Nutanix - ServiceNow Integration Use Case

If your organization is using Nutanix to manage your hyperconverged infrastructure, and also ServiceNow to manage IT requests and issues, you might see lots of benefits from integrating the two systems.

There are two following common scenarios.

Nutanix is managing virtual machines that are not present in ServiceNow Servers topology. ZigiOps automatically detects them and inserts the missing machines in ServiceNow. The integration platform performs regular checks and enriches the ServiceNow topology whenever there are new virtual devices.

ZigiOps delivers alerts discovered by Nutanix directly into ServiceNow. With the conditional field mapping and filtering, you can easily set which alarms go where. ZigiOps can enter them in ServiceNow as events, incidents or problems, depending on your specific requirements. Data is automatically updated whenever there are changes in the Nutanix alerts. When an alert is closed in ServiceNow, ZigiOps automatically closes it in Nutanix, too.
