Nutanix Expands Cloud Platform With Early-Access Agentic AI and Multitenant Tools

The rollout maps a two-step plan that delivers core tools now with broader AI services set for the second half of 2026.

Overview

  • Nutanix detailed Tuesday an early-access Agentic AI stack and a new multitenant AI portal for neocloud providers, aiming to run agent-like applications that act on instructions with secure, self-service controls.
  • The company put NKP Metal into early access to run Kubernetes directly on bare-metal servers for edge sites and dense GPU training, with general availability planned for the second half of 2026.
  • Shipping now, NUS 5.3 uses Smart Tiering to move data to Google Cloud and OVHCloud S3 and adds object quotas, NCM 2.0 centralizes multi-site management with on-prem cost tracking, and zero-copy migrations convert VMware workloads in place.
  • Service Provider Central entered early access to give partners strong tenant isolation and granular resource controls on shared GPU fleets, and new NCM metering supports billing by GPU time, API calls, or model use.
  • Customers gain more deployment choice through AWS GovCloud support now, planned AWS European Sovereign Cloud and Google Cloud bare-metal features later in 2026, and upcoming integrations across AMD, Cisco, Dell, Lenovo, and NetApp.
