Nutanix to Extend Nutanix Agentic AI, Empowering Neoclouds to Deliver Higher Value AI Services
- Designed to complement AI infrastructure automation and AI platform services with a new multitenant and AI management portal
- Will enable secure, governed self-service consumption by AI engineers and agentic AI developers
CHICAGO, April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- .NEXT Conference – Nutanix (NASDAQ:NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, today announced it will introduce new capabilities in the second half of 2026 for its Nutanix Agentic AI solution that are designed to help a new generation of AI cloud providers, known as neoclouds, to deliver secure, scalable AI services to AI engineers and agentic AI developers.
The agentic AI era has fueled the emergence of neocloud providers offering rapid access to GPUs through flexible, on-demand services. While demand has largely been driven by AI training workloads from a small number of large customers, the next phase of AI will center on scaling inference and running agentic AI applications in production for a large number of enterprise customers. As organizations deploy and scale these agentic AI applications, they increasingly require platforms that deliver enterprise-grade security, performance, control, and self-service capabilities for developers while reducing the cost per token for AI services.
To meet these demands, neocloud providers are evolving from GPU infrastructure providers into full AI service platforms.
Nutanix will enable neoclouds to deliver a broader catalog of AI services including GPU-as-a-service, Kubernetes-as-a-service, and an enterprise-ready AI platform service powered by Nutanix Agentic AI.
The Nutanix Agentic AI solution is a complete software stack purposely designed to help customers accelerate adoption of agentic AI. It reduces complexity, optimizes performance and security, and is designed to enable 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.
"Demand for sovereign and specialized AI clouds is accelerating as organizations look for ways to access AI while maintaining control over their data," said Thomas Cornely, Executive Vice President, Product Management at Nutanix. "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."
Helping AI Cloud Providers Serve Multiple Customers
Nutanix Agentic AI updates will include the next generation of Nutanix's multitenancy framework, delivered through Nutanix Service Provider Central, which is designed to help neocloud providers securely operate shared AI infrastructure at scale. The framework 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.
With these capabilities, 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 with a comprehensive catalog of GPU-aaS, K8S-aaS, VM-aaS, Notebooks-aaS, VectorDB-aaS, and Models-aaS.
Nutanix Cloud Manager Expands AI Service Operations
Complementing the new multitenancy capabilities, enhancements to Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) help service providers operate and monetize AI infrastructure as a service.
NCM 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.
Together, these capabilities enable providers to manage capacity, monitor tenant usage, and operate distributed AI infrastructure through a unified management interface, helping neocloud builders deliver scalable AI services while maintaining operational control.
Analyst Commentary
"The deployment of autonomous agents is rapidly becoming the next frontier in enterprise AI, but this rise is introducing significant new risks related to data security, governance, and unpredictable performance. Organizations cannot manage this transformation on legacy infrastructure. Given these demands, Nutanix's focus on strong governance, security, performance, tenant isolation, and predictable resource management in its purpose-built Agentic AI solution provides a welcome option for CIOs as they seek to deploy an enterprise-grade foundation for their AI agent strategy."
— Scott Sinclair, Practice Director, Infrastructure, Cloud, DevOps, and Networking, Omdia
