FEATURED SESSION: ANALYST A Leadership Forum

Navigating the New Normal: Sovereignty, Shifts, and Service Provider Resilience

Presenters: Alastair Edwards (Omdia) & Pim Bultman (Nutanix EMEA)

The European managed services landscape is at a crossroads. As geopolitical tensions reshape data residency requirements and market consolidation triggers a radical shift in the hypervisor ecosystem, MSPs are searching for stability. Join Omdia Chief Analyst, Alastair Edwards, and Nutanix EMEA Leader for Service Provider Business, Pim Bultman, for an unscripted exploration of the forces redefining our industry.

We will dive deep into the “Broadcom effect” on VMware partners, the rising demand for sovereign cloud in the wake of regional instability, and how providers can turn these market disruptions into a competitive edge. This session isn’t about technology –it’s about strategy, survival, and the freedom to build a future that isn’t tied to a single vendor’s roadmap.

The Power of Choice: Driving Profitable Growth in a Hybrid Multicloud World

Presenter: Pim Bultman (Nutanix EMEA)

For service providers, complexity is the enemy of margin. With 750 million new applications expected by 2026, the challenge isn’t just hosting apps—it’s managing the explosion of data across diverse environments without inflating costs. Nutanix offers more than just a platform change; we offer a business transformation.

In this session, we outline how the Nutanix Cloud Platform empowers MSPs to deliver “As-a-Service” solutions with unprecedented simplicity. We will discuss how to eliminate “cloud lock-in,” optimize total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 42%, and leverage a flexible consumption model that aligns your licensing costs with your cash flow. Discover how Nutanix helps you say “yes” to any customer requirement—any app, any cloud, any technology stack—all while maximizing your profitability from day one.
