There are a few moments when you are growing your business when you think, this was a good day. There are even a few of those days where you can honestly say, this was a great day. Yesterday at Nutanix .NEXT, the annual user conference for Nutanix customers and partners, where more than 4,500 people gathered at the Gaylord Convention Center just outside of Washington, DC, it was a great day.

HYCU was honored to receive two awards at the Nutanix Elevate Partners inaugural awards ceremony.

This follows from our recent elevation to Nutanix Strategic Technology Partner status – one of only six companies along with Citrix, Intel, Microsoft and SAP. The two awards, AHV Innovator and Social Media Champion highlighted the work our team has been putting in to develop a unique solution for Nutanix customers and partners alike, as well as, recognition for why we love to talk about Nutanix and Nutanix technology on social media channels.

All of us in attendance were thrilled to receive these awards. While they both were recognition for all the hard work the team has been doing these past few years to support Nutanix on its journey to the enterprise cloud, they were also in large part validation for the technology development decision we made as a company to bring to market the first and only purpose-built data protection solution for Nutanix customers. That solution, HYCU, has received more interest and attention than we could have ever imagined. The excitement at the conference and at our booth is testament to that.

So while we are extremely grateful to have received these awards, I can tell you this is just the opening chapter in providing world class solutions for Nutanix customers and partners alike. Nutanix is a phenomenal company and it's not hard to see why they have been as successful as they have.

If you’re at .NEXT, make sure to swing by and say hi. You can find us at Booth S15. You can’t miss us!
