Nutanix and Pure Storage Partner to Deliver Integrated Solution for Critical Workloads

Nutanix and Pure Storage have announced a strategic partnership to deliver a deeply integrated infrastructure solution. The solution is designed to support high-performance, mission-critical workloads, including AI, with scalability, security, and flexibility. 

The announcement was made at the NEXT Conference in Washington, DC.

The collaboration combines the Nutanix Cloud Platform, powered by the AHV hypervisor and Nutanix Flow virtual networking and security, with Pure Storage’s FlashArray, leveraging NVMe/TCP connectivity. 

The goal is to help enterprises modernise virtual workloads and manage them more efficiently in an evolving virtualisation landscape. The new solution is being co-developed with input from industry partners and early adopters.

“Our integrated solution will be ideally suited for companies with storage-rich environments looking for choices in modernisation,” Tarkan Maner, chief commercial officer at Nutanix, said.

The solution will be compatible with server hardware partners currently supporting Pure FlashArray, including Cisco, Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and Supermicro. Additionally, Cisco and Pure Storage are expanding their long-standing partnership of more than 60 validated FlashStack designs to now include Nutanix in the portfolio.

“With more than 13,500 global customers, I’m hearing more than ever that organisations of all shapes and sizes have a growing need for efficient, flexible, and high-performance solutions that can also scale to support their most critical, data-intensive applications,” said Maciej Kranz, general manager, enterprise at Pure Storage. 

However, the integrated solution is currently under development. Early access is expected by summer 2025, with general availability slated for the end of the year through Nutanix and Pure Storage channel partners.
