NexusTek Launches Nutanix‑Powered Private Cloud to Capture VMware Customers Amid Broadcom Licensing Changes

NTNX
February 20, 2026

NexusTek unveiled a new private‑cloud offering on February 19, 2026 that runs on Nutanix’s hyper‑converged infrastructure. The solution is positioned as a cost‑predictable alternative for enterprises that are re‑evaluating VMware virtualization after Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware and the subsequent shift to subscription‑based licensing and bundled product packages.

Broadcom’s changes have pushed VMware renewal costs up by 4–5×, reduced support options, and forced customers to purchase mandatory bundles. The resulting price volatility and uncertainty have accelerated a migration wave toward alternative hyper‑converged platforms. NexusTek’s new offering directly addresses these pain points by delivering a predictable pricing model, simplified operations, and the ability to run existing workloads on Nutanix’s software‑centric stack without a full hardware overhaul.

By leveraging Nutanix’s hyper‑converged infrastructure, NexusTek can offer customers a reliable, modern architecture that eliminates the need for perpetual licenses and the associated support headaches. The partnership also gives NexusTek first‑hand migration experience, allowing it to guide clients through the transition while preserving their existing hardware investments. This combination of cost control, operational simplicity, and proven migration expertise positions the solution as a compelling alternative for organizations looking to escape VMware’s new cost structure.

The launch expands Nutanix’s addressable market beyond greenfield deployments to include enterprises already invested in VMware infrastructure. It reinforces Nutanix’s strategy of positioning its platform as a comprehensive, software‑centric solution that can replace legacy VMware stacks while preserving existing hardware. The move also signals continued momentum for Nutanix in the hybrid multicloud space, potentially boosting future subscription revenue and strengthening the company’s competitive moat.

"The market is signaling a clear shift: organizations need stability, transparency, and choice in their virtualization strategy," said Hamilton Yu, CEO of NexusTek. "Broadcom's changes have accelerated this moment, and the newly Nutanix‑powered NexusTek Private Cloud gives customers a strategic path forward, one built on predictable economics, modern architecture, and a partner who is successfully navigating the transition themselves."
