Published2016.11.09 09:34Supporting Efficient IT Infrastructure Operations
Nutanix Korea, a next-generation enterprise cloud company (CEO Kim Jong-deok), announced its 2016 business trends and future vision.
Nutanix explained that amid rapidly changing IT environments, corporate interest in cloud-based solutions is increasing to strengthen competitiveness and enhance equipment efficiency and availability, and that the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform can serve as an optimal solution for this purpose. The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform introduces cloud service concepts to in-house data centers, allowing organizations to combine and leverage the advantages of existing legacy infrastructure and public cloud.

Nutanix announced that throughout this year, it has released enterprise cloud-specialized solutions such as the Xpress product line and InstantON VDI supporting Citrix desktop virtualization, helping customers achieve efficient IT infrastructure operations. Through Nutanix solutions with web-scale technology based on cloud infrastructure, business partners and customers can infinitely expand storage on a node-by-node basis without performance degradation, and can construct service architecture independent from hardware failures.
IDC forecasts that cloud IT infrastructure spending will grow at an annual average rate of 15.1%, reaching $53.1 billion, or 46% of total enterprise IT infrastructure spending by 2019.
Meanwhile, Gartner predicts that although the public cloud services market will experience significant growth, in reality, not many enterprises have plans to adopt cloud services. Security concerns and cost issues are acting as obstacles.

When utilizing the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform, organizations can benefit from the security and control capabilities of on-premises infrastructure, predictability, and pay-as-you-grow billing models, and can operationalize all enterprise applications with agility. This makes it a suitable solution for companies hesitant to adopt public cloud due to management and cost concerns. In Korea, companies such as SBS and Smartro have adopted Nutanix solutions and are realizing benefits of flexible system expansion as well as cost and space savings required for IT infrastructure operations.
Business Expansion Through IPO and Strategic Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2016, Nutanix announced strategic mergers and acquisitions with PernixData, a scale-out data analytics company, and Calm.io, an innovative DevOps automation enterprise, enabling the company to deliver an enterprise cloud platform matching the simplicity, automation, and agility of public cloud to customers more rapidly.
Additionally, at the end of September, Nutanix successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO) on NASDAQ. The company set the offering price at $16 per share, adjusted upward from the initially expected $11 to $13 per share, and issued 14.87 million shares of common stock Class A. The stock price surged approximately 131% on the first day of trading.
Matt Young, Vice President of Nutanix Asia Pacific and Japan Region, stated, "For customers seeking innovative hyperconverged solutions that can operate at the enterprise level, the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform will be the best choice," and added, "Nutanix will continue to actively support enterprises' businesses through innovative products."
