Key Background :

At Nutanix NEXT 2025, the company revealed historic alliances with Nvidia, Pure Storage, and Cisco that ground its strategic position in hybrid multicloud and AI markets. The news follows as companies look for alternatives after VMware’s migration under Broadcom created price and support problems for its existing customers.

Nvidia deal is aimed at boosting the Enterprise AI platform of Nutanix. Nvidia’s AI Enterprise software, NeMo framework, and NIM microservices will be onboarded by Nutanix into its stack. Through the deal, enterprise customers are enabled to deploy and develop generative AI apps securely and in scale in both public and private clouds.

In parallel, Nutanix’s deepening collaboration with Pure Storage delivers high-performance, scale-out storage to customers of Nutanix Cloud Platform. The solution facilitates deployments required to scale disaggregated storage to meet growing enterprise data management and storage density requirements with reliability and simplicity. The solution will also be supported by Nutanix’s AHV hypervisor and VMware vSphere environments.

Other than that, Cisco and Nutanix are co-creating a product that ties together Cisco’s UCS servers under SaaS management with Nutanix‘s cloud software. That will simplify hybrid cloud infrastructure by offering one stack of compute, network, and storage for on-premises and public clouds. It also offers management, scalability, and reliability improvements.

These alliances represent Nutanix’s bold move to capitalize on market opportunities left open by VMware’s recent re-shuffling. With partnerships in market leaders, Nutanix is reiterating its value proposition of enterprise infrastructure—offering converged, easy-to-deploy solutions that are AI-ready and cloud-flexible.
