Nutanix NX Platforms

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The ninth generation NX platforms are based on the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) and 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ (code-named Genoa) processors and provide customers with a high degree of configuration flexibility, including over memory, storage and GPU options.
