According to recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research, more than one in four organizations identify increased investment in hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) as one of their top five data center modernization initiatives. 

If you’re not already doubling down on HCI and you’re operating artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing, automation, or other demanding workloads, you may want to revisit your strategy.

In this video, Allan Waters from Nutanix and Christine McMonigal from Intel join Enterprise Strategy Group's Scott Sinclair to evaluate:

• Why HCI is an essential element of modernization 
• How HCI fulfills demanding workload requirements—like those of GenAI
• 4 advantages of adopting Nutanix HCI and Intel for AI workloads

Join the discussion for the latest analysis on the importance of HCI tech.

Transforming Business Critical Infrastructure for Next-Gen Workloads and AI

64% of organizations view data center design as strategic and believe it can lead to a competitive advantage, according to Enterprise Strategy Group. This webinar details the overwhelming need across the IT industry for modernization (especially for on-prem) and how your business can succeed in your infrastructure modernization efforts.

Join Scott Sinclair, Practice Director, Enterprise Strategy Group, Harsha Kotikela, Director of Product and Solutions Marketing, Nutanix, and Pritish Nilangi, Product Marketing Director, AMD, as they discuss:
• The growing implementation of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) for data center modernization

As more and more businesses undergo digital transformation, the need for faster data access and cloud computing has never been higher. Many organizations are employing a hybrid cloud strategy as well, further increasing the complexity of application deployments.

This challenge is the genesis for a partnership between Nutanix and Red Hat, designed to help ease hybrid cloud deployments for DevOps teams with limited resources. By combining software, users can more easily build, scale and manage cloud-based containerized and virtualized applications.

In this webinar, join Red Hat Sr. Manager Andrew Sullivan and Nutanix Principal Product Marketing Manager Aaron Delp as they discuss how to automate, optimize and maintain the powerful new solution.

Nutanix and Red Hat unite to ease container & cloud app deployment

The data explosion has been exacerbated by uncontrolled application development. And according to IDC, by 2026, 750 million new applications will be  created. At the same time, Gartner predicts that 85% of workload placements will be sub-optimal by 2027, leaving enterprise IT teams unable to keep up with developers, app builders, and massive volumes of data.

Organizations can no longer afford to have data and apps living aimlessly across their cloud environments. The need for rebalancing has become clear, and a common platform can be an essential tool for that effort. However, cloud migration comes with its own unique set of challenges.

So, how can you set your IT teams up for success in the cloud while minimizing costs?

This webinar explores different ways that organizations can break down IT silos, reduce complexity, and maximize IT efficiencies using hybrid cloud technology. Tune in to learn how you can make the most of your cloud migration.
