Nutanix makes IT infrastructure invisible with an enterprise cloud platform that delivers the agility and economics of the public cloud, without sacrificing the security and control of on-premises infrastructure.

According to recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research, more than one in four organizations identify increased investment in hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) as one of their top five data center modernization initiatives. 

If you’re not already doubling down on HCI and you’re operating artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing, automation, or other demanding workloads, you may want to revisit your strategy.

In this video, Allan Waters from Nutanix and Christine McMonigal from Intel join Enterprise Strategy Group's Scott Sinclair to evaluate:

• Why HCI is an essential element of modernization 
• How HCI fulfills demanding workload requirements—like those of GenAI
• 4 advantages of adopting Nutanix HCI and Intel for AI workloads

Join the discussion for the latest analysis on the importance of HCI tech.

Transforming Business Critical Infrastructure for Next-Gen Workloads and AI

64% of organizations view data center design as strategic and believe it can lead to a competitive advantage, according to Enterprise Strategy Group. This webinar details the overwhelming need across the IT industry for modernization (especially for on-prem) and how your business can succeed in your infrastructure modernization efforts.

Join Scott Sinclair, Practice Director, Enterprise Strategy Group, Harsha Kotikela, Director of Product and Solutions Marketing, Nutanix, and Pritish Nilangi, Product Marketing Director, AMD, as they discuss:
• The growing implementation of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) for data center modernization
• How IT has evolved from a cost center to a revenue generator
• How AMD is looking to improve what’s possible with HCI
• What types of workloads orgs are using HCI for
• What you should know about AI in 2024

Infrastructure Modernization for Next Generation Workloads

The next generation of cloud workloads is already here, with leading organizations exploring AI/ML solutions across industries and using the cloud to fuel their model building and generation. The question is whether the current generation of cloud infrastructure solutions can support these demanding workloads, or if it’s time for your organization to take the next step.

In this exclusive Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) webinar, Scott Sinclair, Practice Director of ESG, explores the transformation of business-critical infrastructure for next-generation workloads; joined by Allan Waters, Product Marketing Manager at Nutanix, and Christine McMonigal, Director of Hyper-Converged Marketing at Intel, this panel of experts discuss how the partnership between Nutanix and Intel can help organizations simplify their on-premises infrastructure for hybrid cloud environments while preparing for more demanding workloads.

As more and more businesses undergo digital transformation, the need for faster data access and cloud computing has never been higher. Many organizations are employing a hybrid cloud strategy as well, further increasing the complexity of application deployments.

This challenge is the genesis for a partnership between Nutanix and Red Hat, designed to help ease hybrid cloud deployments for DevOps teams with limited resources. By combining software, users can more easily build, scale and manage cloud-based containerized and virtualized applications.

In this webinar, join Red Hat Sr. Manager Andrew Sullivan and Nutanix Principal Product Marketing Manager Aaron Delp as they discuss how to automate, optimize and maintain the powerful new solution.

The data explosion has been exacerbated by uncontrolled application development. And according to IDC, by 2026, 750 million new applications will be  created. At the same time, Gartner predicts that 85% of workload placements will be sub-optimal by 2027, leaving enterprise IT teams unable to keep up with developers, app builders, and massive volumes of data.

Organizations can no longer afford to have data and apps living aimlessly across their cloud environments. The need for rebalancing has become clear, and a common platform can be an essential tool for that effort. However, cloud migration comes with its own unique set of challenges.

So, how can you set your IT teams up for success in the cloud while minimizing costs?

This webinar explores different ways that organizations can break down IT silos, reduce complexity, and maximize IT efficiencies using hybrid cloud technology. Tune in to learn how you can make the most of your cloud migration.

Cloud migration: How to save money and maximize your IT potential

With the growth of data and the ever-changing business landscape, organizations need to optimize their business practices in order to achieve expected outcomes. By leveraging a cloud-first approach, organizations can digitally transform how they operate while maximizing the available resources to drive toward business KPIs and goals.  In this session, we aim to provide you with an understanding of how to:

* Modernize while driving digital transformation initiatives.
* Explain how a cloud-first approach can accelerate migration efforts
* Provide insights into where the market is going, how hybrid clouds are being used, and where workloads will run today, 
   tomorrow, and in the future.

The Adoption of Distributed Cloud Environments

The way we work has changed, and as companies look to the future of their business operations in the new normal, they’re finding desktop virtualization at the center of the discussion. While a return to the old office environment holds an allure to some, it’s becoming increasingly clear that hybrid and remote work are here to stay. 

There is good news for businesses working to adapt, as today’s desktop virtualization has everything you need to support a permanently remote workforce. However, determining which desktop virtualization platform fits into the puzzle of a company’s existing cloud infrastructure, multiple vendors and service providers, licensing, and app management, can be a challenge. 

In Nutanix’s 'The Crucial Role of Desktop Virtualization', Nutanix’s Sean Donahue and Enterprise Strategy Group’s EUC Lifer and Senior Analyst Gabe Knuth will discuss how the combination of Nutanix and Citrix can solve your desktop virtualization need to navigate the demands of the post-pandemic workplace. 

Topics for discussion include: 
-The history of desktop virtualization, and what it looks like today
-The demands put on a organization’s infrastructure by remote or hybrid work 
-Why a modern desktop virtualization software is crucial for any business’ operations
-How they can incorporate virtualization seamlessly and efficiently 
-And more
