Nutanix One Platform: Run Apps, Data & AI Anywhere at GITEX 2025

Nutanix, a prominent name in hybrid multicloud computing, will be a key participant at GITEX Global 2025, scheduled from October 13 to 17 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This year, the company will focus on its “One Platform” concept, designed to offer a straightforward, protected, and cohesive environment for running applications, managing data, and supporting artificial intelligence across diverse settings, from on-premises data centers and cloud services to managed service providers and edge locations.

Mohammad Abulhouf, Vice President and General Manager for the Middle East and Africa at Nutanix, emphasized the company’s direction. “Our ‘One Platform’ vision demonstrates our ongoing dedication to giving customers flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in. Whether businesses are upgrading their data centers, launching AI projects, or adopting hybrid multicloud strategies, Nutanix delivers a uniform experience that is easy to manage, highly reliable, and scalable enough to support both current needs and future goals.”

At GITEX 2025, Nutanix will present its newest developments through five specialized demonstration areas. The Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) stands out as the only genuinely open-source Kubernetes solution, allowing clients to operate containerized applications in any location without being tied to a specific vendor. Recent acknowledgments from Gartner and Forrester Wave highlight NKP’s leadership in Kubernetes management, emphasizing its ease of use, portability, and enterprise-level readiness.

Another key offering is Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI), designed to streamline and secure artificial intelligence implementations. In a joint presentation with NVIDIA, Nutanix will show how NKP and NAI work together to simplify container management for AI workloads while providing strong governance, security, and performance. As AI continues to reshape IT infrastructure, NAI ensures that organizations can deploy AI applications with full control, regulatory compliance, and trust, regardless of deployment location.

The Nutanix Database Service (NDB) transforms database administration by offering a Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solution. It allows teams to set up, manage, and expand databases across on-premises and hybrid cloud setups with very little operational effort. NDB brings the straightforwardness of cloud database management directly into the data center environment.

Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) represents a core component of the “One Platform” strategy. It establishes a universal operational framework that spans on-premises data centers and leading public clouds such as Azure, AWS, and soon Google Cloud. NC2 gives businesses the flexibility to shift workloads smoothly and safely between different settings, helping them balance cost, performance, and compliance while keeping operations consistent everywhere.

Completing the portfolio is Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM), a comprehensive multicloud management tool that simplifies how enterprises construct, utilize, operate, and oversee their applications and IT infrastructure. Together with Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure, NCM forms the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP), which ensures a uniform operational approach across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.

Security and resilience are built into every Nutanix solution. The company integrates a zero-trust architecture with embedded compliance controls, sophisticated data protection, and strong ransomware defenses. Through automation and intelligent governance, Nutanix helps businesses run essential workloads and AI applications with assurance, keeping data, applications, and infrastructure safe and compliant across hybrid setups.

Across the Middle East, the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence is creating a need for solid, scalable infrastructures that support AI and automation. Nutanix is well-equipped to assist organizations in building these environments, offering the governance and hybrid cloud adaptability required. At the same time, the region’s expanding data center and cloud markets are fueling demand for modernization and workload mobility. Nutanix meets both requirements by allowing companies to securely transfer workloads between environments with exceptional ease.

Nutanix will also highlight its ecosystem partnerships at GITEX, sharing its stand with resellers, technology allies, and OEM collaborators such as Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA. This cooperative approach underscores the company’s commitment to delivering innovative, integrated solutions to its clients.

On the channel side, Nutanix will reinforce its channel-first philosophy with updates to its acclaimed Nutanix Elevate Partner Program, which has earned a 5-star CRN rating for six years running. A new Premier Partner Category will honor those partners who show outstanding expertise and investment in Nutanix technologies, emphasizing the company’s commitment to profitability, trust, and sustained growth within its partner network. Nutanix gives partners the freedom to select the OEM vendor that aligns with their strategy, helping them build tailored solutions for customer needs. With more than 1,500 independent software vendors certified on Nutanix AHV, partners can deliver preferred solutions with speed and adaptability.

Shaista Ahmed, Director of Channel and Ecosystem for the Middle East and Africa at Nutanix, commented, “Nutanix has always prioritized our channel partners, and they are essential to our expansion. Our emphasis goes beyond technical capabilities, it’s about establishing trust and helping our partners succeed. At GITEX, our message is straightforward: Nutanix is the most profitable, dependable, and forward-looking partner for the hybrid multicloud age.”

Nutanix invites customers, partners, and industry colleagues to visit its exhibit in Hall 6, Stand C10 at GITEX GLOBAL 2025. There, they can see firsthand how the “One Platform” vision is influencing the future of hybrid multicloud and AI-powered digital transformation.
