Nutanix Ready: The power of a certified load balancer

If you are running critical Nutanix environments, our Enterprise load balancers are the definitive go-to for scalable, reliable, and secure application delivery—offering the industry's most cost-effective, high-performance solution for HCI deployments.

Why use a Nutanix-certified load balancer?

Using a Nutanix certified (or Nutanix Ready) load balancer means the software or appliance has been rigorously tested, validated, and optimized by both the vendor and Nutanix to run seamlessly on Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and the Nutanix AHV hypervisor.

While Nutanix features basic built-in Layer 4 network load balancer, integrating a dedicated, certified Layer 4-7 Application Delivery Controller (ADC) provides several distinct technical and operational advantages:

• Guaranteed compatibility: Fully tested on Nutanix AHV to eliminate configuration risks and streamline vendor support.
• Turnkey deployment: Pre-configured virtual appliances enable rapid setup and seamless scaling.
• Advanced traffic control: Unlocks smart Layer 7 routing, precise session persistence, and global load balancing (GSLB).
• Resource optimization: Offloads CPU-heavy tasks like SSL/TLS decryption to free up core Nutanix compute power.
• Frontline security: Adds robust protection against cyber threats with integrated Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and DDoS mitigation.

Real-world validation: Solving the AMD & Nutanix compatibility puzzle

Compatibility on paper doesn't always guarantee performance in production. When Hutt City Council migrated their legacy environment to a combined Nutanix and AMD architecture, they expected a smooth transition. Their legacy load balancer vendor listed Nutanix on their compatibility matrix—yet under testing, the new hypervisor on AMD architecture triggered critical kernel panics.

With a major project on the line, they turned to Loadbalancer.org to solve the issue. We stepped in to provide a stable, seamless solution where legacy vendors failed.

"Good product, filling a niche for combined Nutanix/AMD architecture that others can’t." — Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Hutt City Council
