This month, we’re receiving the Nutanix Service Provider of the Year award for the Americas for the second consecutive year. While industry recognition feels good, what matters more is what this back-to-back honor actually represents: proof that our approach to hybrid cloud infrastructure is solving real problems for real organizations.
The recognition isn’t arbitrary. Nutanix chose us because our clients consistently achieve measurable outcomes with Nutanix solutions deployed through our platform. When a technology vendor singles out a service provider two years running, they’re essentially saying “these folks know how to make our product work in ways that drive actual business value.”
Why This Partnership Runs Deeper Than Most
Our relationship with Nutanix extends well beyond typical vendor-partner dynamics. When Nutanix and Everpure formed their historic partnership to integrate third-party storage with Nutanix infrastructure, they needed a service provider who could bridge the gap between theoretical capability and practical implementation. They asked us to serve as their design partner.
Our Nutanix Private Cloud service has achieved Nutanix Verified status, meaning it meets the most rigorous technical and operational standards Nutanix requires. We were also named the first and only service provider to achieve “Premier” level status in their partner program. This isn’t just another tier in a crowded partner ecosystem—it’s the top category and we occupy it alone, reflecting the depth of our technical expertise and the consistency of our client outcomes.
All this means when you deploy Nutanix through Expedient, you’re not getting a generic implementation. You’re getting infrastructure that’s been tested, refined, and optimized based on real-world scenarios we helped architect. The difference shows up in deployment speed, operational stability, and long-term scalability.
The Complete Nutanix Experience, Delivered as a Service
Here’s where our recognition translates into practical advantage. Most service providers can deploy Nutanix infrastructure. We deliver the complete Nutanix ecosystem as fully managed services: Nutanix as a Service, Nutanix DRaaS, Nutanix Unified Storage, Nutanix Kubernetes, VDI, and Nutanix AI capabilities.
This comprehensive approach means you can adopt Nutanix gradually, scaling specific capabilities as your needs evolve rather than making massive infrastructure bets upfront. Your team focuses on strategic initiatives while we handle the operational complexity.
What Recognition Actually Predicts
Awards don’t guarantee future performance, but they do indicate momentum. This back-to-back recognition strengthens our partnership with Nutanix, resulting in earlier access to new capabilities, deeper technical collaboration, and more aggressive support for our joint clients.
You’ll see this play out practically in faster time-to-market for new Nutanix features, more responsive support when you need it, and solutions that are tested and proven rather than experimental.
The Real Validation
The most meaningful recognition doesn’t come from vendors. It comes from clients who see infrastructure costs drop, deployment timelines shrink, and operational complexity disappear. The Nutanix award reflects those outcomes, but the outcomes matter more than the award.
If you’re evaluating Nutanix or reconsidering your virtualization strategy post-VMware acquisition, this recognition suggests we know how to make these transitions work. But more importantly, our clients consistently report that their infrastructure finally supports their business objectives rather than constraining them.
That’s the kind of validation that matters.
