Lee Caswell, senior vice president of product and solutions marketing at Nutanix, shared insights into the company’s latest plans at the Next 2024 event in Barcelona. Nutanix aims to deliver new and modern Kubernetes orchestrated applications to meet the evolving needs of CIOs who are increasingly investing in application monetization. The company recently acquired D2IQ to enhance its offerings in large-scale containers within different development environments.
Nutanix is positioning itself as a preferred partner for organizations looking to standardize Kubernetes and choose a suitable developer environment. By collaborating with partners like Red Hat and Open Shift, Nutanix offers customers the flexibility to select a development environment that extends features such as open databases and large language models (LLM). This strategic approach aims to provide business resilience and choice to customers.
In the realm of AI, Nutanix is partnering with Nvidia to support Nvidia’s containerized microservices and proprietary LLMs. Additionally, a partnership with HuggingFace provides access to a range of LLM models to assist customers in developing AI applications through API models. These partnerships accelerate the deployment of AI applications and enable customers to leverage cutting-edge technologies.
Expanding into the public cloud, Nutanix has established relationships with Microsoft Azure and AWS. The company’s Project Beacon showcases how its storage stack can run on public and private cloud hypervisors, demonstrating the capabilities of a cloud-native AOS running on EKS. This expansion into cloud platforms enhances Nutanix’s cloud offerings and provides customers with greater flexibility in choosing their infrastructure.
In the realm of data analytics and cybersecurity, Nutanix is enabling high-performance platforms and software-defined architectures to enhance security measures. The company’s focus on anticipating customer shifts, particularly with the projected exodus of VMWare customers, underscores its commitment to meeting evolving market demands.
To drive Nutanix adoption, the company is collaborating with partners like Cisco to enable customers to access Nutanix products on existing hardware. Initiatives such as the B and X series compute-ready nodes aim to streamline the migration process for customers looking to switch from other providers. Channel promotions like the Launch Pad and Surge Program incentivize partners to bring new customers to Nutanix.
On the modernization front, Nutanix is introducing enterprise features for AHV, including Multi-Sight for compliance and secure snapshot services for regulated environments. The company’s partnerships with EDB and GPT in a box service further enhance its capabilities in managing large-scale environments and accelerating application deployment.
Innovation remains a key pillar for Nutanix, with initiatives like Project Beacon and GPT in a box 2.0 focused on meeting the needs of cloud-native users and enterprise AI applications. Support for high-capacity file storage and advanced AI applications underscores Nutanix’s commitment to providing comprehensive solutions for its customers.
Overall, Nutanix’s diverse pillars of adoption, modernization, and innovation underscore the company’s dedication to meeting customer priorities across a wide range of technologies and industries. By partnering with leading technology firms and continuously evolving its offerings, Nutanix aims to remain at the forefront of digital transformation and enterprise solutions.
