‘It’s about basically taking our Nutanix Cloud Platform, our Kubernetes Platform, and our AMD Enterprise AI software, getting them all to work on top of AMD accelerated compute hardware. So servers using AMD GPUs effectively, and bringing that solution to market. As part of that, AMD is doing two things. They’re investing in buying $150 million worth of Nutanix common stock. The second thing they’re doing is they’re funding us up to $100 million in a combination of both R&D to bring the platform to market, and go-to-market efforts,’ says Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami.
AMD and Nutanix Wednesday said they have signed a multi-year strategic partnership aimed at developing what they called an open, full-stack AI infrastructure platform specifically for agentic AI applications.
As part of the agreement, AMD will purchase $150 million in Nutanix common stock at $36.26 per share. AMD will also fund up to $100 million for Nutanix to help with joint engineering initiatives and go-to-market collaboration.
The move comes as Nutanix evolves into what it calls a platform company. Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami in August told CRN his company wanted to become a “de facto platform” that would let customers run applications and manage data regardless of where it resides.
