The Future is Agentic: Scaling Governed, Cost-Efficient Enterprise AI

Autonomous agents are transforming the enterprise by automating complex workflows. Shifting from pilots to managing thousands of agents requires reimagining infrastructure and governance. Early AI stacks were optimised for model training, but AI coworkers demand a platform built for massive concurrency. This session deconstructs the full-stack architecture powering the Nutanix AI Factory. See how a cloud operating model provides the security, multi-tenancy, and operational simplicity needed to manage Agentic AI at scale while optimising economics.

Achieving Data Resilience with Veeam and Nutanix

Partner presentation from Veeam

In 2026, protecting a Nutanix environment means protecting far more than virtual machines. Between the ongoing hypervisor hunger games, stateful Kubernetes workloads showing up on Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), and unstructured data sitting in Nutanix Files, teams are defending a much bigger surface than just a few years ago. This session follows three scenarios Nutanix customers are living right now:

• Treating the same backup as an escape hatch and a sandbox — ready to restore onto another platform in a crisis or spin up on demand to test drive a workload, build in dev, or preview next year's migration.
• Protecting the workloads your backup strategy might be missing (K8s, PaaS, SaaS).
•  Getting through whatever bad day hits — attack, outage, or human error — with a clean recovery instead of a scramble.

We'll close by looking at a question most backup strategies never ask: do you know what's in that data — where sensitive information lives, who can reach it, and whether it's fit to feed the AI initiatives now landing on the same estate — and what good data hygiene looks like once you do.

Through the Prism: How Parallels RAS Brings Nutanix Into Focus

Partner presentation from Parallels

Attendees will leave with a clear view of where the Parallels and Nutanix roadmap is heading and why the tighter Prism Central alignment matters for anyone running virtual workspaces at scale.
