Simplify VDI with Nutanix and Omnissa

Every year, technology conferences have a theme.

From 2018 to 2020, it was “Digital Transformation”. Between 2020 and 2022, it was “Hybrid Work”. This year, it continues to be AI.

In fact, we've reached the point where AI is showing up so often in technology conversations that I've started calling the collective industry response “AI-nxiety”. You know the symptoms: AI strategies. AI roadmaps. AI copilots. AI assistants. AI agents. AI agents managing AI agents. Oh my!

While AI is undoubtedly shaping the future of work, many organizations are facing a more immediate challenge: “How do we modernize the digital workspace without adding more operational complexity?”

That's why we at Nutanix are excited to return as a Global Diamond Sponsor at Omnissa ONE 2026 and share how Omnissa and Nutanix are helping organizations simplify operations, improve resilience, and deliver exceptional digital workspace experiences.

The digital workspace is being asked to do more than ever

Today's IT teams are navigating a difficult balancing act. Employees expect fast, reliable access to applications from anywhere. Security teams require stronger controls and better visibility. Business leaders want greater efficiency and reduced costs. Meanwhile, AI workloads are beginning to compete for many of the same infrastructure resources that have traditionally supported virtual desktops and applications.

At the same time, nobody is asking for more management consoles, manual processes, or complexity.

Together, Omnissa Horizon and Nutanix help organizations:

• Simplify operations  
• Improve resilience  
• Deliver secure, high-performance user experiences 
• Maximize existing investments 

In other words, we reduce time managing VDI and increase time delivering value.

The next frontier: VDI for AI

One of the conversations we're especially excited to have at Omnissa ONE this year is about how virtual desktop infrastructure can serve as a launchpad for enterprise AI.

Many organizations assume AI initiatives require entirely new infrastructure investments. But for organizations already running Omnissa Horizon on Nutanix infrastructure with NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPU), the foundation for AI experimentation may be in place.

Historically, GPU investments have supported designers, engineers, power users, and graphics-intensive applications. Today, the same GPU resources can also help support  AI development use cases. Rather than building separate infrastructure silos, organizations are increasingly looking at how existing investments can support both digital workspaces and emerging AI initiatives.
