Our Partners

Nutanix was founded with a bold vision: to make managing IT infrastructure so simple that it becomes invisible. It all started with bringing together compute, storage, networking, and virtualization in one invisible stack with Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI), this vision now extended to make clouds invisible too. In the UK, Nutanix is working with around 190 Public Sector customers to help them on their journey to a Cloud operating model whether that is Private, Public, or most often a Hybrid or Multi Cloud strategy. The starting point is the modernisation of legacy platforms and applications onto the secure Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform, simplifying operations, automating processes, and managing the infrastructure to accelerate the delivery of improved digital services. Nutanix has partnered with UKAuthority to produce a series of briefing notes on cloud migration - the challenges, opportunities and the benefits of a hybrid cloud. Catch up here
