Nutanix stops being so opinionated about where data lives
Briefly

Nutanix is transitioning from its hyperconverged origins by introducing containerized data services and expanding external storage options, particularly in response to the growing container market. The company now allows its data services—like replication and data recovery—to run in containers on various infrastructures, aligning with its mission to provide unified management across diverse environments. At its Next conference in Washington, it highlighted partnerships, such as with Pure Storage, to enhance its offerings. The new Cloud Native AOS is currently available on AWS EKS, with future expansions planned for Kubernetes, showcasing Nutanix's strategic direction towards edge devices and hybrid cloud management.
