We are witnessing an era where technology has rapidly shifted from a legacy enabler to being a game changer.

Speaking about Digitizing the government & public sector, Talal Alsaif | Public Sector & Telco Sales Manager - Nutanix Inc., said " Government agencies must maintain the delicate balance between budget restrictions and the growing demands for IT services. As a result, IT teams in the public sector are tasked with making difficult decisions to demonstrate financial responsibility, while delivering all of the services the public needs. To accomplish their goals, government agencies need powerful, cost-effective IT solutions, and the flexibility to easily and effectively scale their environments. Nutanix provides predictable economics and scalability benefits of web-scale IT to help deliver better services with the current budget. We have helped hundreds of government departments and agencies make the transition to an efficient and virtualized datacenter built on web-scale hyper converged infrastructure. We are happy to have had the opportunity to share this expertise with Saudi Arabian government agencies and we look forward to continuing these discussions and deepening our engagement with them in the future.''
Nutanix provided another powerful agenda highlighting successful business cases, real ROI calculations, and main aim of a CIO and freeing resources to focus on higher-order business challenges and perform knowledge.
