Nutanix enters India Market with extensive growth plans

Nutanix has announced its entry into the Indian market and plans to build a large team of highly skilled engineers in Bangalore. As a part of its go-to-market strategy, Nutanix will also look at partnering with System Integrators who will add value through its expertise in virtualization, storage and servers providing outreach to small, medium and large enterprises across the country.

The company also disclosed its strategic relationship with Dell, one of the world’s largest integrated IT companies, who will provide a new series of converged infrastructure appliances. This is in line with Nutanix’s objective to simplify operations, design, management and growth of enterprise datacenters with a 100 percent software-defined system. This helps optimize any virtual workload, and solves CIO challenges arising from the proliferation of new technologies like cloud, analytics, mobility and social media.

Powered by Nutanix software and built on Dell PowerEdge servers, the Dell XC Series of Web-scale Converged Appliances will offer a hyper converged server, storage and networking appliance that addresses the needs of low-cost, highly efficient data storage. Nutanix’s NOS software scales out to add capacity and performance. The operating system provides enterprise class support for scale-out virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), big data, private cloud and branch office computing.

“Nutanix is in the forefront of web-scale innovation and aims to provide the Indian market with next-generation datacenter infrastructure solutions. As infrastructure gets converged, automated and simplified, IT organizations will see a reduction in rigid management silos and move towards collaboration and agility,” said Dheeraj Pandey, co-founder and CEO of Nutanix. “We are glad to be partnering with one of the world leaders in storage, servers and networking. The product is in sync with our vision to deliver easy-to-use products based around fundamental technology shifts in enterprise mobility, consumer-grade design, big data analytics, and hybrid cloud architectures to deliver the benefits of web-scale technologies to the masses.”

Nutanix, the Silicon Valley start-up headed by Dheeraj Pandey and valued at $2 billion, helps simplify datacenters by replacing complex storage and servers, with a simple and scalable converged solution. It brings the benefits of web-scale architecture, similar to that used by Google and Facebook, in a highly available and easy to manage solution to enterprise virtualization environments.
