At the .Next event, Nutanix announced its support for external storage via Pure Storage FlashArray, signaling a shift from its foundational hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) model. This move follows a prior integration with Dell PowerFlex. CEO Rajiv Ramaswami discusses the implications, stating that while Nutanix will serve as compute in these scenarios, it continues to offer networking, micro-segmentation, and operational capabilities. This change not only expands Nutanix's market share but also positions it as a viable alternative for customers transitioning away from VMware.
Nutanix's nod to external storage solutions with providers like Pure Storage reflects an evolution in hyper-converged infrastructure, paving the way for broader market opportunities.
Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami emphasizes that their offerings remain valuable despite the shift away from strictly bundled compute and storage, as they integrate networking, micro-segmentation, and operational capabilities.
