Nutanix is hiring at least dozens of new employees as it builds a new agentic AI center in Vancouver, British Columbia, along with forming a new security integration partnership with Palo Alto Networks.


Nutanix is looking at potentially hiring hundreds of new positions in Vancouver, British Columbia, as it builds out a new agentic AI center in the region, while also forming a new AI security partnership with Palo Alto Networks, as customer demand for Nutanix offerings continues.

Ehtan Simmons, CEO of solution provider PTP, said Nutanix building a new AI center focused on cloud computing and agentic AI innovation is the right move as adoption for Nutanix offerings continues to rise.

“We’re just seeing a ton of Nutanix Kubernetes adoption,” said Simmons, CEO of the Norwood, Mass.-based Nutanix partner.

“There’s a lot of activity in the marketplace. From an industry standpoint, we’re seeing a lot of activity there as people continue to hedge their bets against Broadcom-VMware, or try to distance themselves from Broadcom,” he said.

San Jose, Calif.-based Nutanix currently has approximately 31,000 customers as of second-quarter 2026, compared with around 27,800 during the same quarter one year ago.
