Last week, the vibrant city of Barcelona played a host to the much-anticipated Nutanix .NEXT conference. The event, which Stratodesk proudly sponsored, brought together IT professionals, cloud computing enthusiasts, and industry leaders from across the globe to explore the latest innovations in hybrid and multicloud computing.
If you couldn’t attend, here are the top announcements and highlights from this year’s event:
Product Innovations
Nutanix unveiled several exciting updates to their portfolio. The highlight was the introduction of Nutanix Cloud Platform 2.0, which promises enhanced performance, scalability, and simplified management for hybrid cloud environments. The new version also includes advanced security features and AI-driven operational insights.
Partnerships and Integrations
The conference featured the announcement of strategic partnerships aimed at expanding the capabilities of the Nutanix ecosystem. Notably, the collaboration with Red Hat to integrate Red Hat OpenShift with Nutanix’s platform stood out, providing customers with a robust solution for building and managing containerized applications.
Customer Success Stories
Various sessions showcased compelling customer success stories, demonstrating how organizations across different sectors have leveraged Nutanix solutions to drive digital transformation. Many customers shared their experiences, highlighting improvements in operational efficiency and cost savings on stage.
Deep Dive Sessions and Workshops
Attendees had the opportunity to participate in deep dive sessions and hands-on workshops. These sessions covered a range of topics from automating IT operations with Nutanix Prism to optimizing workloads with AHV, Nutanix’s native hypervisor.
Future Trends
Keynote speakers, including Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami, shared insights into the future of cloud computing. Discussions centered around the evolution of hybrid multi-cloud strategies, the role of AI and machine learning in IT operations, and the increasing importance of edge computing.
The Nutanix .NEXT conference also provided ample opportunities for networking for the Stratodesk team. We loved that the expo hall was buzzing with activity as attendees engaged with us at booth B6 and explored our secure OS for all endpoints in digital workspaces. Stratodesk welcomed many attendees in the booth for a live tech demo of NoTouch OS. The ulta-secure endpoint OS is the ideal (cloud) managed enterprise OS for any endpoint device with seamless access to virtual apps and desktops from any location, to any cloud and at any scale in the Nutanix’ multi-cloud model.
We also used this opportunity to connect with other sponsors, technology and channel partners as well as our friends at the conference host. The lively evening reception at Poble Espanyol, was definitely one of our team’s highlights and allowed sponsors and partners to connect in a relaxed setting, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
Conclusion
Nutanix .NEXT Barcelona 2024 was a resounding success for Stratodesk and we loved the opportunity to connect with our European customers, future customers, partners and friends. We are looking forward to being a sponsor again at .NEXT 2025, which will be held in the US again, probably on the East Coast, so stay tuned.
