Solutions Review is Getting Set to Host Nutanix and Northeastern University for the Exclusive Session ‘Cloud-Native for the AI-Powered, Innovation-Ready Enterprise Masterclass’ on February 19

Join us for the Nutanix Cloud Native Masterclass, an exclusive event for C-level executives, where attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion from Northeastern University, recognizing their expertise in cloud native strategies. In this Masterclass we’ll explore how cloud native architecture is reshaping enterprise IT. Unlike traditional monolithic applications — which are slow to evolve, difficult to scale, and operationally complex — cloud native applications are composed of independent, loosely coupled components. Built on microservices, containers, Kubernetes, and API-driven design, they are optimized for dynamic, distributed environments.
