Nutanix .NEXT 2025 Highlights

From the moment I walked into the convention center, you could feel the energy was electric. The anticipation was building as 5000+ attendees gathered in Washington, D.C. ready to hear all the latest announcements. I personally expected some of them, but others took me completely by surprise.

Check out some of the highlights announced during day one’s keynote below:

  • Enhanced Integration with NVIDIA (Agentic AI with Nutanix Enterprise AI, NAI)
  • General availability of Nutanix Platform Stack on Google Cloud (GCP)
  • External Storage capabilities with Pure Storage (Compute nodes with NVMe over TCP connectivity)
  • Validated design with Cisco, Pure Storage and UCS-X (FlashStack with Nutanix)
  • Cloud-Native AOS support for Kubernetes in AWS and Bare Metal (no hypervisor needed)
  • Newly established partnership with Omnissa (VDI alternative)
  • Project Beacon: Build Once, Run Anywhere
  • Extended features being added to Nutanix Move (Ex: Automated migration of NSX Firewall rules)

I will try to gather more details on these topics during the next two days I am out here in Washington DC.
