Nutanix Agentic AI is receiving new capabilities in the second half of 2026 designed to help neocloud providers deliver secure, scalable AI services to enterprise customers. The announcement, made in Riyadh on April 15, 2026, addresses the shift from GPU infrastructure provision to full-service AI platforms.
The AI market is transitioning from training-focused workloads to production-scale inference and agentic AI applications. Organizations deploying these applications require platforms offering enterprise-grade security, performance control, and self-service capabilities while reducing cost per token. Neocloud providers are evolving from infrastructure vendors into comprehensive AI service platforms to meet these demands.
Nutanix Agentic AI Capabilities Expand
The solution is a complete software stack designed to help customers accelerate agentic AI adoption. It reduces complexity, optimizes performance and security, and enables lower and more predictable token costs. The addition of a multitenant, multiservice portal enables neocloud providers to deliver high-value AI services on their GPU infrastructure and support sovereign AI deployments, giving enterprise users greater control over their data, infrastructure, and AI operations.
Thomas Cornely, Executive Vice President of Product Management at Nutanix, said: “Demand for sovereign and specialized AI clouds is accelerating as organizations look for ways to access AI while maintaining control over their data. The Nutanix Agentic AI solution, with its secure multitenant and AI management portal, is designed to enable neocloud providers to rapidly deliver advanced high value AI services to enterprises and public sector organizations looking for powerful AI capabilities from trusted regional providers.”
Multitenant Framework and Service Provider Central
Nutanix Agentic AI updates include the next generation of the company’s multitenancy framework, delivered through Nutanix Service Provider Central. This framework is designed to help neocloud providers securely operate shared AI infrastructure at scale. It introduces strong tenant isolation and granular resource management, allowing providers to host multiple enterprises on the same physical GPU infrastructure while maintaining predictable performance, security, and data isolation.
Neocloud builders will be able to allocate GPU and compute resources dynamically across tenants, enforce tenant-specific security and networking policies, and enable independent AI environments for each customer. The comprehensive catalog includes GPU-as-a-service, Kubernetes-as-a-service, VM-as-a-service, Notebooks-as-a-service, VectorDB-as-a-service, and Models-as-a-service offerings.
Cloud Manager Enhancements for AI Operations
Complementing the new multitenancy capabilities, enhancements to Nutanix Cloud Manager help service providers operate and monetize AI infrastructure as a service. The platform offers monitoring of AI infrastructure and adds usage-based metering, enabling providers to track and bill customers based on GPU usage, API calls, or model consumption. These capabilities enable providers to manage capacity, monitor tenant usage, and operate distributed AI infrastructure through a unified management interface.
Together, these tools help neocloud builders deliver scalable AI services while maintaining operational control. The unified interface simplifies management of complex, distributed infrastructure across multiple customer environments and geographic regions.
Regional Demand for Sovereign AI Solutions
Talal Alsaif, Regional Director for Central Gulf at Nutanix, stated: “Across Saudi Arabia, we’re seeing a shift toward sovereign and specialized AI cloud models as organizations look to scale AI while maintaining control over data, performance, and cost. With Nutanix Agentic AI, we are enabling a new generation of neocloud providers in the region to evolve beyond infrastructure and deliver high-value, secure AI services that meet the growing demands of enterprises and public sector organizations.”
The shift reflects broader regional priorities around data sovereignty and cybersecurity in line with Saudi Vision 2030 digital transformation goals. Organizations increasingly require assurance that their AI operations remain under their control, particularly in the public sector.
Availability and Timeline
The new multitenant and Nutanix Cloud Manager capabilities for Nutanix Agentic AI are available now for early access partners. General availability is anticipated in the second half of 2026. The phased rollout allows neocloud providers to test and validate the platform before broader deployment.
