Nutanix Xi Government Cloud Got Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program Authorization

Nutanix, Inc. announced that its Xi Government Cloud has achieved the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorized designation at the moderate security impact level.

Xi Government Cloud includes Xi Frame, a multi-cloud desktop-as-a-service platform, and Xi Beam, a hybrid cloud cost governance tool on the market.

The Xi Government Cloud is built for US Federal government customers and is operated by Nutanix in compliance with US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). As part of this, Xi Frame is a DaaS platform that supports remote desktops running in AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and Google Cloud FedRAMP regions, as well as on premises desktops using Nutanix AHV.

Additionally, Xi Beam, a multi-cloud cost optimization and governance service, supports consolidated resource management, spend visibility and cost optimization for agencies of all sizes on both public and private clouds.

By accelerating the adoption of secure cloud solutions through reuse of assessments and authorizations, FedRAMP is an advantage for customers, as it provides a uniform approach to risk-based security management. This saves federal agencies cost, time and resources. Xi Government Cloud’s authorization delivers multi-cloud DaaS and cost governance solutions and allows federal agencies to support and expand telework capabilities for personnel across a variety of external networks.

“Achieving the FedRAMP authorization for our Xi Government Cloud offerings, Xi Frame and Xi Beam, allows us to deliver new solutions to federal agencies that need to quickly and securely expand telework capabilities, while also managing the costs and governance of their cloud resources,” said Chris Howard, VP of US Federal sales. “With federal agencies adjusting to remote work environments, they will be able to access the same seamless hybrid cloud environments and security provided by internal networks from remote locations.“

The Xi Government Cloud is positioned to help agencies offer telework capabilities to more employees, over an extended period of time. Xi Frame will enable federal agencies to trust that their sensitive data is secure at all times and to expand their work from home policies to include more personnel. Xi Beam will also allow agencies to more closely manage cloud cost, as they look to cloud solutions to provide flexibility during this time.

Xi Government Cloud has completed a security assessment and authorization at a moderate security impact level of 325 controls. The FedRAMP moderate control baseline equates to a DoD Impact Level 2.
