What if any IT professional could run and scale up the most powerful data center in the world...from almost anywhere using a smartphone? 

That may seem like a pipedream to many, but some IT operations function like this today as evidenced by the continuity of business during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this video produced by FreeThink, Nutanix CIO Wendy M. Pfeiffer describes how businesses can control their future with software-powered hybrid multicloud computing IT operations.

When she joined Nutanix as CIO in 2017, Pfeiffer set her sights on getting the enterprise software company to drink its own champagne. She was determined to run the company’s IT using technology it makes and sells around the world.

Her team set out to fuse hybrid multicloud capabilities, including hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), with automation powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence. After the transformation was completed, she told the story in an ebook called Charting the Course to Cloud, which was also released as a Tech Barometer podcasts series.
