Overview

The HCL BigFix endpoint management platform provides Nutanix customers with a single pane of glass to manage every endpoint in the enterprise, including the ability to streamline Nutanix endpoint management processes, consolidate management tools, ensure continuous compliance, and deliver intelligent automation.

HCL BigFix can remediate guest VMs faster than any other solution, delivering greater than 98% first-pass patch success rates. Additionally, HCL BigFix helps IT Operations to deploy software, leverage server automation, inventory software licenses, and remotely control desktops. HCL BigFix can help secure and protect endpoints running on Nutanix by leveraging the thousands of out-of-the-box security checks, ensuring continuous compliance that helps prevent ransomware and other cyberattacks.

Nutanix customers can also provide sub-capacity reports of guest VMs using HCL BigFix Inventory. By integrating HCL BigFix and the Nutanix Hypervisor, sub-capacity information of guest VMs can be collected and uploaded to the HCL BigFix Inventory database for subsequent reporting purposes.

Recently, the HCL BigFix Platform and core modules have received Nutanix-ready AVH certification, permitting the installation of the HCL BigFix Enterprise Server, relays, consoles and modules on guest VMs running on Nutanix. HCL BigFix Lifecycle, BigFix Compliance and HCL BigFix Inventory have been thoroughly tested to run on Nutanix offering greater versatility and performance for HCL BigFix deployments.
