Spokesperson: Mohammed Abulhouf, Senior Sales Director, Middle East at Nutanix
What products and solutions will you be showcasing at Gitex Global 2022?
Nutanix will be sharing our company’s vision and strategy that emphasises that enterprises should never settle for Cloud chaos, but rather, embrace a hybrid multi-cloud platform that prioritises simplicity, flexibility, and freedom of choice.
Over the past year, Nutanix has re-packaged its solutions to make them even simpler, in order to offer a consistent operating model across all types of clouds: public, private and hybrid. The company has created an easy-to-consume set of solutions to support customer’s digital transformations initiatives. The new portfolio removes the complexity often associated with offering a full range of hybrid cloud services. The simplification of packaging, metering, and pricing enables customers to easily plan for their changing needs. Customers can accelerate their cloud journey by taking advantage of Nutanix validated designs and deployment best practices for 5 common use cases around which the company has designed its solution portfolio. We are keen to demonstrate these innovations at GITEX:
- Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI): Providing complete software solution including virtual compute, storage and networking for virtual machines and containers, that can be deployed in private data-centers on the hardware of the organisation’s choice or in public clouds
- Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM): If an organisation is managing multiple cloud deployments, Nutanix can support by driving consistent governance across private and public clouds, helping customers accelerate their cloud journey
- Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS): Nutanix supports a variety of workloads deployed anywhere – private, public or hybrid by allowing software defined storage for multiple protocols ((volumes, files, objects). This is a single point of management for all storage resources
- Nutanix End User Computing Solutions: This speaks to running applications and workloads anywhere, on any device supporting the new normal of remote work and remote learning
- Nutanix Database Service (NDB):Simplifies database management across hybrid multi-cloud environments for database engines like PostgreSQL®, MySQL®, Microsoft® SQL Server, and Oracle® Database
One of the key areas of discussions at GITEX will be around ‘data’ – the new currency in a digital world. Companies are increasingly struggling with managing their databases in an efficient manner. Wouldn’t it be great if an organisation’s databases just worked, with all the complexity and tedium of database administration and maintenance hidden from view? We’ve done just that with Nutanix Era, a Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution ‘On Your Terms’. In the same way, the Nutanix Cloud Platform has made IT infrastructure ‘invisible’, Nutanix Era is a database lifecycle management software that runs on the Nutanix Cloud Platform and empowers organisations to achieve invisible databases. Era can manage databases deployed on on-premises infrastructure and on a public cloud of choice, making it a true multi-cloud solution ready to modernise databases.
What do you hope to achieve from your participation at the event this year?
As always, GITEX offers a brilliant platform to promote our brand. Most importantly, it’s a way to re-connect with our customers and partners at scale. We anticipate even more traffic coming in from the other GCC countries, such as Saudi Arabia – which is a hyper growth market for us.
What will be your theme of participation at GITEX?
Nutanix will be exhibiting with the theme ‘Cloud on Your Terms’ with the intention of helping regional organisations master the art of Cloud freedom
Do you plan to run any activities alongside GITEX?
We are running a series of executive dinners during GITEX week and have several MoU signings that will occur at our stand.
Where can trade visitors find you at GITEX?
Nutanix will showcase its beautiful stand H6-A30 in Hall 6 at GITEX, that has been designed to be inviting, safe, and an open space for great conversations. This year key alliance partners and resellers have been welcomed to participate along with the company. The focus is on emerging alliances including HYCU, ArcServ & Stratodesk.
