INTELLIGENT CLOUD

“ Regional enterprises have realised that a transition to the cloud is an imperative for Digital Transformation and hybrid cloud is the ideal IT model . Over the past year , Nutanix has collaborated effectively with HPE to provide customers and partners with greater freedom of choice for building their hybrid cloud strategy . HPE ’ s broad , unique and world ’ s most secure portfolio of servers are optimised for Nutanix Enterprise Cloud software to deliver cloud capabilities with greater agility , flexibility , control and choice . The aim is to make cloud infrastructure invisible so that customers can focus on business-critical apps , not the underlying technology . The market has responded very positively , and we have seen a huge uptake of our joint solutions ,” said Aaron White , Regional Director – Middle East at Nutanix .

“ Buoyed by this success , we decided to sign up as a key sponsor of the HPE Digital Life Garage , which we believe is a great platform for co-innovation and digital acceleration . HPE ’ s focus for the hub of ‘ transforming technology ’ s impact on society ’ is in line with our own company ’ s vision and ethos ,” he added .

The HPE Digital Life Garage facility , officially launched in Dubai in August this year , is the first in a series of the company ’ s worldwide innovation centres . Located in the heart of the Innovation Hub of Dubai , the multi-million-dollar HPE Digital Life Garage consists of four pillars : The Digital Innovation Showcase , the Digital Life Lab , the Digital Knowledge Centre and the HPE Global Network .

As part of the agreement , the two companies will work together within the HPE Digital Life Garage to map customers ’ Digital Transformation journeys and develop

innovative solutions based on customer and partner requirements . They will explore and build new technology use cases , increase customer and partner engagement by bringing them into the facility to conduct Ideation Workshops , PoCs , demos and drive virtual , in-person and hybrid events .

The collaboration through HPE Digital Life Garage follows the announcement of a global partnership between Nutanix and HPE in 2019 , to deliver an integrated hybrid cloud as-a-Service ( aaS ) solution to the market . After just over a year of engagement , Nutanix customers now have a very wide choice of HPE hardware models and configurations to run Nutanix software on . HPE GreenLake , an integrated hybrid cloud as-a-Service solution , as well as HPE ProLiant DX servers , designed for building enterprise cloud on-premises , both run Nutanix hyperconverged software . The joint solutions combine compute , storage , virtualisation and network functionalities , making it simple and easy for IT to maintain and scale when needed . •
