Nutanix, a leader in hybrid cloud computing, has announced its acquisition of Ryax Technologies (Ryax), an AI-driven compute orchestration and management platform company based in France. The acquisition will accelerate Nutanix’s strategy to empower enterprises to build, run and govern Agentic AI anywhere by integrating the Ryax platform’s advanced GPU utilisation and smart scheduling capabilities directly into Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) and Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI).
The rapid expansion of Agentic AI is driving up the demand for efficient inference workloads across the enterprise. However, GPU shortages and fragmented infrastructure have led many organisations to split their compute footprint across private data centres, hyper-scalers and neoclouds to find available capacity.
The Ryax platform is designed to resolve these challenges by automating the underlying infrastructure, data, hardware and code to help customers deploy AI projects faster, more cost-effectively and more reliably.
Reshma Naik, Senior Director for Presales, Middle East and Africa at Nutanix said: “Across the MEA region, organisations are moving quickly from AI experimentation to deploying intelligent, Agentic AI at scale. The acquisition of Ryax Technologies strengthens Nutanix’s ability to help customers optimise AI workloads and make more efficient use of CPU and GPU resources across hybrid environments. As enterprises in the region seek to scale AI while managing cost, performance and data sovereignty, this capability will help simplify the infrastructure challenge and enable organisations to focus on turning AI innovation into tangible business outcomes.
