Lenovo, Nutanix expand partnership to build AI-ready infrastructure in India

Lenovo and Nutanix on Tuesday announced an expanded partnership in India, aimed at delivering AI-ready, cloud-native infrastructure tailored to the country’s growing digital economy. The move underscores India’s role as a strategic hub for high-tech manufacturing.

At Nutanix’s annual .NEXT on Tour event in Mumbai, the two companies showcased how they are collaborating to support enterprises across sectors in deploying AI workloads, running cloud-native applications, and modernising IT infrastructure.

As part of its global-local “Make in India for India and the world” strategy, Lenovo has started manufacturing servers at its Pondicherry facility. These systems, equipped with Neptune Liquid Cooling technology, are optimised for AI-driven, high-performance computing and come pre-integrated with Nutanix software. According to a Lenovo statement, the solution can cut power consumption by up to 25%, addressing both performance and sustainability goals.

The partnership also brings the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) on Lenovo’s Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HX) to Indian enterprises. This integration will enable organisations to better manage containerised workloads with persistent storage and data protection, offering a pathway for sectors such as BFSI to strengthen business continuity and disaster recovery strategies.

Joint solutions like Lenovo’s ThinkAgile HX Series, powered by Nutanix Enterprise AI and GPT-in-a-Box, were also highlighted. These offerings are designed to help enterprises scale AI inference, fine-tuning, and training workloads seamlessly — across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments.

“India is fast emerging as a powerhouse in the global AI revolution, and Lenovo is proud to be at the forefront of this transformation with Nutanix,” said Amit Luthra, Managing Director, India, Lenovo ISG. “With GPT-in-a-Box and Neptune-enabled servers built locally, Indian enterprises can now set up AI factories that combine performance, efficiency and scalability.”

Faiz Shakir, VP & MD, India and ASEAN at Nutanix, added, “Together we’re offering infrastructure that enables organisations to implement AI and digital strategies while streamlining cloud-native development. This provides the consistency and compliance enterprises need, while keeping pace with developers’ demand for continuous innovation.”

The collaboration builds on a long-standing alliance between the two firms dating back to 2016. Lenovo recently received Nutanix’s APJ OEM Award of the Year for FY25, reinforcing its position as a key partner in driving AI-ready cloud infrastructure in the region.

India’s enterprise technology market is in a phase of rapid AI and cloud investment. Industry reports show rising enterprise interest in adopting AI at scale, with many companies moving from pilot projects to production use cases across financial services, telecom, retail and manufacturing. Vendors and systems integrators are responding with integrated stacks and pre-validated appliances that reduce integration risk and accelerate time-to-value — particularly for regulated sectors that prefer on-prem or hybrid deployments.

For CIOs and infrastructure leads, the key metrics will be how quickly validated appliances can be deployed, the total cost of ownership (including power and cooling savings) and the ease of managing hybrid workloads, the companies said.
