Expert Statements
Matthew Thauberger, Chief Revenue Officer, Supermicro
“Collaborating with Nutanix, we want to accelerate time-to-online for enterprise AI”
Matthew Thauberger, Chief Revenue Officer, Supermicro
“Combining Supermicro’s engineered servers with Nutanix’s full-stack software will deliver a pre-validated, rack-scale solution that bypasses traditional lead-time delays.”
Matthew Thauberger, Chief Revenue Officer, Supermicro
“It will help give organizations predictable access to high-density GPU compute while removing the operational complexity of scaling AI.”
Thomas Cornely, Executive Vice President, Product Management, Nutanix
“Moving AI from experimentation into production remains a challenge for many enterprises, with infrastructure complexity and hardware procurement often slowing progress. Our expanded collaboration with Supermicro is a direct response to this barrier”
Thomas Cornely, Executive Vice President, Product Management, Nutanix
“The Supermicro systems, engineered with our Nutanix Agentic AI full stack software, will help enterprises simplify how AI infrastructure is deployed, operated, and secured, and scaled, enabling them to simply deploy private inference and control the cost per token as AI adoption scales.”
Matt Kimball, Vice President & Principal Analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy
“The AI imperative is shifting from simply building raw compute capacity to optimizing the cost and efficiency of every inference delivered. Hardware, memory, networking, model optimization, and orchestration all need to be managed as a system if organizations are going to scale inference efficiently and translate AI investment into real business outcomes.”
News Summary * Nutanix and Supermicro are expanding their collaboration to help enterprises lower the cost per token of private AI inference and accelerate adoption of open-weight models through a planned engineered, full stack infrastructure solution. * The solution will enable enterprises to accelerate AI inference workloads and facilitate securing critical on-premises GPU resources. * The solution will combine Supermicro servers with Nutanix Agentic AI full stack software designed to reduce custom-order, configuration, and integration complexity, giving customers a more predictable way to deploy, manage, and scale on-premises GPU infrastructure. Why it Matters
For customers, this means AI cost control and a faster path to putting production AI to work because of operational simplicity due to less time that will be spent assembling and integrating multivendor environments.
