Escape the limitations of legacy, single-vendor infrastructure. The alliance of HPE, Juniper, and Nutanix offers a more flexible and intelligent path forward, but is it truly seamless? In this fast-paced session, discover how to leverage a truly software-defined platform on industry-standard compute, all managed by an AI-driven network. Learn how this powerful trio simplifies operations and accelerates your innovation
The Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall offers comprehensive and deep security by seamlessly integrating with both third-party and Cisco security tools, whether physical, virtual, or cloud-based, while uniquely enabling native enforcement points with technologies like Isovalent runtime protection, Smart Switches, and ACI. This architecture allows for single-policy creation and consistent enforcement across the entire mesh, ensuring uniform protection for data and applications. Unlike traditional data centers that rely on multiple, fragmented security solutions—leading to errors, inconsistent enforcement, and difficulties implementing zero-trust—the Cisco solution simplifies complexity with a Smart Switch acting as the Top of Rack (ToR), integrated with Hypershield for pervasive, agentless, hyperdistributed segmentation. This delivers stateful segmentation, dynamic firewall updates, policy testing, and workload support at high speeds, reducing both operational complexity and total cost of ownership.

Nutanix provides a single platform for compute, storage and networking. Parallels RAS delivers apps and desktops on top of it. This session explores how tightly these two now work together, and why that integration keeps getting deeper.
We'll start with the new capabilities introduced earlier this year with the Prism Central provider. Previously, the AHV provider required one connection per cluster; now, a single Prism Central connection can manage every cluster you run, complete with native Nutanix template replication, placement policies and auto scale.
We'll walk through the architecture and show just how quickly it can be configured.
Next, we'll look ahead to RAS 22.0, GA on 12 November, which brings a new Files experience in the User Portal, host-level session recording for audit-sensitive environments, and AVD Hybrid, linking on-premises host pools on Nutanix to the Azure Virtual Desktop control plane via Azure Arc.
Throughout, the theme is freedom of choice: run your workloads where they make the most sense, on a concurrent-user licensing model that scales predictably, built on integration work Parallels and Nutanix have done together.
As organisations reassess virtualisation, they are seeking greater flexibility, predictable performance and simpler operations without compromising critical workloads.
This session explores how a modern, integrated infrastructure approach can reduce complexity, improve resilience and support changing business needs.
The rapid adoption of AI is transforming how employees access applications, data, and digital resources, making End-User Computing (EUC) a critical component of enterprise security. As organizations embrace hybrid work models and AI-powered applications, traditional security frameworks are increasingly exposed to evolving cyber threats.
In this session, we will explore how key principles such as Zero Trust, Digital Workspace, Identity & Access Management (IAM), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Secure Application Delivery can help enterprises build a resilient and secure EUC strategy. We will also demonstrate how Accops enables organizations to secure user access, protect critical data, and maintain centralized control across hybrid and distributed environments, all while delivering a seamless user experience.
A secure-by-design EUC approach empowers enterprises to modernize their digital workspace, strengthen their security posture, simplify IT operations, and support business growth in the AI era. Attendees will gain practical insights into creating a future-ready workspace that balances security, productivity, and user experience.
As workloads evolve, organisations need infrastructure that is secure, agile, efficient and ready to scale. Dell Technologies and Intel explore how modern silicon, AI-optimised performance, flexible architectures and intelligent operations can help organisations support emerging workloads, simplify transitions, improve utilisation and manage energy and operating costs—while building a resilient foundation for what comes next.
