Lenovo is addressing the rise of remote work by delivering an open platform of HCI solutions in partnership with Nutanix, Microsoft and VMWare.

Softbank C&S Japan took home the APAC Distributor of the Year award and Wipro was awarded Global System Integrator of year.

Veeam collaborated with Nutanix to deliver availability for applications and data running on Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) with Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV.

“With this partnership, Microsoft and Nutanix show our commitment to delivering a true, unified hybrid and multicloud environment."

The newly created position follows a recent segmentation of Nutanix’s ANZ business, undertaken with the purpose of capitalising on the expanding hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) market – which is expected to grow by a factor of four to A$37 billion in 2025.

Outlining three of the key risks involved with cloud computing, as well as strategies for how to mitigate against them.     

Nutanix has launched new solutions for cloud infrastructure management, enabling IT teams to deploy, upgrade and troubleshoot cloud software from anywhere, whether at home or from a central office location.

The role was recently vacated by Christian Alvarez, who was promoted last month to the senior vice president of worldwide channels. 

Released in response to demand for remote-friendly IT infrastructure tools, the solutions are aimed at teams wishing to deploy and troubleshoot their cloud infrastructure within from anywhere.

"To help our customers, our focus has been squarely on delivering an exceptional service and making it easier for customers to rapidly integrate into their existing environments.”

“As IT teams focus on delivering remote work solutions, they sometimes struggle to support the business more broadly because they are strapped for time and resources."

“Christian is an innovator, strategic thinker spearheading new offerings and contributing to collaboration across the organisation."

Nutanix has released several new capabilities within its hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software and AHV hypervisor this week.

The company has launched a new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) service, which brings together Nutanix HCI and software with selected partners to accelerate and optimise a VDI service.

Nutanix has unveiled details of its finanical assistance programme for its partners to help them get through the COVID-19 crisis.

Wipro has partnered with Nutanix to launch a new Digital Database Services (DDS) solution to enhance database delivery and management and enable IT teams to focus on more pressing tasks.

Nutanix and Veeam Software have teamed up to offer a data protection and management solution, designed to support storage environments. 

“This collaboration offers companies a multi-cloud solution to easily support business-critical apps in the industry while providing a platform that is simple, flexible, and powerful.”

For the second consecutive year, Nutanix has been named a Gartner Peer Insight Customer’s Choice.

“At a time when many organisations are struggling with the day-to-day realities of running a business remotely, we are continuing to focus on our customers by delivering an IT infrastructure that is invisible and automated."

“We are witnessing a fundamental shift in the way corporate Australia and New Zealand does, and will do, business in the future."

Nutanix is sponsoring 5000 scholarships, to be taught via Udacity, which will school IT professionals on topics such as modern private cloud infrastructure and the design of hybrid application deployment.

Nutanix has extended its Nutanix platform with new features around big data and analytics, as well as unstructured data storage. The new capabilities will be part of the Nutanix Objects 2.0.

According to Nutanix, the expansion aims to soften the blow of COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak by enabling more businesses and employees to work from remote locations, such as their homes.
