Founded in 2009 by Dheeraj Pandey (ex-Oracle, Aster Data), Mohit Aron, and Ajeet Singh, Nutanix pioneered hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) that collapses compute, storage, and virtualization onto commodity servers. The San Jose company shipped its AHV hypervisor to break VMware dependency, went public on NASDAQ in September 2016, and pivoted to a subscription model under CEO Rajiv Ramaswami (joined 2020). Broadcom's 2024 VMware acquisition triggered a customer exodus that Nutanix has aggressively absorbed, closing FY2025 with $2.22B ARR up 17%, $2.54B revenue up 18%, and over 2,700 new logos including 50+ Global 2000 wins.

A protective put caps your downside on the NTNX position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current NTNX option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share NTNX position at $48.32 is worth $241,600. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $4,832 to $9,664) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off NTNX's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Nutanix equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge NTNX stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and NTNX's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current NTNX option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Nutanix grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Nutanix typically takes the form of non-qualified stock options (NSOs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Nutanix RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Nutanix restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
