During the event, Nutanix introduced the availability of NC2 Clusters on a leading hyperscaler located within Saudi Arabia. In addition, the firm detailed infrastructure capabilities built for Agentic AI deployments and expanded its alliance with NetApp. The company also launched NKP Metal, allowing Kubernetes to run directly on bare-metal hardware for demanding edge tasks.

Capabilities of the Nutanix Cloud Platform
A core element of the exhibition is the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, known as NKP. Built to CNCF standards, NKP enables organizations to deploy containerized software without vendor lock-in. Meanwhile, the Nutanix cloud platform integrates hyperconverged systems, end-user computing with Citrix, and enterprise AI tools developed alongside NVIDIA.
As regional investments in sovereign data capabilities increase, the Nutanix cloud platform supports long-term goals under Saudi Vision 2030. These architectures help public and private entities maintain operational control and security standards.
