Nutanix , a leader in private , hybrid and multicloud computing , has announced the extension of its successful Cloud Bundles channel initiative , geared to delivering a seamless and financially attractive cloud experience for mid-market customers . Channel partners will now be able to offer non-enterprise customers a feature-rich Nutanix experience to help with cloud acceleration , business automation and the delivery of applications and services designed for modern , remote working and cloud-centric business .
Businesses across Africa are facing challenges in selecting the right technology to assist them in scaling into the cloud , accelerated by the sudden and rapid remote working demands placed on organisations because of the pandemic . With Cloud Bundles , Nutanix partners can now ease this frustration by delivering an all-inone offering that delivers a higher value experience on an enterprise-class platform that is hybrid cloud ready , where there is no feature trade-off or bloated costs .
“ The modern business has evolved from cloud-first to cloud-smart . The age-old requirements for mid-market customers where cost , security , flexibility and time-tomarket have not changed , yet the growing need to ensure compliance and innovation have moved up the value chain ,” says Fatima Mkandla , Channel Sales Manager , Nutanix Southern Africa . “ With Cloud Bundles we are offering mid-market customers a clear path to bridge the gap between an on-prem and public cloud environment , or simply , a smarter , more effective technology solution to help them run their own environment more effectively . In essence , giving them the tools to build a cloud cockpit .”
The packages for medium-sized businesses are available in three different versions , namely a basic package that contains the fundamental building blocks of the Nutanix stack , a standard option that includes file management and automation capabilities and an advanced offering with additional network security and microsegmentation functionality .
Additionally , packages are compatible with all hardware platforms certified by Nutanix and include software support for three or five years . It is the perfect solution to avoid vendor lock-in and ensure customers are still able to make the hardware choices they feel most relevant to their needs , while building the perfect runway to the public cloud .
All Nutanix Cloud Bundles versions are aimed exclusively at new customers and are available through the accredited partner channel . Existing Nutanix partners will continue to benefit from the same level of marketing support that they would otherwise receive when addressing the enterprise market .
“ Value acceleration and realisation is the number one requirement for CIOs . With Cloud Bundles , customers can now reduce the time-to-market for their business applications and scale into the cloud when they need to , without refactoring their entire environment , while being assured of a secure and proven technology to support this . This way they can also future-proof their investments with a solution that will grow incrementally with their business and within their budget ,” said Mkandla . •
