From AI sprawl to AI governance: simplifying enterprise AI with Nutanix Agent Gateway. June 26, 2026 by Agisko bv., Timothy De Wolf AI adoption is accelerating across enterprises, but so are the operational challenges. Teams are experimenting with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, self-hosted models, and specialized AI services often all at once. The result can quickly become a patchwork of API keys, duplicated integrations, inconsistent governance, and unpredictable costs. What starts as a single API key in a development environment often grows into dozens of applications connecting to different providers. API keys become scattered across YAML files, environment variables, CI/CD pipelines, and vaults. At the same time, organizations struggle to answer simple questions: Who is using which model? How many tokens are Agisko consuming? Which application is driving the cost? As AI agents become more common, this challenge only grows. Agents can now interact with business applications and external tools through standards like Model Context Protocol (MCP), making centralized governance more important than ever. A unified approach to enterprise AI with Nutanix Agent Gateway. With Nutanix Enterprise AI 2.7, Nutanix introduces Agent Gateway, a centralized control layer that sits between AI applications, agents, MCP servers, and AI providers. Instead of connecting directly to individual providers, applications connect to a single Unified Endpoint using a standard OpenAI-compatible API. Behind the scenes, requests can be routed to public providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, or even self-hosted models running on your own infrastructure. The biggest advantage? Your application code remains unchanged. Whether you're using OpenAI today or a self-hosted model tomorrow, the integration stays exactly the same. Key benefits. Centralized credential management. One of the most common challenges in enterprise AI is credential sprawl. Provider API keys are often distributed across teams and applications, creating security and governance concerns. Agent Gateway addresses this by storing provider credentials centrally within Nutanix Enterprise AI. Applications never need access to the actual OpenAI or Anthropic API keys. Instead, developers use Nutanix Enterprise AI scoped API keys with RBAC controls, significantly reducing the risk of credential leakage. API keys leaked = data leaked = no more control over your cost spent => CFO, CTO, CIO and DPO's nightmare. Flexibility without rewriting applications. Business requirements change. Costs change. Compliance requirements change. With Agent Gateway, organizations can switch routing from one provider to another simply by updating the gateway configuration. Moving from OpenAI to Claude, introducing AWS Bedrock, or redirecting workloads to a local model no longer requires a code audit or application redesign. Cost control and resiliency. As AI usage grows, so does the need for governance. Agent Gateway provides centralized token-based rate limiting, allowing organizations to enforce consumption limits at multiple levels: * Global token limits across a Unified Endpoint * Granular limits per endpoint * Limits per application, team, or API key In addition, built-in load balancing, rate limiting, and automatic fallback capabilities help maintain service availability. If a provider becomes unavailable, requests can automatically be redirected to an alternative model, helping ensure uninterrupted AI services. Complete visibility into AI usage. Without observability, managing AI costs and adoption becomes nearly impossible. Agent Gateway logs every request, providing insights into token consumption, model usage, applications, and teams. This allows organizations to better understand where AI is delivering value while maintaining control over spending. What's new in Enterprise AI 2.7. Beyond Agent Gateway, Enterprise AI 2.7 introduces several new capabilities, including: * Support for Local MCP Servers (Tech Preview) * Integration with Palo Alto Prisma AIRS for AI security * Model scanning and endpoint red teaming * Batch inferencing capabilities Final thoughts. The future of Enterprise AI isn't about committing to a single model provider. It's about creating a secure and flexible platform that allows organizations to use the right model for the right use case while maintaining control over security, governance, costs, and compliance. Nutanix Agent Gateway delivers that control layer, enabling enterprises to abstract AI providers, secure credentials, govern token consumption, and support both public and private AI models through a single unified endpoint.

San José Mineta International Airport, Nutanix and Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose to create new sensory-friendly room. The Nest by Nutanix Sensory Room at SJC Will Help Reduce Air Travel Anxiety and Stress for Children Travelers with Autism and Other Sensory Sensitivities June 9, 2026 San Jose, Calif. - June 9, 2026 - San José Mineta International Airport (SJC), in partnership with Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX) and Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose, will launch a new sensory-friendly room, The Nest by Nutanix, designed to support families traveling with children with autism and other sensory sensitivities. The Nest by Nutanix sensory room aims to provide a calm, welcoming environment that helps reduce the stress and anxiety associated with air travel, while preparing children for the flight ahead. Airports can be intensely stimulating spaces for neurodivergent travelers, filled with unfamiliar sounds, visuals, crowds and routines. With one in six children in the region experiencing sensory processing difficulties, SJC recognized a growing need for dedicated, supportive spaces that make travel more accessible. Building on its commitment to inclusion and family-friendly travel, SJC partnered with Nutanix and Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose to bring this innovative project to life. Designed by Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose, assisted by Corgan Architecture Firm and brought to life by Swinerton Builders, the 800+ square foot sensory room will feature interactive experiences that offer calming textures, captivating visuals and soothing sounds to support sensory regulation and focus. Leveraging nearly 20 years of expertise in designing exhibits and programs for neurodivergent children and their families, Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose established an advisory committee of parents, educators and community members who have firsthand experience and knowledge of the challenges associated with air travel for those with sensory sensitivities. This group will help guide design decisions, prototype testing and community outreach to ensure the space truly meets families' needs. "The collaboration and vision of San José Mineta International Airport, Nutanix and the Children's Discovery Museum will help make travel a reality for families with neurodivergent children," said San José City Manager, Jennifer Maguire. "Bringing The Nest by Nutanix sensory room to SJC is a meaningful reflection of San José's values and community-centered ethos." "With close to 1 in 22 children in California having autism, travel presents a challenge for their families," said San José Mayor, Matt Mahan. "Travel should be accessible for all, and I'm proud of SJC for creating a safe, warm and welcoming space for families who need extra support." "SJC is keenly aware of the stress that travel presents for neurodivergent travelers and their families," said Mookie Patel, director of aviation at San José Mineta International Airport. "We were the first Northern California Airport to introduce the Sunflower Lanyard program for travelers with hidden disabilities. As part of our ongoing efforts to create an inclusive travel environment for all, SJC is proud to partner with our friends at the Children's Discovery Museum and Nutanix to build The Nest by Nutanix sensory room for children with autism and other sensory sensitivities." The project also builds on SJC's proven success in serving families. The airport's Zoom Zone, designed by Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose, helped SJC earn recognition as one of the most "family-friendly" airports in the United States. Airport leadership reports that requests for acclimation tours - especially from families impacted by overstimulation and unfamiliarity - are common inquiries they receive. The new sensory room directly responds to this growing demand. "Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose is deeply dedicated to supporting all children and creating environments where they can thrive," said Linda Tsai, President and CEO of Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. "The Nest by Nutanix sensory room reflects what is possible when community partners come together with empathy, expertise and a shared commitment to inclusion. We are proud to help create a space that supports neurodivergent children and their families, making travel more accessible, welcoming and less overwhelming so more families can experience the joy and connection that travel makes possible." Nutanix, a San Jose-based company that offers organizations one platform to run apps, data and AI anywhere, is the presenting sponsor for the sensory room providing a gift of $250,000. "For us, living our core values of being Hungry, Humble, Honest and with Heart means finding meaningful ways to do good through tech right here in the community we call home," said Jennifer Lepird, Chief People Officer at Nutanix. "It is both our privilege and our responsibility to give back to our neighbors. Supporting the new sensory room at the San José Mineta International Airport is a true reflection of our 'with Heart' value in action and will move the needle for a better, more inclusive world." For many families with neurodivergent children, air travel has simply not been an option. Through this partnership, SJC, Nutanix and Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose aim to change that and make travel more inclusive, accessible and welcoming for all. "Airport design is constantly evolving to meet the needs and ever-shifting demands of today's passengers. As a leading designer of airports across the globe, we've built many incredible spaces and it's refreshing to see how this partnership is considering those passengers who need a comforting space where they can enjoy the experience of travel," said Emiliano Ciarletti, Associate Principal, Corgan. "Bringing this sensory room to life is a truly meaningful project for our team," said Swinerton's Senior Project Manager Hannah Eyster-Young. "In partnership with Corgan, Swinerton is proud to collaborate with San José Mineta International Airport, Nutanix, and Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose to provide a space that prioritizes accessibility, comfort, and inclusion for all travelers." The Nest by Nutanix sensory room construction is underway and is expected to open in Winter 2026 and will be located between Terminal A and B, across from Gate 17.

Think Solutions guiding customers through change with Nutanix. 13 Apr 2026 7 mins Leans into being a trusted advisor for customers. Managed service provider (MSP) Think Solutions has built a long-term, strategically aligned partnership with Nutanix to enable solution-focused customer conversations to help them navigate artificial intelligence (AI), infrastructure, and cloud. The MSP said customers increasingly want to experiment with AI but are not sure how it can fit within their budgets. Being transparent and offering options with solutions helps Think Solutions with the increase in enquiries about the emerging technology. With the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) offering, the MSP has been able to provide customers with an opportunity to experiment with AI, said Think Solutions sales director Pedro Duarte. "For us at the moment, AI is a deep discussion across our customer bases," he explained to ARN during Nutanix's .Next summit. "Arnnet has got a lot of customers that have come to Arnnet and said, 'Arnnet know Arnnet need to do something, [but] Arnnet don't know exactly how internally - how can you help Arnnet?' "Looking at the new [Nutanix] announcements and the platform that can totally own AI is really a landing point." It allows customers to "play before they actually make the decision" to go off and do AI themselves, said Duarte. "AI is the new buzzword in the industry. Executives are saying, 'I don't care how you do it, figure out a way to get AI in the organisation,'" he noted. "They've got a fear of missing out." Think Solutions advises its customers not to panic, but to take stock, slow down, and make sure they make the right choice, Duarte said. "You can't make the wrong choice, because otherwise you're always playing catch up and you're not going to get budget twice," he said. "Arnnet is always looking at ways that Arnnet can evolve what Arnnet is doing and what Arnnet is providing to customers. "At least now, [with Nutanix] we can provide a landing point at which [customers] can do their proof of concept, get comfortable with it, and then eventually decide what they're going to do themselves." Leaving Broadcom. The MSP has been a long term Nutanix partner for about 13 years and is focused on small and medium enterprise in Australia, explained Duarte. "We started as a reseller," he said. "Arnnet saw that there was a need for Arnnet to provide a more managed, web-like experience for its customers. "We've moved into also being a service provider, building our own platform on Nutanix." For Think Solutions, conversations with customers have changed over the years, as it went previously with an infrastructure play. Duarte said the MSP is helping customers navigate a broad and complex market by simplifying choices amid the concurring geopolitical, supply chain, and licensing disruption issues from the VMware/Broadcom situation. "We're no longer a Broadcom partner," he said. "Arnnet were a Broadcom partner probably for as long as Arnnet were a Nutanix partner... and Arnnet were notified that [it was] terminating its partnership. "Arnnet were predominantly a reseller that had a significant amount of business. "For Arnnet personally, the announcement didn't come as a shock, but Arnnet were prepared for it through its Nutanix partnership. "Likewise, a lot of our customers were already on NCP, but the challenge now is assisting customers in navigating that." Every customer in Australia that Think Solutions is talking to is having a challenge with the Broadcom relationship. "It comes down to... whether they've got enough time to move off the Broadcom platform. If they haven't got enough time, how can we help soften the blow?" Duarte said. According to the sales director, the options that Nutanix introduces allows Think Solutions to have different discussions with clients and external storage providers. "From a partnering perspective, the partner programs obviously evolved a lot," he said. "Obviously, Arnnet saw Nutanix coming into the APAC [Asia Pacific] market for Arnnet. "The discussions that we were having then were all about education on the brand, who they were. "Now that's changed... I think they've got a strong market presence. The conversations that they're having with us and we're having with customers is what [Nutanix] can do for a customer." Duarte said Nutanix has done well in supporting the MSPs in its journey, which in turn allows Think Solutions to support its customers. "We have really close alignment with Nutanix from a technology and a marketing perspective," he explained. "As the technology evolves, the hardest thing for us as a partner is getting that messaging out so that customers are aware of what their options are." "The market in general is broad. The challenge for an MSP [has] always been, 'How do we take that broadness and make it really simple for a customer to consume?'" For Think Solutions, the current disruption provides the MSP with options to have a transparent conversation with customers. This gives the latter the chance to say, 'All right, we were looking at buying hardware,' 'Arnnet can't now,' or 'Arnnet has got a renewal coming up and Arnnet don't really know the timing,' explained Duarte. "We've got strategies that we address with that," he said. "The all-in engagement that you go through with the customer about procuring hardware and assisting with migration strategy. "If they now have time to do that, we get them to come to us. We can assist them in two ways. We usually have hardware that we can provide for swing migrations." It now sees future growth in Nutanix-based service provider offerings - particularly AI and containers as services - built on their existing multi-tenant and digital rights-as-a-service platform. Sound advice. "We've got options for the customer. I was talking to a customer the other day, and they've been hit with their renewal notice. They can't afford it," said Duarte. The customer felt they couldn't move forward but also didn't have the time to go out and buy hardware. With Nutanix, Duarte said Think Solutions can tell a customer they don't have to rip and replace what they have. "Here's an option for you to get off the platform that buys you time to make the right hardware choice, rather than trying to fast track things and maybe not make the right decision," he noted. "That's key, I feel." Providing this type of advice is key to the MSP's role as a trusted advisor. "We're not the type of MSP or service provider goes and acquires 100 customers a year," explained Duarte. "Arnnet grow organically and Arnnet really value those relationships Arnnet has with its clients. "That trusted advisor positioning with its customers is really important to Arnnet. It's understanding the business, understanding their requirements, aligning, and then making suggestions once Arnnet has that alignment, and not prior. "Sometimes that creates long sales cycles. It [can be] a two-year discussion about where they were and where we wanted them to be and helping them get there." Those long sales cycles can go towards long-term customers. For example, Think Solutions director Noel Brodie, who started the business in 1998, has an established relationship with one of the first customers he signed up, said Duarte. "That trusted advisor positioning with our customers is really important to us," he added. Lilia Guan travelled to Nutanix .Next 2026 conference as a guest of Nutanix.
