IBM & Nutanix target AI and machine learning in new partnership

Nutanix made another strategic partnership; this one with IBM that will see Big Blue deliver Enterprise Cloud Platform on its line of Power server products. The strategy behind this partnership is for IBM and Nutanix to provide channel partners with a turnkey hyper-converged solution for large enterprise customers who are interested in private clouds. For IBM, they are looking to Nutanix for managing workloads such as big data, but also other intensive workloads such as machine learning, DevOps, and artificial intelligence (AI). IBM said they were looking for an alliance vendor partner with solutions that could scale. According to IBM, reliable storage, fast networks, and scalability combined are not featured on too many data centres in the market today.
