Welcome to the EUC Community at .NEXT: Where the Virtual Desktop Ecosystem Comes to Life

If there’s one place at .NEXT destined to be louder, busier, and more caffeinated than the rest, it’s the EUC Community. Not because we’re giving away free socks (although someone probably is), but because this year marks a milestone we’ve been building on for a long time: more than a dozen EUC partners confirmed as sponsors!!

A First for First‑Years

Among those fifteen sponsors, we’re welcoming a set of first‑year sponsors who are bringing fresh energy and in some cases, new perspectives into the fold.

The Freshman Class:

• Nerdio - Windows technologies management and orchestration software
• Apporto -  cloud-based (VDI) and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution
• Leostream - remote desktop access platform and connection broker
• Lakeside - monitors IT endpoint performance (laptops, virtual desktops) to improve productivity.

Think of them as the new neighbors moving into an already thriving community, people you immediately want to invite over because they make the whole street cooler. And yes, all of them will be right there in the EUC Community, showing how they make remote virtual desktops the preferred solution for enterprises to deploy flexible, secure and performant desktops powered by Nutanix.

One of the biggest additions this year is a dedicated Microsoft satellite booth, right inside the EUC Community. Not next to it. Not near it. Inside it! Come check out the latest innovations from the Microsoft Windows technologies team and innovative virtual desktop solutions. 

That’s a subtle but powerful statement about where the momentum in end‑user computing is heading, especially as hybrid cloud desktop models continue to take center stage. If you’ve ever wanted a one‑stop place to understand how Nutanix and Microsoft align in the EUC world, this is your stop.

We’re also spotlighting the latest partner story with Omnissa Horizon. With hundreds of Horizon on Nutanix AHV Beta sign-ups and since the GA launch three months ago there have been a significant number of customer deployments across industries from healthcare, finance, education, energy and many more. 

New this year we are celebrating the increasing alignment with Nerdio which will be very active this year. Stay tuned for more innovation to come from this segment! 

In the EUC Community area you can also see:

• What’s new with Omnissa on Nutanix
• Nerdio’s orchestration and automation for Hybrid EUC
• Kasm Technologies Virtual Workspaces on Nutanix Kubernetes Platform

Announcements are coming at .NEXT, so consider this your official heads-up that you’ll want to pay attention to the EUC track.

This year’s EUC program is packed with over 9 breakout sessions, multiple theater sessions, and a lineup that ranges from architecture deep dives to best practices to performance optimization.

My must see sessions include:

1. Executive EUC Leadership Forum  
2. New Horizons: Running Omnissa on Nutanix 
3. Seamless Integration: Nutanix + Citrix Transform End‑User Computing 
4. Moving On Up: Simplifying EUC Workload Migration with Nutanix
5. Beyond the Benchmark: Predictable, High‑Density EUC Performance with Nutanix
6. Protect the Workload: How Nutanix Simplifies Disaster Recovery for EUC
7. Nerdio 

Between the breakouts and the theater stage, you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to learn, connect, and ask the questions you were too shy to ask last year.

Walking through the EUC Community this year is going to feel a bit like a choose‑your‑own‑adventure game. Except every path is the right one.

It’s the most complete representation of end‑user computing we’ve ever had on the .NEXT show floor.
