Nutanix recognized as Challenger in 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management.

Nutanix, a hybrid multicloud computing leader, has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management. This follows the launch of its Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution last year, which enables customers to manage cloud-native applications across diverse environments, including datacenter, edge, and public clouds. NKP delivers a production-ready enterprise solution for managing cloud-native applications on the same platform.

Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management. This distinction follows the launch of its Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution last year, which enables customers to manage cloud-native applications across diverse environments, including data centers, edge computing, and public clouds [1].

NKP delivers a production-ready enterprise solution for managing cloud-native applications on the same platform. The platform supports both modern and traditional applications, providing a seamless path to modernization while simplifying operations across hybrid multicloud environments [1].

The recognition comes after Nutanix integrated D2iQ’s Kubernetes Platform to quickly deliver a production-ready enterprise solution. This integration allows Nutanix customers to run modern and traditional applications on the same platform, regardless of the environment [1].

Notable implementations of NKP include a leading North American financial services firm and Karnataka Bank in India, which uses NKP for critical applications such as mobile banking, digital currency solutions, and fraud and risk management [1]. These examples demonstrate real-world enterprise adoption in regulated industries where reliability and security are paramount.

Nutanix continued to innovate in the container space with the introduction of its Cloud Native AOS solution earlier this year. This solution extends Nutanix’s enterprise storage and advanced data services to hyperscaler Kubernetes services and bare metal cloud-native environments without requiring a hypervisor [1].

The Challenger position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant reflects Nutanix’s newer entrant status in the container management landscape. However, it also acknowledges the company’s execution capabilities and strategic vision, positioning Nutanix as a comprehensive infrastructure provider rather than just a hyperconverged infrastructure company [2].
