May is one of the busiest months on the IT conference circuit. Tens of thousands of attendees come together to learn about trends and the latest and greatest in the industry. This was a great opportunity to connect and share with IT professionals from organizations of all sizes on the concept of shaping up their datacenter with hyperconverged infrastructure and web-scale technologies.
Nutanix was a Gold sponsor at two of the biggest IT shows of the summer hosted by our strategic partners — Microsoft Ignite (#msignite) in Chicago and Citrix Synergy (#citrixsynergy) in Orlando.
Our Nutanix experts showcased many solutions and hosted over 90+ informative sessions at both shows, and we have compiled a list of resources for you to explore further:
Power of private and hybrid cloud
- From Container to Cloud with Nutanix and Microsoft
- Nutanix Demo on Shadow Clones for Microsoft Environments
