Nutanix is using this week’s Nutanix .NEXT conference to introduce a complete agentic AI platform, solidify new partnerships with leading storage vendors Everpure and NetApp, and show its determination to migrate customers away from arch-rival VMware with a big push to help its channel partners work in multi-tenant environments.
Hybrid multi-cloud computing and hyperconverged infrastructure technology developer Nutanix Tuesday opened its Nutanix .NEXT conference with multiple changes to its product offerings aimed at helping channel partners and customers explore new ways to not only advance their cloud and AI agendas but also more easily migrate off the competitive VMware platform.
