Nutanix Bets Big on Agentic AI, Hybrid Cloud

Nutanix used its .NEXT conference to announce a broad expansion of its cloud platform, targeting agentic AI workloads and hybrid multicloud operations. Key updates include new multitenant AI infrastructure for service providers, enhanced Kubernetes support, and bare-metal capabilities via NKP Metal for GPU-intensive workloads. The company also deepened partnerships with Cisco, Dell, Lenovo, NetApp, and AMD, while adding VMware migration tools and expanded data sovereignty controls.
