Nutanix Launches Multicloud Experts Community in EMEA

Nutanix, a global leader in hybrid multicloud computing, has unveiled its Multicloud Experts (MC Experts) community in the EMEA region. This forward-thinking initiative is designed to create a collaborative platform where cloud specialists can share knowledge, pool resources, and provide mutual support, empowering businesses to navigate the complexities of the multicloud environment effectively.

Addressing the Realities of Multicloud

Cloud computing projects increasingly involve multiple platforms and providers. According to the 2024 Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) report, 64% of organizations plan to implement a multicloud strategy within the next three years. Recognizing this trend, Nutanix has emphasized the need for diverse expertise in multicloud solutions, spanning private and public clouds as well as edge computing.

“The MC Experts community reflects the growing importance of cross-platform knowledge in today’s cloud landscape,” said Paulo Pereira, VP of Pre-Sales and Systems Engineering at Nutanix. “By fostering collaboration and shared learning, we aim to equip businesses with the tools to succeed in an increasingly interconnected multicloud environment.”

How the MC Experts Community Works

The MC Experts community is composed of carefully selected cloud professionals, each contributing expertise across a range of platforms. Key features of the initiative include:

• Interactive Knowledge Sharing: Members will participate in webinars, hands-on labs, and certification programs, fostering a vibrant, engaged community.
• Quarterly Challenges: Designed to deepen expertise, these challenges encourage innovation and skill development.
• Collaborative Tools: A dedicated Slack channel will facilitate real-time communication, enabling seamless interaction among members and Nutanix’s team of engineers, product managers, and cloud technologists.
• Discovery Plans: Every six months, the community will explore new topics, industry trends, and best practices to ensure ongoing growth and adaptation.

“Cloud projects thrive on collaboration,” Pereira added. “The MC Experts initiative embodies this principle, uniting specialists from diverse areas to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the cloud ecosystem.”

Nutanix’s Commitment to Community Development

As the driving force behind MC Experts, Nutanix is committed to supporting the community through:

• Exclusive Tools and Resources: Free access to training, certification programs, and hands-on experience with real-world cloud projects.
• Engagement and Interaction: Regular Q&A sessions and feedback loops to ensure active participation and continuous improvement.
• Continuous Growth: Biannual inclusion of new members to expand the community’s reach and incorporate fresh perspectives.

Expanding the Vision

Looking ahead, Nutanix aims to grow the MC Experts community to over 360 professionals, creating a global network of cloud specialists who collaborate across industries and borders.

“The MC Experts community goes beyond knowledge-sharing. It’s a space for innovation and problem-solving,” said Pereira. “By fostering these collaborations, we’re helping customers accelerate their cloud transformation and unlock new opportunities for growth worldwide.”

With the launch of the MC Experts community, Nutanix reaffirms its leadership in the multicloud space, empowering businesses to overcome challenges and harness the full potential of their cloud investments.
