Nutanix and Dell Technologies Collaborate

Nutanix, Inc. announced a collaboration with Dell Technologies LLC aimed at accelerating customers’ digital transformation journeys fueled by infrastructure modernization and modern application development.

Through this collaboration, joint customers will be able to leverage both companies’s hybrid multicloud solutions to improve IT operations, resiliency and flexibility.

Collaboration on Two New Joint Solutions
Customers will be able to streamline private and hybrid multicloud deployments through the combination of Dell’s server and storage offerings and the simplicity of Nutanix software.

As part of this collaboration, Dell will offer an integrated turnkey hyperconverged appliance combining Nutanix Cloud Platform and Dell servers. The solution will be available with a broad portfolio of PowerEdge server models and configurations to meet requirements from a wide range of applications.

Additionally, flexibility and choice of ecosystem is more critical than ever. To support this, Cloud Platform for Dell PowerFlex will combine the benefits of the Cloud Platform, powered by AHV hypervisor, for compute along with PowerFlex for storage. Enterprise customers with a need to scale compute and storage independently will be able to extend Dell’s linearly scalable storage to Nutanix software.

Expanded Collaboration
In addition to delivering 2 new joint solutions, the companies will collaborate on engineering, go-to-market, support and services. This will enable Dell customers to benefit from expanded access to the simplicity of the Cloud Platform. Expanding distribution of Nutanix software, the solutions will be sold by Dell sales teams and partners WW.

“Enterprises are managing a growing number of applications across on-premises, public cloud and at the edge and looking for a unified platform to run their legacy and containerized applications,” said Tarkan Maner, chief commercial officer, Nutanix. “This expanded collaboration will enable Dell and Nutanix joint customers to benefit from increased flexibility, simplified operations and strengthened resilience.“

​​”Dell Technologies is committed to providing organizations with the choice and flexibility they need to adopt a multicloud approach on their own terms with their preferred cloud solution vendor,” said Arthur Lewis, president, infrastructure solutions group, Dell. “Our collaboration with Nutanix will enable our customers to benefit from the performance and resiliency of the Dell solutions along with the flexibility and ease of use of the Nutanix Cloud Platform.“

The joint solutions from the 2 companies are currently under development and will be available to customers in early access later this year.
