FAQs
Who qualifies as a Managed Services Provider (MSP)?
A Nutanix partner qualifies as a Managed Service Provider if it retains Nutanix software/cloud service licenses and delivers paid IT (or related business) services based on the Nutanix software portfolio.
A partner may have multiple ways to deliver Nutanix services (MSP, reseller, IT outsourcing, Telcos providing cloud services) only in the cases where partners retain licenses.
Other models are covered by their respective programs under Nutanix Elevate Partner Program.
Who does not qualify as a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?
A partner who provides pure professional services for the end customer’s environment without taking ownership of the software infrastructure will not qualify.
Technology partners building and delivering a SaaS aren’t always considered an MSP unless they themselves are using the Nutanix stack to deliver services to their end customers.
If I’m a Nutanix Elevate Partner today, do I qualify as an Nutanix Managed Service Provider (MSP)?
No. If you as a partner wish to become a Nutanix MSP, then simply apply to become an Nutanix Approved Service Provider here.
Is the Managed Service Provider (MSP) Program a consumption-based model?
Yes. The consumption-based model available under the MSP program is only available to enrolled partners.
Does the Managed Service Provider (MSP) Program have a minimum commit?
Yes. The minimum commitment is 12 months or 36 months, and the partner can select a payment schedule of monthly, quarterly or annual.
Once the minimum level of commitment is selected with the service provider, this will be the minimum monthly charge.
What if I consume more than the minimum commit?
This is called overages. When you consume more than the monthly commit, then this is considered overage and will be reconciled 30 days on arrears.
What happens at the end of my minimum commitment term?
There is no auto-renew at the end of your minimum commitment term (fixed term), and as such a new agreement is needed to renew for another term.
