● Designed to deliver performance, compliance, and security for Agentic AI applications and help minimize aggregate token costs
● Empowers enterprise infrastructure and platform teams to simply build, scale, and operate AI factories
● Enables developer teams with a rich set of AI PaaS services integrated with NVIDIA AI Enterprise to accelerate deployment of Agentic AI workloads
DUBAI, UAE, March 17, 2026 – Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, today announced the Nutanix Agentic AI solution, a full software stack purpose built to help customers accelerate adoption of Agentic AI for business transformation.
With the shift to Agentic AI, enterprise adoption has hit a tipping point where the barrier to success is no longer the model or building individual agents, but the complexity of managing the infrastructure required to securely run thousands of agents at scale.
Infrastructure and platform teams need better solutions to build and operate AI factories and provide shared access to their resources, while maximizing performance, security, and compliance with sovereignty requirements.
At the same time, data scientists and Agentic AI developers expect easy access to tools and services to run and fine-tune models, build agents, and securely connect them to enterprise data.
“Contrary to AI infrastructure for model training that was optimized to run ‘one big job,’ production Agentic AI infrastructure needs to handle scale and high rates of change for thousands of AI services, agents, and concurrent users and developers.
Nutanix Agentic AI extends our AHV hypervisor, Flow Virtual Networking, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, and Nutanix Enterprise AI to deliver a cloud operating model to enterprise AI factories, enabling infrastructure and platform teams to simply build, operate, and govern AI factories, while providing Agentic AI developers with the performance and rich set of models and AI platform services they need,” said Thomas Cornely, Executive Vice President of Product Management at Nutanix.
The solution integrates with NVIDIA AI Enterprise at the Agent Builder layer and orchestrates the NVIDIA-certified ecosystem of AI factories for supported configurations.
It enables customers with dynamic, multiuser AI environments to build, run, and protect agentic AI applications with a full suite of infrastructure orchestration and security software coupled with AI Platform Services (PaaS) and Models-as-a-Service (MaaS) for data scientists and Agentic AI developers.
Nutanix and NVIDIA are also working together to build the foundation for autonomous agents in the enterprise through integration with the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, including the NVIDIA OpenShell open source runtime.
Optimizing Performance, Security, and Cost of AI Apps and Factories
The Nutanix Agentic AI solution reduces complexity, delivers optimized performance and security, and is designed to enable lower, predictable token costs through the following:
- Agentic AI Services and a Kubernetes Platform
This AI PaaS and Kubernetes-native software layer consists of:
a. An Advanced AI Gateway and Model-as-a-Service: The latest release of Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI), version 2.6, includes an AI Gateway service for unified policy control over cloud-hosted and private LLMs.
New support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and fine tuning extends its existing MaaS capabilities, enabling agents to securely connect to enterprise tools and data sources.
NAI also supports the NVIDIA Nemotron family of open-source AI models, datasets, and training tools, designed to help developers build agentic AI systems that can reason, securely access tools, and complete complex multistep tasks independently.
b. An Open Kubernetes Platform With a Rich AI Catalog: Nutanix extends its CNCF-compliant Kubernetes Platform with a catalog of pre-built open source AI developer tools, including notebooks, vector databases, MLOps workflow engines, and agentic frameworks.
Fully integrated with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, developers can deploy NVIDIA NIM microservices, including Nemotron, to accelerate development of high-performance AI applications in production.
- Infrastructure Optimization and Security
In the early access version of NVIDIA topology-aware AHV, the Nutanix AHV hypervisor automatically optimizes allocation of physical resources to virtual machines on GPU-dense servers to maximize performance.
Nutanix Flow Virtual Networking offloads the network dataplane to NVIDIA BlueField, delivering high-performance networking while reducing host CPU and memory consumption.
These capabilities enable workload and tenant isolation, day 2 operations, and infrastructure resilience while optimizing resource utilization and lowering cost per token.
- Foundational Data Services for AI
Built on the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design, Nutanix Unified Storage delivers scalable read/write performance for thousands of GPU clients.
With support for KV cache offloading and protocols such as S3 over RDMA and NFS over RDMA, it provides a low-latency data fabric that maximizes GPU efficiency across enterprise AI workloads.
Industry and Partner Perspectives
The Nutanix Agentic AI solution accelerates adoption of AI factories through NVIDIA-certified configurations.
