Simplifying Virtualisation: Nutanix and NetApp Lead the Way

28/04/2026

Rising virtualisation costs and shifting market dynamics are pushing enterprises to migrate. To help you guide your customers through this transition, we’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership between Nutanix and NetApp.

This game-changing collaboration empowers you to simplify migration and seamlessly modernise virtual environments by running workloads on Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) while continuing to leverage trusted NetApp ONTAP data services.

For the first time, NetApp ONTAP storage can be used as external storage for Nutanix environments, delivering unmatched architectural flexibility and allowing you to scale storage and compute independently.

Together, Nutanix and NetApp enable organisations to:

Modernise without disruption
Seamless integration eliminates the need for costly rip-and-replace migrations.

Scale with flexibility
A targeted approach optimises IT investments, maximising the lifespan of existing hardware, and drastically reducing operational overhead.

Speed up migrations
Transitioning to a modern virtualised environment is now much faster and carries far less risk. By leveraging the NetApp Shift Toolkit, you can execute data-in-place virtual machine conversions in a matter of minutes, safely trimming months off standard migration timelines.

Strengthen cyber resilience
The integration equips infrastructure with real-time threat detection and autonomous ransomware protection, ensuring data remains secure across the entire IT environment.

Early access for the integration is already underway, and the new joint solution will be generally available in Q3 2026.
