Multiple launch events underway across Asia as new HPE ProLiant DX series hits market
Auckland, New Zealand – September 24, 2019: Enterprise Cloud leader, Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX) and HPE are accelerating their GreenLake partnership with a series of partner launch events across Asia Pacific to
celebrate the general availability (GA) of the new HPE ProLiant DX series appliances.
The 15-city tour has already received strong reviews from partners in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Bangkok, Seoul and
Tokyo with over 350 partners in attendance. It will continue across the remaining nine cities throughout September.
The announcement follows the April 2019 global partnership agreement between the technology leaders designed to deliver
a worldwide integrated hybrid cloud as a Service (aaS) solution and bring easier access to hyperconverged infrastructure
(HCI) for the world’s enterprises.
A primary component of the partnership is a newly developed ProLiant DX appliance series, built with HPE servers and
factory-installed Nutanix software, for on-premises operations.
The news comes as HCI and hybrid cloud continue to gain momentum throughout Asia, as businesses accelerate replacing
their aging IT infrastructure amid increasing competition. As the race to the cloud continues, the need for cloud ready
architecture is gaining pace.
Hence, the arrival of the Nutanix on HPE ProLiant DX appliance series looks set to intensify the battle for the soul of
Asia’s enterprises. Nutanix and HPE believe their open, flexible and interoperable model will prevail against the less
flexible and limited scope of rivals.
“The HPE ProLiant DX series puts Asia’s enterprises are in the driving seat.” said Matt Young, SVP and Head of Asia
Pacific and Japan, Nutanix. “As international competition intensifies and the threat of a global economic slowdown
continues, Asia’s enterprises will rely more and more on a future-ready infrastructure to provide the efficiencies and
productivity required to survive and thrive. Nutanix and HPE are providing the ideal means to help them do just that.”
“We are already seeing high levels of excitement and interest from A/NZ customers and partners now that Nutanix is
available on HPE ProLiant DX,” said Jamie Humphrey, Managing Director Australia and New Zealand, Nutanix. “Businesses
understand that their technology infrastructure is no longer fit for purpose and cannot simply be ‘patched’ or tinkered
with. DX now provides them with the means to modernise their datacentre on their terms; with the hardware and software
platform of their choice.”
The rapid rollout of Nutanix on the HPE ProLiant DX series is part of a continuing investment in Asia by Nutanix. The
investment includes a series of recent distributor and reseller agreements, strategic partnerships and alliances, and
rapid expansion of its regional marketing and salesforce.
