PRESS RELEASE — San Jose – June 30, 2016 – Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud computing, today announced the second generation of its Elevate Technology Alliance Partner Program, delivering new benefits, “Nutanix Ready” technical designs, and marketing and enablement investments to enable further growth of the partner ecosystem supporting Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform.
In just over a year since its launch at the 2015 .NEXT Conference, the Nutanix Elevate program has grown to include 50 technology alliance partnerships, with over 100 partner solutions to date verified as Nutanix Ready.{ad}
At the inaugural Nutanix Elevate Alliances Summit during the .NEXT Conference earlier this month, Nutanix previewed this next-generation program with partners, which now includes these enhanced features and benefits:
Enhanced Education and Enablement – Improvements to field and channel education and enablement better enable partners to sell joint solutions.
Joint Messaging and Solution Development – Elevate partners will now work directly with the Nutanix team to develop customer messaging and solution verifications for joint initiatives.
Co-marketing and Go-to-market – Through focused co-marketing tools, POC environments which showcase joint solutions and exclusive roadmap and business reviews with Nutanix executives, technical teams and business owners, Elevate partners now have far greater support to deliver joint solutions to customers.
The technology companies within the Elevate Partner Program are innovative leaders across numerous market categories — including desktop and application virtualization, cloud, security, networking, data protection, infrastructure management, and application development — and hold tens of thousands of patents.
In addition to being able to attain “Nutanix Ready: Core” designation by meeting the criteria necessary to demonstrate interoperability with the Nutanix enterprise cloud platform, Elevate partners can now earn two new technical designations which provide customers with assurance that their solutions are compatible with Nutanix technology:
Nutanix Ready: AHV– for solutions that work with Nutanix’s built-in virtualization solution
Nutanix Ready: Integrated– for leveraging Nutanix APIs to enrich management or delivering unique features
