What it does

Nutanix sells software that lets companies run their own data centers like a cloud, combining computing, storage and virtualization into one platform, and increasingly offers it as an alternative to VMware.

Why it matters

Companies that want to run AI models on their own hardware rather than in a public cloud need software to manage those servers; Nutanix sells an enterprise AI and Kubernetes layer for that, though most of its revenue still comes from general-purpose hybrid-cloud software.

How it makes money

Businesses pay subscriptions for its cloud-platform, storage, database and AI software, usually sold through hardware and channel partners.

Geography

United States (San Jose, California)

AI stack position

AI infrastructure software. The tools developers use to build, train, deploy and manage AI systems: the software layer that sits between raw computing power and a finished AI product.

Same-layer peers

Same-layer peers share an editorial stack classification; that alone does not establish direct competition.
