Nutanix Named Challenger In 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant
Nutanix has announced it has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management. This marks Nutanix's recognition for the first time in this Magic Quadrant following the launch of its Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution last year. Nutanix launched NKP following the integration of D2iQ, Inc.'s Kubernetes Platform, enabling Nutanix to quickly deliver a production-ready enterprise solution for managing cloud native applications across diverse environments. This gives Nutanix customers the ability to run modern and traditional applications on the same platform anywhere, including in their datacenter, at the edge, or in public clouds on either virtualized underlays, bare metal, or native public cloud Kubernetes® environments. 'We're delighted to be recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management, which we believe is testament to our relentless focus on product innovation and customer success,' said Lee Caswell, SVP Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix. 'Our open and complete NKP solution complements our existing portfolio both architecturally and in go-to-market execution, giving customers a seamless path to modernize their applications while simplifying operations across hybrid multicloud environments.' Nutanix customers worldwide, including a leading North American financial services firm which discussed their use case in this video, are using NKP to innovate faster with an open, CNCF-compliant cloud native stack that gives platform engineering teams a consistent operating model for securely managing Kubernetes clusters. NKP avoids operational complexity, simplifying monitoring, and managing containers. Another customer using NKP is Karnataka Bank in India, which is running its critical business applications, including cloud native customer-facing ones, on the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) solution, which supports Kubernetes. The applications running on NCP enable the bank to provide services such as mobile and Internet banking, fraud and risk management, loan management, and much more. The bank is also running a cloud native digital currency application required by the Reserve Bank of India on NCP. 'Our customers are digitally savvy, so this requires us to quickly roll-out and provide cloud native applications that are easy to use, can be easily updated, and are always available,' said Venkat Krishnan, CIO, Karnataka Bank. 'Nutanix's platform, ability to support Kubernetes, and professional services enable us to deploy the applications required by the marketplace we serve and regulators.' Nutanix continued to innovate in the container space with the introduction of its Cloud Native AOS solution earlier this year—extending Nutanix's enterprise storage and advanced data services to hyperscaler Kubernetes services and bare metal cloud native environments, all without requiring a hypervisor. The Cloud Native AOS solution is now available globally.
