employees, customers, and communities. Capabilities including attendee registration management, COVID-19 vaccine and/or testing status verification and testing vendor integration to help issue testing kits. Dreampass then allows admission upon integrated test results with a personalized QR code. In the case of protocol changes or possible exposure, notifications and messaging also can be sent to the attendee directly.

Contact tracing allows organizations to manually contact trace more safely and securely by collecting only limited, necessary data from individuals who are infected or potentially exposed and creating visual maps of contacts to monitor for potential outbreaks.

Vaccine management helps governments and organizations manage vaccine programs at scale quickly, including inventory management, appointment scheduling, outcome monitoring, public health notifications, and more.

Value-based care from anywhere enables healthcare organizations to personalize patient experiences and deliver hybrid healthcare experiences in multiple care settings. It is also designed to help bring care teams together to achieve better patient outcomes, helping to improve business productivity and public health operations.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve made it a priority to address this global crisis, sourcing 60 million pieces of personal protective equipment for hospitals around the world, providing contract tracing for millions of people, and powering the delivery and administration of over 100 million doses of vaccines,” said Kevin Riley, SVP and GM, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Salesforce. “With Health Cloud 2.0, we're continuing to enhance our capabilities around care from anywhere, digital health credentialing, contact tracing, vaccine management, and more so that employees, customers, and communities can succeed in the new normal.”

TVS Motor Company Releases ‘A Silent Revolution’, A Book To Mark 25 Years Of Srinivasan Services Trust’s Work In Rural Development

 

*   The book is published by HarperCollins India and authored by Ms. Snigdha Parupudi

*    The book unveiled by Thiru M.K. Stalin, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu

Commemorating 25 years of its journey, Srinivasan Services Trust (SST), the social arm of Sundaram-Clayton Limited and TVS Motor Company, announced the release of the book - ‘A Silent Revolution- The Journey of the Srinivasan Services Trust’.  Published by HarperCollins India, the book is authored by Ms. Snigdha Parupudi, who has crafted an empathetic narrative around rural communities who have completely transformed their lives to become self-sufficient and empowered. The book was unveiled by Thiru M.K.Stalin, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu. The first book was presented to Thiru M.K. Stalin, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu by Mr. Venu Srinivasan.

‘A Silent Revolution- The Journey of the Srinivasan Services Trust’ introduces readers to SST’s inspiring journey of being an enabler of this transformational change in underserved rural communities. The story shares inspiring examples of how SST has been consistently working towards enhancing the socio-economic status of the underprivileged in rural India. The book also chronicles the exemplary interventions of the Trust across six key pillars: economic development, environment, social & cultural development, infrastructure, healthcare, and education, helping improve the lives of rural communities.

Mr. Venu Srinivasan, Chairman, TVS Motor Company & Managing Trustee, Srinivasan Services Trust, said, “Twenty-five years ago when we set up SST, we were not quite sure how our social work would shape up. Our premise was centred around the group's guiding values of maintaining Trust, building Value, and being of Service to the community. We wanted to be enablers of sustainable development. This book  is a testament to the dignity, prosperity and hope that Srinivasan Services Trust has created by working tirelessly with local communities.  I express my heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Snigdha Parupudi, who, through this book, has created a window into this transformation.’’

Underlining the philosophy of TVS Motor Company and its founders, the book encapsulates SST’s patient and progressive approach thatadopts management concepts to create self-sufficient and prosperous rural communities. The author has also beautifully captured anecdotes from beneficiaries and SST’s field staff, which provides a ringside view on how positive change happens and what is needed for the transformation.

Mr. Srinivasan further added, “Just like the tiny drops of water that finally flow in the mighty river Amazon, it is not the hundreds of people working in SST, it is the thousands of people in the villages working for themselves who make this powerful change possible. That is what we are really harnessing.  My hope, as we keep expanding our footprint in villages, is that our work will inspire other business groups to explore our programme of scalable, sustainable development for those who need it the most.”

Ms. Snigdha Parupudi, Author, ‘‘A Silent Revolution- The Journey of the Srinivasan Services Trust’ said, “In the course of writing this book, I have been moved by the power and simplicity of the work being done by the Srinivasan Services Trust. It has been a privilege to spend time with SST’s staff and the resilient communities they work with. There’s an old-world sincerity that I associate with TVS Motor Company that runs through SST. What they have accomplished in such a quiet, understated manner is nothing short of revolutionary. Today, more than ever, I believe the world needs these stories of hope and possibility.”

SST’s model to transform attitudes and change communities empowers India’s underserved – living in its villages, left out of the economic boom of the past few decades. This book comes at a time when Corporate Social Responsibility has the potential to help create a new India. It illustrates just how a pioneering, well-organised programme can change lives for the better. The book will be available on this link at Amazon India.

Profile of Author:

Ms. Snigdha Parupudi grew up in western Canada and Southern India. She is a gold medalist from Madras University and has experience working in the social sector. She is interested in issues of inequality, displacement and urban life, especially their effect on women.
