Bare metal cloud servers now cheaper and more readily available than on-prem hardware, says Nutanix CEO

Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami stated that bare metal cloud servers are now cheaper and more readily available than on-premises hardware, signaling a major shift in enterprise IT economics. The executive attributed the change to supply chain disruptions and rising AI-driven demand that have made traditional hardware procurement more expensive and slower. This development could accelerate enterprise migration to cloud-based infrastructure as organizations seek to avoid hardware delays and cost overruns.
