Nutanix announced today that it successfully hosted its Middle East Partner Summit and Awards 2021 on the 24th of February with the theme ‘Blaze New Trails’. The virtual event saw an attendance of over 250 channel partner executives across the region.
“At Nutanix, our success lies in the growth and achievements of our partner ecosystem. We want our partners to unlock their potential, taking leverage of our technology, training and tools to expand their reach. In doing so, we seek to help them ‘blaze their own trails’ for greater mutual success,” said Aaron White, Sr. Sales Director, METI at Nutanix.
Executives from Nutanix took attendees through the transformation that the company is undergoing and provided exciting updates, like news from the new CEO, highlights of year-end results, and a recap of Nutanix’s Elevate Partner Program. Partners were also educated about the ‘Test Drive’ initiative that enables customers to put Nutanix’s software to the test in a new and improved demo, that simulates building a private cloud to create a frictionless IT environment. To bring fun into the mix, a Kahoot Quiz was organized where winners took home exciting prizes.
