Overview
- Cisco is bringing the Nutanix Cloud Platform to Cisco Unified Edge with early access in April and general availability planned for June, allowing the same Nutanix virtualization model at remote sites as in data centers.
- Cisco will offer Nutanix software through the Cisco Enterprise Agreement, the first third‑party platform in that program, which places purchases under one lifecycle contract to cut procurement steps.
- Nutanix announced Service Provider Central, a multitenant control plane due in the second half of 2026 that lets providers run many tenants on shared Nutanix infrastructure with each tenant managing its own environment in Prism.
- To speed moves off VMware, Nutanix introduced an onboarding incentive that lets eligible providers start with a low monthly commitment during a promotional period on new three‑year consumption subscriptions tied to VMware replacements.
- Cisco will extend Cisco AI PODs to include the Nutanix Agentic AI stack with validated designs in development, and it is adding a validated FlashStack option to run Nutanix on Cisco UCS paired with Everpure storage.
