The world of technology and, more specifically, enterprise solutions is a space that is everchanging.

The evolution of cloud technology has birthed several offshoots, like hybrid cloud, many of which have won the hearts of customers and organizations the world over. The recent .NEXT conference was a culmination of Nutranix Inc.’s contribution to the space. With the event’s conclusion, the company’s just-announced portfolio looks to set the standard in hybrid multicloud computing.

“Cloud is not a destination; it’s an operating model,” said Tarkan Maner (pictured right), chief commercial officer at Nutanix. “Our customers are basically using cloud as a business model, as an operating model. It’s not just a bunch of techno mumbo-jumbo. We want to make sure we make cloud invisible to the customer so they can focus on what they need to focus on as a business.”

Maner and Monica Kumar (pictured left), senior vice president of marketing at Nutanix, spoke with Dave Vellante, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, following the .NEXT conference. They touched on the new product announcements from the company, what they do, and how they’re shaping up to dramatically impact the world of hybrid cloud computing for the future.

Making cloud complexity invisible

Organizations nowadays are increasingly warming up to hybrid cloud models and their associated benefits. However, the complexities involved in making public and private cloud repositories play nice with each other often means financial and human effort. With its new offerings, Nutanix is striving to ease the process of deploying and maintaining hybrid cloud infrastructures.

“We want to make sure the workloads, the apps, they can run anywhere the way the customer wants. So in that context, our entire story was bringing customer workloads, use cases, partner ecosystem with ISVs and cloud providers, service providers and ISPs we’re working with — like Citrix on end-user computing and Red Hat on cloud native — bringing the right products, both in terms of infrastructure capability and management capability for both operators and application developers,” Maner stated.

In short, Nutanix’s objective is driving customers toward seeing and using the cloud as an operating model. To help do so, Nutanix took the wraps off four major products at the event, all of which form the company’s new product portfolio.

The first announcement was platform enhancements allowing customers build modern, software-enhanced data centers for expedient multicloud deployment. In essence, an update to the company’s AOS 6 flagship. The second focused on simplifying the data management process for organizations, improving database workloads by 100% and big data workloads by 200%, according to Kumar.

The third announcement centered around industry partnerships with players like Microsoft.

“We announced the preview of Nutanix Clusters and Azure, and that’s really taking our entire flagship Nutanix platform and running it on Azure,” Kumar added.

While it’s difficult to make any definitive projections into the future, it’s clear that Nutanix has invested a lot in the R&D of these products. With all the non-hyperscalers jumping at the multicloud bubble, the company seems to have stuck to focusing on its markets. Nutanix, for its part, is more focused on customer outcomes through cloud technologies rather than the cloud itself, according to Maner.
