FEATURED SESSION: ANALYST A Leadership Forum

Navigating the New Normal: Sovereignty, Shifts, and Service Provider Resilience

Presenters: Alastair Edwards (Omdia), Pim Bultman (Nutanix EMEA) and Sven Schoenaerts (Nutanix EMEA)

The European managed services landscape is at a crossroads. As geopolitical tensions reshape data residency requirements and market consolidation triggers a radical shift in the hypervisor ecosystem, MSPs are searching for stability. Join Omdia Chief Analyst, Alastair Edwards, Nutanix EMEA Leader for Service Provider Business, Pim Bultman and Nutanix EMEA Head of EMEA Channels, Sven Schoenaerts, for an unscripted exploration of the forces redefining our industry.

We will dive deep into the “Broadcom effect” on VMware partners, the rising demand for sovereign cloud in the wake of regional instability, and how providers can turn these market disruptions into a competitive edge. This session isn’t about technology –it’s about strategy, survival, and the freedom to build a future that isn’t tied to a single vendor’s roadmap.

The Power of Choice: Driving Profitable Growth in a Hybrid Multicloud World

Presenter: Jim Keeley (Nutanix EMEA)

For service providers, complexity is the enemy of margin. With 750 million new applications expected by 2026, the challenge isn’t just hosting apps—it’s managing the explosion of data across diverse environments without inflating costs. Nutanix offers more than just a platform change; we offer a business transformation.

In this session, we outline how the Nutanix Cloud Platform empowers MSPs to deliver “As-a-Service” solutions with unprecedented simplicity. We will discuss how to eliminate “cloud lock-in,” optimize total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 42%, and leverage a flexible consumption model that aligns your licensing costs with your cash flow. Discover how Nutanix helps you say “yes” to any customer requirement—any app, any cloud, any technology stack—all while maximizing your profitability from day one.

Engineering Simplicity: Architectural Excellence from the Core to the Edge

Presenter: Dave Hocking (Nutanix EMEA)

How does Nutanix empower Service Providers to build a scalable, multi-tenant architecture that is both invisible and invincible? Dave Hocking breaks down the Nutanix technical advantage. We will explore why this matters for Service Providers, look at the core pillars of our unified platform and how they integrate to create a seamless multicloud fabric.

This session also provides a short demo of the new capabilities unveiled at .NEXT Chicago – Service Provider Central. We show how simply the next generation service offerings from European service providers can be built. See the technology that turns multicloud complexity into operational excellence.
