pressure to innovate and accelerate Digital
Transformation. However, current legacy demands choice and agility.
Dheeraj Pandey,
founder, CEO and
Chairman of Nutanix, said:
“Our customers tell us
that it’s their applications
that matter most. Our
partnership with HPE
will provide Nutanix
customers with another
choice to make their
infrastructure invisible
so they can focus on business-critical
apps, not the underlying technology. We
are delighted to partner with HPE for the
benefit of enterprises looking for the right
hybrid cloud solution for their business.”
