Dell Technologies today announced that Dell Private Cloud now supports Nutanix, giving organisations greater flexibility to scale compute and storage independently while maintaining operational simplicity.
The integration allows customers to pair Nutanix AHV with Dell external storage, combining hyperconverged simplicity with disaggregated infrastructure flexibility. Available immediately with Dell PowerFlex, and with Dell PowerStore integration arriving this summer in the U.S., the solution enables businesses to optimise storage performance based on workload requirements.
Meeting the Demand for Multi-Hypervisor Flexibility
As private cloud strategies evolve, IT leaders are increasingly prioritising flexibility over single-platform standardisation. According to industry data, 52% of IT leaders are evaluating multiple hypervisors to reduce vendor lock-in and enhance strategic control.
Dell Private Cloud addresses this shift by enabling organisations to:
- Deploy multiple hypervisors across workloads
- Scale compute and storage independently
- Maintain investment protection across existing infrastructure
- Operational Simplicity, Architectural Freedom
Built on Dell’s core principle of operational simplicity plus architectural freedom, the platform leverages the Dell Automation Platform to streamline:
- Day 0 deployment
- Day 1 administration
- Day 2 lifecycle management
The result is an appliance-like experience across Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell storage, while preserving customer choice across hypervisors. Dell Private Cloud already supports VMware and Red Hat OpenShift, and now extends that flexibility to Nutanix AHV.
“The shift to disaggregated infrastructure isn’t just architectural—it’s strategic. With Nutanix support, organisations can align platform choice with budget strategy, protect investments, and optimise long-term cost efficiency across multi-hypervisor environments,” said Caitlin Gordon, Vice President of Product Management for Private Cloud and AI Solutions, Dell Technologies.
With Nutanix support, Dell Private Cloud enables businesses to:
- Match resources to workload demands by pairing Nutanix AHV with Dell compute and storage
- Maintain operational continuity using familiar tools like Prism UI
- Simplify management through automation with unified solution-level support
- Protect existing investments by reusing Dell infrastructure without costly hardware replacement
Infrastructure Designed for Business Agility
By supporting VMware, Red Hat, and Nutanix within a unified automation framework, Dell Private Cloud delivers consistent operations across diverse workload environments. Organisations can select the right platform for each use case without increasing management complexity.
As enterprise IT environments become more dynamic, infrastructure must evolve in step. Dell’s expanded Nutanix support positions Dell Private Cloud as a flexible, future-ready foundation for modern hybrid and private cloud strategies.
