Dell Technologies expands its Private Cloud with Nutanix support

Dell Technologies has expanded Dell Private Cloud to support Nutanix, enabling organisations to pair Nutanix AHV with Dell external storage for independent compute and storage scaling. The move strengthens multi-hypervisor flexibility, simplifies lifecycle management through automation, and helps enterprises avoid vendor lock-in while protecting existing infrastructure investments.

The conversation around private cloud strategy has evolved. IT leaders no longer ask "which platform?" but rather "how do I build an infrastructure that adapts to our changing requirements?"

With 52% of IT leaders now considering multiple hypervisor options as a strategic approach to avoid vendor lock-in, adopting flexible infrastructure has shifted from a technical preference to a business-critical necessity. Organisations need flexible solutions that align with their business strategy, not the other way around.

Expanding the Nutanix Ecosystem

Dell Private Cloud was built on a core principle: operational simplicity plus architectural freedom. Through Dell Automation Platform's intelligent automation— handling Day 0 deployment, Day 1 administration, and Day 2 lifecycle management—Dell provides an appliance-like experience across Dell PowerEdge compute and Dell storage.

Organisations can scale resources independently and choose the right hypervisor for each workload. Dell started with VMware support, expanded to Red Hat OpenShift, and today it announced the next milestone: Dell Private Cloud deploying Nutanix. Customers can deploy with Dell PowerFlex today, with our flagship Dell PowerStore integration coming this US summer, giving flexible options to match storage performance to their workload demands.

Speaking on the value this delivers for businesses, Caitlin Gordon, Vice President of Product Management for Private Cloud and AI Solutions for Dell Technologies, said “The shift to disaggregated infrastructure isn't just architectural, it's strategic. With Nutanix support, the economic advantage extends across an organisation’s multi-hypervisor strategy. They can not only choose the right platform, they can do it in a way that protects their budget and optimises cost efficiency.”

Dell Private Cloud deploying Nutanix provides new ways to match infrastructure to workload demands while maintaining operational consistency:

·  Match resources to requirements: Pair Nutanix AHV with Dell infrastructure to align compute and storage with an organisation’s specific needs

·  Maintain operational continuity: Teams continue using familiar tools like Prism UI without workflow disruption

·  Simplify through automation: Dell Automation Platform handles Day 0–2 deployment and lifecycle management, with solution-level support across automation, compute, storage, and hypervisor layers.

·  Protect an organisation’s investments: Reuse existing Dell infrastructure to scale workloads as needed—flexibility without replacing hardware.

Building Infrastructure That Empowers Progress

With support for VMware, Red Hat, and now Nutanix, Dell Private Cloud delivers a consistent foundation across diverse workload requirements. Organisations can deploy the right platform for each workload without multiplying management complexity, match infrastructure investments to actual demand, and adapt as business priorities shift.

As a business evolves, their infrastructure should accelerate that evolution, not constrain it. This is infrastructure built for a future that hasn't been written yet.
