Fastest Growing Enterprise Infrastructure Company of the Past Decade Expands International Footprint, Partner Network and Employee Headcount
San Jose, California. May 8, 2013.
Nutanix, the leading provider of hyper-efficient, massively scalable and elegantly simple datacenter infrastructure solutions, today released information regarding the company’s performance since shipping its first Virtual Computing Platform in late 2011. In just six quarters, Nutanix has grown at 80 percent quarter-over-quarter and achieved an annualized run rate of over $80 million, eclipsing the market adoption velocity of all storage, networking and infrastructure startups since the early 2000s.
Over the past year, Nutanix has also made significant strides in growing its customer and partner base, scaling customer deployments, adding significant headcount, expanding internationally and doubling the size of its headquarters. Global 2000 companies, medium to large sized enterprises and government agencies have overwhelmingly responded to Nutanix’s innovative solution for enterprise datacenters, which seamlessly and natively converges compute and storage into a single appliance.
According to Gartner1, “IT organizations are moving toward data center convergence, forcing storage architects to re-evaluate SAN protocol selections, storage processes, and best practices.”
Recently named a “Cool Vendor in Server Technology2” by Gartner, Nutanix was recognized by the analyst firm for its clustered, appliance-based approach to compute and storage, which effectively eliminates the need for a storage area network.
To keep up with the company’s growth and customer demand for Nutanix’s breakthrough approach to datacenter architectures, Nutanix has added more than 100 employees in the past 12 months and has opened new offices in Belgium, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea and the United Kingdom during the same time period, including parts depots across the world.
