Accenture and Nutanix: Accelerating Hybrid Cloud Innovation Together 

By Divya Gopalan, Gaetan Verhegge, Accenture

As infrastructure estates grow more distributed, many organizations are struggling with increasing complexity—spanning legacy systems, multiple cloud platforms, rising operational costs and growing demands for resilience and performance. Hybrid cloud has emerged as a practical model for balancing flexibility and control, but executing it at scale remains a challenge

Many organizations are looking for a more consistent, repeatable way to modernize infrastructure without disrupting critical operations or locking themselves into rigid architectures.

Addressing the Real Barriers to Hybrid Cloud Adoption

Successful adoption of hybrid clouds requires more than new platforms—it requires the ability to migrate, operate and evolve infrastructure with consistency across environments. Organizations need to operate across on‑premises, private cloud and public cloud environments without adding layers of operational complexity or compromising security and governance.

This is where Accenture and Nutanix work together in practice. By aligning Accenture’s deep experience in infrastructure transformation and large‑scale delivery with Nutanix’s hybrid cloud platform, organizations can pursue  a more integrated path to modernizing infrastructure—without adding unnecessary operational overhead.

Rather than approaching hybrid cloud as a one‑time technology deployment, the partnership is focused on helping clients address real adoption barriers: reducing complexity, improving workload portability, and creating a consistent operating model across environments..

Reducing Risk and Complexity in Large‑Scale Infrastructure Modernization

One of the biggest obstacles to infrastructure modernization is migration risk—downtime, disruption, and the sheer effort required to move and modernize workloads at scale. Accenture’s Migration Factory is designed to address these challenges by providing a structured, repeatable approach to large‑scale infrastructure transitions.

Built to support organizations modernizing onto platforms like Nutanix’s unified hybrid platform, the Migration Factory helps teams move with greater speed and confidence while minimizing operational disruption.

This approach helps organizations simplify day‑to‑day operations, improve workload portability across environments, and prepare their infrastructure for emerging demands— including AI‑driven workloads that require greater flexibility and performance.

The Migration Factory provides:

  • Repeatable methodologies for complex, large-scale migrations
  • Automation that streamlines assessment, planning and execution
  • Experienced teams that help manage risk and maintain business continuity 

By leveraging this approach, organizations can reduce the complexity and time required to modernize their infrastructure—while supporting business continuity.

Using AI to Improve Decisions and Day‑to‑Day Operations

As infrastructure environments become more complex, organizations are increasingly turning to AI to improve how they assess, manage, and optimize workloads over time. From intelligent workload assessment to predictive optimization and automated operations, Accenture and Nutanix are embedding AI to: 

  • Identify the right workloads to migrate and modernize first
  • Reduce manual effort across operations
  • Drive continuous optimization of performance and cost efficiency

 This AI-augmented approach is designed to help customers migrate and support ongoing optimization of their environments for the future.

These topics will be explored further at Nutanix .NEXT in Chicago (April 7–9), where Accenture will share practical examples of how organizations are modernizing hybrid environments at scale.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn more about the Accenture Migration Factory
  • Explore real-world customer success stories
  • Engage with experts from both organizations
  • Discover how AI is transforming hybrid cloud operations

Moving Forward, Together

Modernizing infrastructure is no longer a one‑time initiative—it’s an ongoing effort to simplify operations, manage complexity, and create a foundation that can evolve with the business.

Together, Accenture and Nutanix bring delivery experience and platform capabilities closer together, helping organizations not only enable hybrid cloud, but adopt, manage, and evolve it in a way that supports long‑term resilience and innovation.
