Nutanix Conference: Finding the .NEXT big thing | #NEXTConf
Nearly 1,000 attendees flocked to Miami, Florida, for enterprise virtualization and storage company Nutanix, Inc.’s inaugural .NEXT conference this week. The five-year-old company made several new product announcements to build on its hyperconverged solutions for enterprise computing.
The company kicked off its presentations with introductions from the company’s first users. “How do you best highlight the user community than to start off with the users,” theCUBE cohost Stu Miniman said. theCUBE cohosts Dave Vellante and Miniman observed the energy during the keynotes, which turned from enthusiasm to animated excitement when talk turned to products.
Hungry, honest and humble
Vellante gave CEO Dheeraj Pandey high marks for his speech, which spotlighted what he called the three H’s: hungry, honest and humble.
“Nutanix is the one that the other startups are chasing and the big guys are slinging some challenges at,” said Vellante. “It’s exciting to be here on the ground to talk to the practitioners and the partner community.”
Vellante noted that Nutanix is “accelerating” a lot of technology that VMware, Inc. is “slow-rolling.” Nutanix delivers invisible infrastructure at the storage and virtualization levels. Announcements included the Xtreme Computing Platform (XCP), which is comprised of the Nutanix Acropolis and Prism product families.
