Nutanix, a leader in hybrid cloud computing, has announced its acquisition of Ryax Technologies (Ryax), an AI-driven compute orchestration and management platform company based in France. 

The acquisition will accelerate Nutanix’s strategy to empower enterprises to build, run, and govern agentic AI anywhere by integrating the Ryax platform’s advanced GPU utilization and smart scheduling capabilities directly into Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) and Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI).

The rapid expansion of agentic AI is driving up the demand for efficient inference workloads across the enterprise. However, GPU shortages and fragmented infrastructure have led many organizations to split their compute footprint across private data centers, hyperscalers, and neoclouds to find available capacity. 

To make these deployments economically viable, enterprises need a unified hybrid cloud operating model that abstracts this complexity, simplifies operations, and maximizes hardware efficiency.

Additionally, enterprises today often struggle to move AI projects from experimentation into production because of the significant infrastructure integration and manual configuration required. 

The Ryax platform is designed to…
