Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, today announced new capabilities in its Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) solution designed to give organisations greater flexibility to deploy and govern their infrastructure across distributed environments running traditional, modern, and AI applications, including fully disconnected environments, with cloud  providers that offer sovereign services, or across a combination of both – without  sacrificing unified management or operational simplicity.

As organisations expand across multiple regions and cloud environments, many face increasing complexity in meeting sovereignty and business continuity expectations. At the same time, they must maintain operational flexibility without being tied to a single cloud vendor ecosystem – a key principle for resilience and sovereignty.

New capabilities in NCP give customers more choice in how they run and govern infrastructure – across their own environments and with cloud providers that offer sovereign services – enabling greater focus on resilience, security and control, and  global management. These updates also strengthen the platform’s ability to support secure, governed cloud native and AI workloads through new security capabilities in the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) and Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI) solutions.

“As sovereign cloud architectures become a defining priority for organisations, we’re introducing several enhancements to the Nutanix Cloud Platform that help  customers meet these needs without giving up the advantages of a distributed cloud infrastructure,” said Thomas Cornely, Executive Vice President of Product  Management at Nutanix. “These new capabilities give customers the clarity and  control needed to draw their own sovereign boundaries across distributed  environments and leverage the resiliency and flexibility that distributed clouds  provide.”

Stronger Security and Control for Sovereignty-Aligned Architectures

NCP now provides orchestrated lifecycle management of multiple dark-site environments, along with on-premises deployment options for governance and  control planes. The Nutanix Central solution, which simplifies distributed cloud  management, can now run in customer controlled on-premises environments. Additionally, Nutanix Data Lens, which simplifies unstructured data security,  governance, and ransomware resilience, will also soon run in customer controlled on premises environments.

Nutanix is also expanding support across its partner ecosystem. The Nutanix  Government Cloud Clusters (GC2) solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS), now available, adds capabilities for federal agencies in the United States to build and  operate a distributed sovereign cloud. GC2 on AWS keeps orchestration inside the  government agency’s environment with no external SaaS or shared credentials,  enabling Nutanix clusters to run fully within their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud  (Amazon VPC).

The Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) solution on Google Cloud is now generally available, offering customers in 17 regions worldwide more ways to modernise their infrastructure. New Microsoft Azure and AWS Regions in the United States provide  customers with more flexibility in deploying sovereignty-aligned and regionally  compliant environments. In Europe, NC2 is available on OVHcloud secure and trusted cloud.

Continuing with our focus on providing assurances to our customers about the  security and compliance of our Cloud Services, NC2 on Azure and AWS successfully completed its annual SOC 2 Type 2 audit and achieved the renewal of its ISO 27001,  27017, 27018, 27701, and 22301 certifications. Additionally, in 2025, NC2 on Azure  received its CSA Star Level 2 Certification for the first time. These attestations and  certifications provide independent validation that NC2 controls supporting the  security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy of the system have operated  effectively and been maintained against these audited standards for the 2024-2025  period. These achievements provide independent validation of Nutanix’s security and  compliance controls, offering NC2 customers greater confidence that the system managed by Nutanix adheres to globally recognised standards.

NKP will include a FIPS 140-3–validated and STIG-compliant Ubuntu Pro image option  that is currently under development to further strengthen the platform for  organisations with strict security and compliance requirements, including those  running sensitive or regulated AI workloads. Nutanix is also extending VPC-based  isolation, network load balancing, and microsegmentation capabilities to containerised workloads to give customers consistent control across VMs and containers.

With the recent release of government-ready NVIDIA AI Enterprise software branches,  NAI customers can now deploy leading AI models with NVIDIA NIM microservices  running in containers that are STIG-hardened and FIPS-enabled. Additional NAI  security enhancements include stronger identity integration, fine-grained access controls for models, and expanded logging and monitoring to support governed AI  workloads. New object detection and data parsing NVIDIA NIM microservices have  also been qualified and added into NAI.

Enhanced Resilience for Distributed Operations 

New capabilities for NCP strengthen resilience by enabling customers to maintain  application availability across sites and regions during outages, essential for  sovereignty-aligned environments that must avoid single-site or single-vendor dependency and manage risk of exposure to actions by foreign jurisdictions.

Teams can now apply sophisticated tiered disaster recovery options that match protection levels to each workload, for additional fault tolerance and cyber recovery  resilience. New capabilities help ensure business continuity even in the event of up to  three site or region failures. Integration of multicloud snapshots into the tiered approach ensures an added layer of protection for cyber-resilience objectives. Security policies stay consistent during failover and live migration, reducing operational gaps  when workloads move.

Enhanced features of the Nutanix Data Services for Kubernetes solution extend tiered  synchronous and asynchronous disaster recovery protections to containers with both block and file data, enabling organisations’ governance and compliance objectives for modern Kubernetes applications including AI-native applications.

Unified Global Management Across Environments 

NCP now offers stronger management capabilities that streamline how distributed  environments are deployed and operated, giving customers more consistent control  across their own sites and sovereignty-aligned cloud providers. Nutanix Infrastructure Manager, a new automation tool, streamlines deployments using validated, fully tested design patterns, making it easier to stand up and maintain data centre environments.

A unified network control plane provides a single view of VLANs, virtual networks, and  microsegmentation policies, giving administrators centralised visibility and control across the entire network including on-premise and public cloud environments.

Management of Kubernetes and AI environments will also become more seamless, since the NKP clusters will automatically register into Nutanix Prism Central for immediate infrastructure-level visibility. NAI also adds a new LLM metrics dashboard  that provides great insight into request and token activity, helping teams better  monitor and manage AI workloads.
