Nutanix said it acquired Ryax Technologies, an AI-driven compute orchestration and management company based in France. The company said the deal relates to integrating Ryax’s capabilities into Nutanix’s Kubernetes Platform and Nutanix Enterprise AI to support AI workloads.
Nutanix tied the acquisition to demand for inference workloads as agentic AI expands. It also cited GPU shortages and fragmented infrastructure that it said lead organizations to split compute across private data centers, hyperscalers, and neoclouds, and it linked these conditions to the need for a unified hybrid cloud operating model.
The Ryax platform, according to the release, provides smart scheduling and performance optimization. Nutanix said it plans to target two architectural capabilities through the integration: Intelligent Resource Optimization, designed to make use of available computing resources such as GPUs and CPUs, and AI-Aware Smart Scheduling, designed to automatically place AI workloads on cost-effective hardware.
Nutanix said it planned to integrate the Ryax platform into future releases of Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) and Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI), and that the Ryax team would join Nutanix in France. “The Ryax platform was built to give enterprises seamless execution across hybrid infrastructure like private data centers, hyperscalers and neoclouds, handling the backend complexity so teams can deploy, scale and manage AI workflows from day one,” said Andry Razafinjatovo, CEO, Ryax Technologies. “Our acquisition of Ryax helps to directly answer the challenges enterprises face today with agentic AI infrastructure management. The acquisition marks an exciting milestone in our commitment to simplifying enterprise AI at scale. We are thrilled to welcome the talented Ryax team to Nutanix as we continue to deliver on our promise to help customers safely run AI, applications and data anywhere.” said Rajiv Ramaswami, CEO of Nutanix. The release also said the financial impact of the acquisition is not material to Nutanix and that it described forward-looking statements about planned integrations.
