India, Nov. 21 -- Organisations continue to balance hybrid work demands with tighter controls on performance and security. At Microsoft Ignite 2025, Nutanix introduced a move that fits neatly into this shift. Its Nutanix Cloud Platform will now support Azure Virtual Desktop in hybrid setups, allowing enterprises to run virtual desktops on-premises through the Nutanix AHV hypervisor while still using Azure for management.

The announcement gives IT teams something they have pushed for: deployment freedom. Instead of maintaining virtual desktops solely on the Cloud, enterprises can keep key workloads within their own datacentres. At the same time, they can connect to Azure for brokering, orchestration and scaling.

This flexibility matters ...
