NUTANIX DEMONSTRATES
COMMITMENT TO CHANNEL IN
MIDDLE EAST AND TURKEY BY
SUCCESSFULLY HOSTING VIRTUAL
PARTNER XCHANGE 2020
Nutanix has announced that
it has successfully hosted a
‘Virtual Partner Xchange 2020’
conference in mid-April. The
webinar, with the theme ‘Scale up with
Nutanix’, exclusively catered to Nutanix
partners across the Middle East and Turkey
and was attended by over 330 channel
executives from across the region. The two
hour programme included partner awards
being announced at the end.
Bassam Al Masri, Director of Channel, METI
at Nutanix, said: “As a result of the COVID-19
virus impact on businesses, we have had to
come up with a novel way of connecting with
our partners and reinvent our annual partner
summit as a virtual event. By sharing our
company’s vision and roadmap and providing
insights into the latest innovations in our
products and partner programme, we believe
we have set our channel partners up for
success this year and beyond. We take this
opportunity to congratulate all the partners
that won awards and thank them for their
continued commitment to driving growth for
our company.”
During the virtual event, executives
from Nutanix delivered a number of
sessions enlightening partners about how
they could benefit from the technical and
business advantages of the cloud offered by
Nutanix, such as infrastructure-independent
and automated app mobility, scalability,
flexibility and elasticity. Insights were also
provided on how partners can maximise
their organisations’ profitability with the
‘enhanced’ Nutanix Channel Charter.
GBM, a Nutanix strategic Master
Partner, presented a video case study
involving a prestigious government agency
that implemented a Nutanix Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution for
2,000+ users. This was based on Nutanix’s
latest offer called FastTrack for VDI that
supports companies anywhere in the
world to quickly deploy a VDI solution and
onboard thousands of remote employees in
record time.
In order to keep the session fun and
interactive, Nutanix organised a quiz with
participants having a chance to be one of the
three winners of exciting prizes. There was
also a raffle draw.
The programme concluded with the
partner awards. Below is the list of partners
