#Nutanix, the hard-charging #hyperconverged infrastructure company, has announced a strategic partnership with PC and server maker #Lenovo.
The partnership involves Lenovo and Nutanix jointly developing a new family of Lenovo appliances that will use Nutanix software, which will be sold by a dedicated global sales team, Lenovo channel partners worldwide, and Lenovo’s enterprise sales team.
The two companies have also signaled intentions to make “substantial investments in platform engineering and development, as well as aggressive go-to-market initiatives” according to the press release I received.
In a statement by Lenovo chairman and CEO, Yang Yuanqing, the company also appears to be making a not-so-subtle dig at server makers #Dell and #HP, saying “Lenovo can bring a new perspective to the global enterprise space. We do not have to protect old ways of thinking or entrenched ideas. Instead, we can build our business on innovation, and partner freely with the most innovative, leading companies in this space to create new solutions.”
