The two hour programme included partner awards being announced at the end.

Bassam Al Masri, Director of Channel, METI at Nutanix said, “As a result of the COVID-19 virus impact on businesses, we have had to come up with a novel way of connecting with our partners and reinvent our annual partner summit as a virtual event. By sharing our company’s vision and roadmap and providing insights into the latest innovations in our products and partner program, we believe we have set our channel partners up for success this year and beyond. We take this opportunity to congratulate all the partners that won awards, and thank them for their continued commitment to driving growth for our company.”

During the virtual event, executives from Nutanix delivered a number of sessions enlightening partners about how they could benefit from the technical and business advantages of the cloud offered by Nutanix, such as infrastructure-independent and automated app mobility, scalability, flexibility and elasticity. Insights were also provided on how partners can maximise their organisations’ profitability with the ‘enhanced’ Nutanix Channel Charter.

GBM, a Nutanix strategic Master Partner, presented a video case study involving a prestigious government agency that implemented a Nutanix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution for 2000+ users. This was based on Nutanix’s latest offer called FastTrack for VDI that supports companies anywhere in the world to quickly deploy a VDI solution and onboard thousands of remote employees in record time.

In order to keep the session fun and interactive, Nutanix organised a quiz with participants having a chance to be one of the three winners of exciting prizes. There was also a raffle draw.

The programme concluded with the partner awards. Below is the list of partners that were recognised for their excellence:
