Nutanix .NEXT 2026: Turning cloud complexity into clarity with AI-powered observability

Editor’s note

The explosion of applications, data, and cloud-native workloads has created an IT landscape that’s harder than ever to manage. Organizations face overwhelming complexity, fragmented visibility, and mounting pressure to innovate while maintaining uptime and controlling costs.

Nutanix .NEXT 2026 addresses these challenges head-on. Taking place April 7-9 in Chicago, this three-day event brings together IT leaders, innovators, and practitioners who are solving the same problems you face: managing hybrid multicloud environments, optimizing AI workloads, and maintaining observability at scale.

The future demands infrastructure that can run anything, anywhere, paired with intelligent observability that transforms complexity into clarity. By combining Nutanix’s unified hybrid multicloud platform with Dynatrace AI-powered observability, organizations gain the foundation needed to innovate faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver exceptional digital experiences at scale.

This guide highlights the key themes of Nutanix .NEXT 2026, which Dynatrace is proud to sponsor, and explores how we partner to help organizations build, modernize, and secure their environments with confidence.

Deploy AI responsibly and at speed with unified insight and optimized performance

AI is transforming how organizations operate, but building trust in these systems remains a work in progress. According to the recent Dynatrace Pulse of Agentic AI report, trust and lack of observability are top technical barriers to production. This highlights the critical need for unified observability that provides visibility into AI workloads from infrastructure to user interactions.

Nutanix provides specialized infrastructure optimized for AI workloads, including large language models (LLMs), with performance optimization, cost management, and scalability. Dynatrace adds comprehensive AI and LLM observability, enabling teams to monitor, debug, optimize, and audit agentic workflows. Together, Dynatrace and Nutanix help organizations operationalize AI faster while maintaining control and transparency.

Get unified hybrid cloud visibility through a single platform for apps, data, and observability

Organizations face growing blind spots as applications and data spread across physical, on-premises, and cloud environments. Fragmented monitoring tools create disconnected views of the hybrid landscape, making it difficult to understand system health, anticipate issues, or optimize resources.

Nutanix provides one platform to run all applications and data anywhere—from on-premises to public cloud and edge locations—establishing a consistent operational foundation. Dynatrace adds a unified observability platform that delivers real-time, AI-powered insights across the entire hybrid stack, eliminating tool sprawl and stitching together context across infrastructure, applications, and user experience.

Together, Nutanix and Dynatrace give teams the visibility and intelligence needed to:

• Strengthen cloud and application resilience with continuous, full-stack insights that detect anomalies early and maintain performance across hybrid environments.
• Enable event-driven, preventive operations through Dynatrace Intelligence, which automatically correlates signals, identifies root causes, and triggers remediation workflows before issues affect users.
• Optimize architecture and resource utilization by connecting Nutanix infrastructure metrics with application and business performance data, helping teams right-size resources, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.

This unified approach breaks down silos, reduces operational complexity, and empowers organizations to move from reactive firefighting to proactive, intelligent cloud operations.
