AMD and Nutanix have signed a multi-year strategic partnership to develop an open, full-stack AI infrastructure platform for agentic AI applications across enterprise, cloud and edge environments.
The collaboration will combine AMD’s processors, GPUs and software with Nutanix’s cloud and Kubernetes platforms. The partners are positioning the project as an alternative to vertically integrated AI stacks, emphasising choice across models, tools and deployment locations.
AMD plans a USD $250 million commitment, split between an equity investment and funding for joint work. It will invest USD $150 million in Nutanix common stock at a purchase price of USD $36.26 per share, and fund up to USD $100 million for engineering initiatives and go-to-market collaboration.
The equity investment is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Platform roadmap
The partnership centres on a joint roadmap to integrate AMD ROCm and AMD Enterprise AI software into the Nutanix Cloud Platform and Nutanix Kubernetes Platform. Nutanix software will be optimised to run on AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct GPUs, with support from a broad set of OEM server providers.
ROCm is AMD’s software stack for GPU computing and AI workloads. EPYC is its server processor range, while Instinct is its data centre GPU line. Nutanix provides software for building and managing hybrid cloud environments, including virtualisation,…
