Product Support Programs

Support programs for a wide range of organizations

Nutanix’s product support programs* are designed to meet the needs of any size organization, from small and midsize businesses (SMB) that may have limited operations and constrained resources, to large enterprises that operate business and mission-critical 24×7 operations.

NON-RETURNABLE DISK DRIVE PROGRAM

When HDDs or SSDs require replacement, you may want to keep your drives in-house to protect your data in order to comply with data security compliance regulations. Nutanix offers a Non-Returnable Disk Drive (NRDK) option, which eliminates the need to return defective disk drives. The program applies to all existing models of the Nutanix product. Customers are responsible for disposing of the replaced disk drives in agreement with their own data security compliance requirements and other applicable laws.

  • NRDK can be purchased as a 1 or 3-year contract and is available for all Nutanix product models
  • NRDK must be purchased per block
  • The NRDK option is only available for purchase in conjunction with one of Nutanix’s support programs
