Insights
Nutanix's first-time recognition in Gartner's Container Management quadrant validates their Kubernetes strategy following D2iQ acquisition.
Nutanix's debut as a Challenger in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Container Management represents a significant achievement following their strategic expansion into the Kubernetes ecosystem. The recognition comes after the company launched Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) through the integration of D2iQ's technology, demonstrating relatively quick go-to-market execution for an enterprise container solution.
This positioning has substantial strategic importance as it completes Nutanix's hybrid multicloud story by enabling customers to run both traditional virtualized workloads and modern containerized applications on a single platform. The ability to support diverse environments—from on-premises data centers to edge deployments and public clouds—addresses the hybrid infrastructure reality most enterprises face today.
The inclusion of customer examples adds credibility to Nutanix's container management capabilities. The reference to a financial services firm and Karnataka Bank running critical applications, including customer-facing services and digital currency applications, on NKP demonstrates real-world enterprise adoption in regulated industries where reliability and security are paramount.
Nutanix's introduction of Cloud Native AOS further extends their container strategy by bringing their enterprise storage capabilities to hyperscaler Kubernetes environments without requiring a hypervisor—a technically significant development that reduces complexity layers while maintaining advanced data services.
In the competitive container management landscape dominated by cloud hyperscalers and specialized vendors, Nutanix's Challenger position (rather than Leader) accurately reflects their newer entrant status while acknowledging their execution capabilities and strategic vision. This recognition strengthens Nutanix's position as a comprehensive infrastructure provider rather than just a hyperconverged infrastructure company.
Company recognized for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision
SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: ), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, today announced it has been recognized as a Challenger in the . This marks Nutanix’s recognition for the first time in this Magic Quadrant following the launch of its (NKP) solution last year.
Nutanix launched NKP following the integration of D2iQ, Inc.’s Kubernetes Platform, enabling Nutanix to quickly deliver a production-ready enterprise solution for managing cloud native applications across diverse environments. This gives Nutanix customers the ability to run modern and traditional applications on the same platform anywhere, including in their datacenter, at the edge, or in public clouds on either virtualized underlays, bare metal, or native public cloud Kubernetes® environments.
“We’re delighted to be recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management, which we believe is testament to our relentless focus on product innovation and customer success,� said Lee Caswell, SVP Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix. “Our open and complete NKP solution complements our existing portfolio both architecturally and in go-to-market execution, giving customers a seamless path to modernize their applications while simplifying operations across hybrid multicloud environments.�
Nutanix customers worldwide, including a leading North American financial services firm which discussed their use case in this , are using NKP to innovate faster with an open, CNCF-compliant cloud native stack that gives platform engineering teams a consistent operating model for securely managing Kubernetes clusters. NKP avoids operational complexity, simplifying monitoring, and managing containers.
Another customer using NKP is Karnataka Bank in India, which is running its critical business applications, including cloud native customer-facing ones, on the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) solution, which supports Kubernetes. The applications running on NCP enable the bank to provide services such as mobile and Internet banking, fraud and risk management, loan management, and much more.
The bank is also running a cloud native digital currency application required by the Reserve Bank of India on NCP.
“Our customers are digitally savvy, so this requires us to quickly roll-out and provide cloud native applications that are easy to use, can be easily updated, and are always available,� said Venkat Krishnan, CIO, Karnataka Bank. “Nutanix’s platform, ability to support Kubernetes, and professional services enable us to deploy the applications required by the marketplace we serve and regulators.�
Nutanix continued to innovate in the container space with the introduction of its Cloud Native AOS solution earlier this year—extending Nutanix’s enterprise storage and advanced data services to hyperscaler Kubernetes services and bare metal cloud native environments, all without requiring a hypervisor. The Cloud Native AOS solution is now available globally.
