Yes. Sendense backs up Nutanix AHV and migrates VMware to Nutanix or Nutanix to VMware with ongoing replication, controlled cutover and continued protection.
Nutanix AHV is a first-class Sendense platform with the same backup, EBA efficiency, recovery proof and cross-platform benefits as VMware and CloudStack. Sendense connects directly to Prism Element by design; Prism Central is neither required nor used.

Nutanix Outcomes
Sendense gives Nutanix the same complete operating model as VMware and CloudStack across backup, bidirectional replication, recovery validation and migration.
Protect Nutanix AHV directly through Prism Element with full backup, bidirectional replication, recovery and migration workflows.
Give Nutanix recovery points the same EBA deduplication, compression and immutable repository benefits as VMware and CloudStack.
Use Nutanix AHV as the source or target for replication with VMware, Apache CloudStack, OSSEA and Azure, as well as cross-platform recovery and migration.
Use the same AsureDense and clean-room recovery-proof workflows available for VMware and CloudStack before migration or failover.
Two-Way Migration
Sendense treats Nutanix AHV as a full source and target, not a reduced integration. Keep the destination current before cutover, coordinate the final change and continue protection after the workload lands.
Before cutover
Keep VMware workloads synchronized to AHV while production remains online.
At cutover
Coordinate the final change and prepare each workload for the Nutanix target.
After landing
Continue Sendense backup, recovery evidence and EBA retention after landing.
Before cutover
Keep AHV workloads synchronized to VMware before the final migration window.
At cutover
Coordinate the final change and prepare each workload for the VMware target.
After landing
Continue Sendense protection and recovery operations on the destination.
Data Path
Sendense does not use or require Prism Central. Direct Prism Element integration gives Nutanix customers the full Sendense protection, replication and mobility model, including customers who do not run Prism Central.
Connect Sendense directly to Nutanix AHV through Prism Element; Prism Central is not required.
01Discover protected VMs and align them with Sendense policies.
02Capture changed data into the Sendense repository path.
03Reduce, retain and protect recovery points in EBA.
04Restore, migrate or replicate workloads between Nutanix AHV and VMware, Apache CloudStack, OSSEA or Azure.
05Nutanix AHV + Sendense
Protected data becomes portable recovery capacity.
Nutanix AHV can be the source or target for replication with VMware, Apache CloudStack, OSSEA and Azure. Teams can protect, recover and move workloads in either direction without treating AHV as a secondary platform.
Protect Nutanix AHV alongside VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and supported physical Windows server estates.
Build MSP and CSP backup services that include Nutanix AHV workloads.
Use Nutanix as either the source or target for cross-platform replication.
Apply the same EBA efficiency and recovery evidence benefits across Nutanix AHV, VMware and CloudStack workloads.
Nutanix FAQs
Practical answers for teams adding Nutanix AHV to their Sendense protection and migration plans.
Yes. Nutanix AHV is a first-class Sendense platform with full backup, replication, recovery and migration support, alongside the same EBA efficiency and recovery-proof benefits available for VMware and CloudStack.
No. Sendense does not use Prism Central. It connects directly to Prism Element by design, so Nutanix customers without Prism Central receive full support rather than a reduced feature set.
Yes. Nutanix AHV can be either the source or target for replication with VMware, Apache CloudStack, OSSEA and Azure.
Yes. Sendense keeps VMware workloads synchronized to Nutanix AHV before a controlled final cutover, then continues backup and recovery operations on the AHV destination through direct Prism Element integration.
Yes. Nutanix AHV is a full Sendense source, so AHV workloads can remain synchronized to VMware before cutover and continue under Sendense protection after they land.
Yes. Nutanix AHV recovery points can be stored through Sendense EBA, using repository deduplication, compression and immutability.
Yes. MSPs and CSPs can include Nutanix AHV in Sendense backup, replication, DRaaS and migration service designs.
Share your Nutanix AHV estate, retention goals and recovery targets. Sendense can map direct Prism Element integration, EBA repository design and bidirectional cross-platform recovery paths without requiring Prism Central.
