Nutanix and Inetum are joining forces in Belgium. The two parties will work together to bring HCI and simplified management of complex environments to customers.
Inetum is partnering with Nutanix in Belgium to expand its IT offerings with hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions. The partnership should provide Inetum’s customers with more efficient, flexible IT solutions, with a focus on hybrid cloud infrastructures.
Benefits of HCI
Through this partnership, Inetum can leverage Nutanix’s technology to provide Belgian customers with a simplified and scalable IT infrastructure. Nutanix’s HCI solutions bundle compute, storage, virtualization and networking functionalities into a single integrated platform. That platform spans both on-premises and cloud environments. Nutanix’s platform comes into its own in the context of a hybrid cloud, where it provides unity of management.
By partnering with Nutanix, Inetum in Belgium can respond to the increasing demand for solutions that offer both flexibility and simplicity, without the complexity of hybrid cloud sticks. Inetum will use the Nutanix platform as a core component in this regard.
The benefits Inetum cites for this are the same ones Nutanix has been preaching for years: lower operational costs and more streamlined management. As a result, customers can more easily implement scalable IT environments that fit their specific business needs.
Expansion and synergy
For Inetum, the partnership means not only an expansion of its services in Belgium, but also a further strengthening of its existing relationship with Nutanix. The company is already working with Nutanix in other countries, including Spain, and is thus further building on its HCI expertise within the European market.
For its part, Nutanix benefits from Inetum’s position in Belgium and its broader network within Europe. Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, Nutanix has been doing well. The company offers the only mature enterprise-sized alternative to VMware’s solutions. Separately, Nutanix was gaining momentum even before that acquisition. Locally anchored collaborations are crucial in Nutanix’s market strategy, where the company primarily wants to be part of total solutions for customers.
