London, UK, April 3, 2013 Nutanix (www.nutanix.com), the first company to offer a scale-out compute-and-storage solution, today announced that it has reached a pan-European agreement with Exclusive Networks Group to distribute its all-in-one, converged compute and storage platform to six countries. Nutanix was chosen for its track record in bringing innovative solutions to market and for its ability to provide joint customers with a predictable and scalable infrastructure that can grow with the business, eliminating the need to over provision the datacenter.

Inspired by the datacenter architectures employed by the public cloud providers such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter, Nutanix brings to market a new virtual computing platform that eliminates the need for costly and complex SANs. The solution integrates storage and compute into one unified appliance that can scale-out from one to hundreds of nodes. This provides organisations with a simple, elastic and smart datacenter infrastructure in a box to run and grow virtualized applications effortlessly.

As Nutanix looks to continue its explosive growth and sign up more partners for its converged compute and storage appliance, it has turned to Exclusive Networks Group to engage and educate resellers to address fundamental datacenter issues such as poor scalability, lack of IT agility, network bottlenecks and unsustainable capital and operational costs.

“Consolidation, automation and mobilization present massive opportunities for VARs in the datacenter and cloud infrastructure space,” said Barrie Desmond, Director of Marketing and Global Accounts at Exclusive Networks Group. “Space, power, speed and efficiency are the four pillars of the Nutanix approach - a proposition that datacenter owners and business line managers are crying out for – optimized by consolidating compute and storage horsepower into a single footprint.”

"Nutanix is thrilled to be partnering with Exclusive Networks Group as a value-added distributor across UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Africa,” said Jan Ursi, Director EMEA, Channel Sales & Field Marketing at Nutanix. “In addition to its long-standing proven track record of delivering innovative solutions, Exclusive Networks Group provides extensive support to the channel. The partnership is a perfect match at a time when we are investing heavily in Europe and we look forward to working with the team to increase market share for our next generation solutions.”
