Nutanix Inc. celebrates its 10th anniversary this September — an impressive feat in today’s highly volatile technology landscape. As a company that enables enterprises to build multicloud architectures, it recently announced a global partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE) to host Nutanix Enterprise Cloud software on HPE server technology.

So how has Nutanix successfully kept up with the ever-changing world of tech? And what are the keys to success? “It’s a decade since the beginning of time for Nutanix, and we are focusing on the things that we’re good at,” said Dheeraj Pandey (pictured), Nutanix’s founder and chief executive officer. “We are good at what I call the three Ds. So it’s a three-D view of the company.”

Pandey spoke with John Furrier (@furrier), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, at theCUBE’s studio in Palo Alto, California. They discussed the three Ds, cloud innovations, and the future of technology (see the full interview with transcript here). (* Disclosure below.)

Making machines invisible

For Nutanix, the three Ds of success are key to helping propel the company forward. The first D for success is an emphasis on data, as Pandey described. Data is not going away, and it is the staple of a thriving company. The second D for success is an emphasis on designing software and products that are as simple, effortless and timely as possible for the end user.

“We’re doubling down on data,” Pandey said. “We’re very good at design; we’ve done a very good job of simplification — making it elegant, consumer grade — and taking clicks away. Rather than things taking months, how can it be done in seconds and hours?”

The third D for success is seamless delivery. Nutanix’s has been able to deliver software through all different forms — through appliance, software, subscription, and other servers.

“[This] has really endeared us to our customers,” Pandey stated. “Obviously, it’s about the customers, and … the fact is, they learn from each other and we learn from them.”

Along with the three Ds comes the necessary evolution of technology to become invisible — invisible clouds and invisible IT — according to Pandey. Technology has been evolving since the beginning to become less and less intrusive, elevating the human to be more and more able to do true work in the world.

“Not everybody uses the word invisible as much as we do, but the idea is that machines should become invisible. Software and systems and tools and those things should become invisible,” Pandey said. “And then humans should become visible.”
