Nutanix announced it will introduce new capabilities in the second half of 2026 for its Nutanix Agentic AI solution that are designed to help a new generation of AI cloud providers, known as neoclouds, to deliver secure, scalable AI services to AI engineers and Agentic AI Developers.
The AI era has fueled the emergence of neocloud providers offering rapid access to GPUs through flexible, on-demand services. While demand has largely been driven by AI training workloads from a small number of large customers, the next phase of AI will centre on scaling inference and running agentic AI applications in production for a large number of enterprise customers. As organisations deploy and scale these agentic AI applications, they increasingly require platforms that deliver enterprise-grade security, performance, control, and self-service capabilities for developers while reducing the cost per token for AI services.
To meet these demands, neocloud providers are evolving from GPU infrastructure providers into full AI service platforms.
Nutanix will enable neoclouds to deliver a broader catalog of AI services including GPU-as-a-service, Kubernetes-as-a-service, and an enterprise-ready AI platform service powered by Nutanix Agentic AI.
The Nutanix Agentic AI solution is a complete software stack purposely designed to help customers accelerate adoption of agentic AI. It reduces complexity, optimises performance and security, and is designed to enable lower and more predictable token costs. The addition of a multitenant, multiservice portal enables neocloud providers to deliver high value AI services on their GPU infrastructure and support sovereign AI deployments, giving enterprise users greater control over their data, infrastructure, and AI operations.
“Demand for sovereign and specialised AI clouds is accelerating as organisations look for ways to access AI while maintaining control over their data,” said Thomas Cornely, Executive Vice President, Product Management at Nutanix. “The Nutanix Agentic AI solution, with its secure multitenant and AI management portal, is designed to enable neocloud providers to rapidly deliver advanced high value AI services to enterprises and public sector organisations looking for powerful AI capabilities from trusted regional providers.”
Helping AI cloud providers serve multiple customers
Nutanix Agentic AI updates will include the next generation of Nutanix’s multitenancy framework, delivered through Nutanix Service Provider Central, which is designed to help neocloud providers securely operate shared AI infrastructure at scale. The framework introduces strong tenant isolation and granular resource management, allowing providers to host multiple enterprises on the same physical GPU infrastructure while maintaining predictable performance, security, and data isolation.
With these capabilities, neocloud builders will be able to allocate GPU and compute resources dynamically across tenants, enforce tenant-specific security and networking policies, and enable independent AI environments for each customer with a comprehensive catalog of GPU-aaS, K8S-aaS, VM-aaS, Notebooks-aaS, VectorDB-aaS, and Models-aaS.
Nutanix Cloud Manager expands AI service operations
Complementing the new multitenancy capabilities, enhancements to Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) help service providers operate and monetise AI infrastructure as a service.
NCM offers monitoring of AI infrastructure and adds usage-based metering, enabling providers to track and bill customers based on GPU usage, API calls, or model consumption.
Together, these capabilities enable providers to manage capacity, monitor tenant usage, and operate distributed AI infrastructure through a unified management interface, helping neocloud builders deliver scalable AI services while maintaining operational control.
“Across the Middle East and Africa, we’re seeing a clear shift toward sovereign and specialised AI cloud models as organisations look to scale AI while maintaining control over data, performance, and cost. With Nutanix Agentic AI, we are enabling a new generation of neocloud providers in the region to evolve beyond infrastructure and deliver high-value, secure AI services that meet the growing demands of enterprises and public sector organisations,” said Mohammad Abulhouf, Vice President & GM, Middle East & Africa, Nutanix.
