The Challenge Isn't Adopting Cloud Native.
It’s Operating It at Scale.
Most organizations today assemble a fragmented cloud native stack, managing virtual machines, Kubernetes®, and storage on separate platforms. This creates immense operational overhead, complex tooling, and increased risk to critical workloads.
You don't need another point solution to stitch together. You need a unified platform so your teams can focus on innovation—not integration.
Are Your Cloud Native Operations Ready for Scale?
Take our one-minute maturity assessment to evaluate operational consistency, tool sprawl, governance, and efficiency across all your environments.
Modernize on Your Own Terms.
Explore how Nutanix is engineered to run a dual-native platform so you can achieve consistent operations and reliability across all your workloads.
Unify VMs & Containers
Stop running VMs and Kubernetes on separate platforms that can increase complexity and costs.
One Dual Native Platform for Any Workload:
Avoid infrastructure silos by running VM-based legacy workloads and containers side-by-side, on a single operating platform with enterprise-grade support.
True Hybrid Cloud Mobility:
Maintain a consistent operating model to run, migrate, and scale workloads seamlessly across on-prem, public cloud, and edge environments.
Enterprise Data Services:
Protect stateful container applications with unified disaster recovery and automated backup policies.
Enterprise-Grade Kubernetes Platform
Ditch fragile custom scripts, endless dependency drift, and multi-cluster sprawl.
Automated Fleet Management:
Easily provision, patch, and scale fleets of Kubernetes clusters across hybrid environments, all from a single control plane with built-in security and governance.
Pure Upstream Standards:
Maintain complete ecosystem flexibility with no vendor lock-in by leveraging open CNCF standards.
Accelerate Developer Velocity:
Skip the hassle of integrating dozens of separate open-source tools, by deploying a pre-validated, turnkey platform layer on day one.
Operating at Scale Shouldn’t Be Just a Theory.
Production Is the Proof.

Rakuten Builds Cloud Native European Bank From Scratch With Nutanix
"As a new venture with no legacy technologies to worry about, we could build Rakuten Europe Bank using whatever platform and technology we wanted, but for compliance, it had to be on-premises. Fortunately, by choosing Nutanix, we were able to comply with the regulations while still pushing ahead with plans to build modern cloud-native applications."

FAQs
No. NKP is built on upstream Kubernetes, and leverages open standards, including Cluster API, to simplify Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management across diverse environments. This standards-based approach helps organizations maintain compatibility with the broader Kubernetes/CNCF ecosystem, while avoiding dependence on proprietary Kubernetes implementations.
Nutanix Data Services for Kubernetes (NDK) extends enterprise data services to Kubernetes applications, providing application-centric snapshots, replication, backup, recovery, and disaster recovery for stateful workloads. This enables organizations to apply consistent, enterprise-grade data protection policies across their cloud-native applications, while simplifying Kubernetes operations.
