Alliance Targets Scalable, Sovereign, and Cost-Efficient Cloud Adoption Across Enterprises and Regulated Sectors
NTT DATA and Nutanix have announced a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating hybrid multicloud adoption and AI-driven infrastructure transformation across the Middle East and Africa (MEA). The collaboration brings together NTT DATA’s global systems integration expertise with Nutanix’s software-defined hybrid cloud platform to help enterprises modernize their IT environments while addressing growing demands around security, scalability, and cost efficiency.
As organizations across the region continue to invest in digital transformation, hybrid cloud, AI, and data sovereignty have emerged as interconnected priorities. Enterprises especially in regulated industries are increasingly seeking infrastructure that enables innovation while maintaining control over data, compliance, and operational costs.
The partnership is designed to address these needs by delivering secure, flexible, and AI-ready infrastructure environments. By combining their strengths, NTT DATA and Nutanix aim to simplify complex IT landscapes and provide enterprises with a consistent platform for deploying applications and managing workloads across public and private clouds.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to helping organizations modernize through secure, scalable, and simplified infrastructure that addresses real business challenges.”
— Hani Nofal, Executive, Head of Technology Solutions, Middle East and Africa, NTT DATA
A key focus of the collaboration is enabling AI adoption. Organizations in the region are exploring AI-driven capabilities but often face challenges related to data security, governance, and cost management. The joint solution allows businesses to test and deploy AI workloads in secure, private environments, offering greater control and compliance while maintaining performance and scalability.
The alliance also supports NTT DATA’s broader growth strategy in MEA, enhancing its full-stack service portfolio and strengthening its position in the enterprise market. By leveraging Nutanix’s unified cloud platform, the company can deliver more comprehensive digital transformation solutions tailored to regional requirements.
Executives from both companies emphasized the importance of simplifying infrastructure to accelerate innovation. The partnership aims to reduce operational complexity, lower costs, and improve time-to-value for organizations looking to modernize.
Ultimately, the collaboration reflects a growing shift in enterprise technology strategies across MEA. As businesses move beyond isolated cloud and AI initiatives toward integrated digital ecosystems, partnerships that combine infrastructure, software, and services expertise will play a critical role in enabling sustainable transformation and long-term growth.
