Nutanix Certified Associate Practice Exam

Which three types of AOS licenses are available?

1. Enterprise

2. Ultimate

3. Standard

4. Pro

The correct answer is: Ultimate

The available AOS (Acropolis Operating System) licenses are categorized primarily into three distinct tiers: Standard, Pro, and Ultimate. Each tier offers varied features and functionalities suited for different organizational needs and use cases. The Ultimate license provides the highest level of features and capabilities, including advanced data services, enhanced management options, and robust performance support. This license is tailored for enterprises that require comprehensive solutions to maximize their infrastructure's value, allowing them full access to the capabilities of Nutanix's platform. In contrast, the other licenses—Standard and Pro—offer more basic to mid-level functionality, which may not include some of the advanced features that the Ultimate license provides. The Standard license typically covers fundamental virtualization and management capabilities sufficient for smaller or less complex environments, while the Pro license may add some mid-tier features but still does not match the full extent of the Ultimate offering. Understanding these license options is crucial for organizations as they evaluate their IT strategies and determine the level of functionality they need from their Nutanix environment. The decision will ultimately depend on their specific requirements, growth expectations, and the overall scale of their operations.
