Emerge has announced a strategic partnership with Nutanix, a global leader in hybrid multicloud computing. The partnership positions Emerge to deliver Nutanix’s industry-leading hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and cloud platform solutions to enterprise clients seeking simplified operations, enhanced security, and scalable hybrid cloud architecture.
Through its partnership with Nutanix, Emerge gains access to advanced technical resources and comprehensive training and certification, enhancing its ability to design, deploy, and manage sophisticated hybrid cloud environments for clients across manufacturing, professional services, and other industries.
“This partnership represents a significant milestone in our mission to deliver world-class cloud infrastructure solutions,” says Richard Brown, CEO of Emerge. “Nutanix’s technology aligns perfectly with what our customers need today: operational simplicity, predictable costs, and enterprise-grade security built into the architecture from day one.”
The partnership addresses growing enterprise demand for hybrid cloud solutions that provide flexibility without complexity. Organizations increasingly seek alternatives to traditional three-tier infrastructure that can deliver consistent management across on-premises data centers, private-hosted clouds, and public cloud environments, while maintaining stringent security and compliance requirements.
Three Consumption Models
Through the partnership, Emerge will offer clients three flexible consumption models for Nutanix infrastructure:
On-Premises Deployment: Organizations maintain complete control with infrastructure deployed in their own data centers, fully managed and monitored by Emerge’s certified engineers with 24/7 support.
Private Hosted Cloud: Emerge delivers and operates dedicated Nutanix infrastructure in secure, isolated environments, providing enterprise-grade resilience and simplified capacity planning without data center overhead.
Hybrid Architecture: Clients can seamlessly combine on-premises and hosted cloud deployments in a unified management plane, enabling workload mobility, disaster recovery, and multi-cloud flexibility orchestrated through a single control point.
“Our expertise goes far beyond simply reselling technology,” Brown says. “We’ve built an operational practice around Nutanix that includes certified engineers, advanced automation, AI-driven monitoring, and proven processes for delivering consistent uptime, performance, and cost optimization. Our customers get the full benefit of Nutanix’s innovation combined with our decades of experience and our unmatched customer service.”
Advanced Security and Compliance
This partnership enables Emerge to deliver sophisticated security capabilities embedded in the Nutanix platform, including micro-segmentation to prevent lateral threat movement, AES-256 encryption for data at rest and in transit, and built-in compliance support for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and CMMC 2.0 requirements.
“With Nutanix, security is built into the architecture from day one,” says Jeff Aiken, Cyber Security Manager at Emerge. “This partnership allows us to deliver infrastructure that’s secure by design, with cyber resilience capabilities that help organizations recover quickly from ransomware and other threats.”
AI-Powered Infrastructure Operations
The partnership leverages Nutanix’s integration with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities for both infrastructure management and customer AI workload deployment. Emerge’s operations team will utilize predictive maintenance, intelligent capacity planning, and automated remediation to deliver superior service levels. At the same time, clients can deploy their own AI applications with privacy and security guarantees.
“The ability to manage everything from one pane of glass is a game-changer for IT teams,”. “Nutanix solutions reduce complexity and free up resources for innovation,” says Jesse Kegley, Chief Revenue Officer at Emerge. “Combined with our value-based pricing model that delivers predictable monthly costs without surprise licensing fees, we’re able to help clients transform infrastructure from a capital burden into a strategic, consumable service.”
Proven Technology Foundation
Nutanix serves more than 28,000 customers globally, with an average Net Promoter Score of 90+ over 10 years. The company’s Elevate Partner Program has received consistent recognition, including a 5-star rating in the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide, reflecting its commitment to partner success and channel-first approach.
The Nutanix Cloud Platform integrates compute, storage, networking, and virtualization into a single software-defined solution that eliminates operational silos, supports both virtual machines and Kubernetes containers, and provides integrated data protection and disaster recovery capabilities without requiring separate point products.
Availability and Next Steps
Emerge’s Nutanix-based solutions are available immediately to new and existing customers. Organizations interested in exploring hybrid cloud infrastructure options can schedule a discovery consultation to assess current infrastructure, define optimal architecture, and develop a migration roadmap.
“Our clients aren’t just looking for infrastructure; they’re looking for a strategic partner who can help them modernize and grow,” says Brown. “This partnership with Nutanix, combined with our operational excellence and deep technical expertise, positions us to deliver exactly that.”
