What are Nutanix’s strategies to improve AI adoption?

My role is basically to create the AI ​​strategy and figure out how we should help our customers. But over time, as we tried to create better AI solutions, we realized that our AI strategy is essentially three-dimensional. The first dimension is AI on Nutanix, which is the best platform for running AI workloads on the Nutanix platform. Next up is AI at Nutanix, for example, how do we use AI and generative AI agents to improve our products? And then the third is AI at Nutanix, which involves how we use AI within our company to be more effective and upskill employees.


A couple of years ago, we were a little skeptical about whether AI can be used for coding. They were the first days. But now, a large fraction of our software engineers use it not only for coding, but also for bug triage, design, and all aspects of the software engineering cycle. That’s why we’re improving our processes as we go.
