Our Commitment to Sustainability
As a global leader in cloud platform software, we realize technology has the potential to make significant impacts for sustainability efforts while accelerating transformation. It’s ingrained in what we do from our platform to our office spaces, to our work model. We remain committed to making a positive impact on our planet and in communities so that we can help create a viable, sustainable future.
Technology for the Greater Good
Our technology helps us and our customers better manage and reduce environmental impact. The core hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) technology in our Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) product offers an efficient, software-defined architecture that can lead to a significant reduction in IT hardware requirements, energy use, and waste, supporting a more sustainable approach to IT infrastructure.
On average, customers that shared their experiences using the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure solution reported over a 70% decrease in physical footprint and a 50% reduction in energy consumption versus their legacy systems. A reduction in energy consumption can lead to a decrease in carbon emissions, helping to minimize the environmental burden of an organization's IT systems.*
What’s more, our Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) technology stack as a whole provides visibility, simplifies management, and facilitates freedom of platform choice for customers’ applications and data. Products like NCI, the Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) platform, and the Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) console can help eliminate sprawl and overprovisioning of IT resources across public, managed, and on-prem clouds and have the ability to run applications and data anywhere. This means IT teams can run workloads based on focused priorities including cost, control, and carbon reduction goals.
Nutanix also works with its hardware partners to better measure and reduce the environmental impact of the hardware on which our software runs. Our platforms comply with the EU Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances and EU registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals (REACH) regulation. Nutanix has established a product recycling process supporting all EU customer locations as part of Nutanix’s EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) obligations. For the North America recycling program, Nutanix has partnered with our NX platform manufacturer and a recycler to provide recycling services. More product recycling information can be found here.
In 2023, we launched a tool to help practitioners understand how different factors can influence their environmental footprint by estimating annual power and emissions for various Nutanix solutions using Nutanix Validated Designs.

Such case studies are publicly available on the Nutanix website. Because potential customer outcomes depend on a variety of factors including their use case, individual requirements, and operating environments, these accounts should not be construed to be a promise or obligation to deliver specific outcomes.

Nowadays, it’s more than just saving money, it’s also about protecting the planet,” says Panganiban. “With Nutanix, we can do both.”
