Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing,

storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, is joining the

"With 28 years of design, manufacturing, and service experience, Supermicro has

worked very closely with Nutanix for over a decade, and together we have

delivered many industry firsts," said Charles Liang, president, and CEO of

Supermicro. "Our BigTwin systems have become the de-facto platform for

hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), and the vast majority of Nutanix's

customers today are running on Supermicro server hardware. To provide even more

value to the market, Supermicro is now joining the Nutanix Elevate Partner

Program to offer hybrid multi-cloud solutions based on our new X12 generation

Ultra and BigTwin platforms to deliver higher performance at scale with shorter

lead-times."

The Nutanix Elevate Program for Resellers differs from traditional partner

programs. It has a unique emphasis on partner capabilities and competencies to

sell and support the Nutanix portfolio. As an enrolled participant, Supermicro

gains sales engagement support and standardized pricing through the existing

network of Nutanix distribution partners to enable Supermicro to sell Nutanix

solutions to customers.  

"The market recognizes Nutanix as the industry leader in providing unparalleled

freedom of choice," said Tarkan Maner, Chief Commercial Officer at Nutanix.

"With the addition of Supermicro as a Nutanix Elevate Partner - we can provide

even more flexibility and expertise to customers through the Supermicro

go-to-market organization."

The collaboration now expands beyond the portfolio of integrated products. For

example, Supermicro is now authorized to resell the line of Nutanix NX

appliances. These systems are based on the Supermicro X12 Ultra and

BigTwin(R)platforms fueled by 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with

built-in AI accelerators and optional all-flash NVMe storage, enabling

customers to select the suitable systems needed for the performance and

capabilities required for their workloads.

With this new agreement, Supermicro can offer additional Nutanix technologies

to its global customer base, enabling the adoption of hybrid multi-cloud

environments. Customers will receive support directly from Nutanix's customer

service organization. In addition, this extension of the partnership will allow

the two companies to accelerate the procurement and deployment of Supermicro

and Nutanix solutions long proven in the market. Many workloads in various

industries will benefit from this partnership and the Nutanix solution,

including analytics, VDI, Remote Office/Branch Office, databases, and

mission-critical applications.
