Nutanix has announced the general availability of Nutanix Agent Gateway as part of Nutanix Enterprise AI 2.7. The solution provides a centralised control point for managing autonomous AI agents, large language models, and enterprise applications. It addresses key challenges in security and spending by offering granular access control and unified token observability across hybrid and multicloud environments.
As organisations move from AI pilots to production-scale agentic AI deployments, autonomous agents are increasingly interacting with AI models, enterprise applications, and business data to automate complex workflows. This shift introduces new challenges around governance, access security, and the rising costs associated with model usage.
Nutanix Agent Gateway acts as a centralised frontdoor that manages interactions between AI agents, large language models (LLMs), and enterprise tools. It provides AI developers and platform teams with a single control point to govern agent activity, manage access policies, and monitor token consumption across agentic AI deployments.
Integrated with Nutanix Enterprise AI, the solution helps secure interactions between agents, models, and business applications while providing consistent governance across AI environments, whether they rely on frontier models hosted in the public cloud or self-hosted, private models.
Nutanix Agent Gateway addresses these challenges by centralising token observability across model providers, enabling IT and platform teams to monitor usage, allocate costs, and better control AI spending. This visibility also helps organisations identify workloads that can be shifted to self-hosted models, reducing reliance on external services and helping optimise costs.
Serving as a control layer connecting requestors (AI users and agents) to AI models and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, Nutanix Agent Gateway applies access control policies and tool-level filtering across agents. This enables agents to securely access enterprise resources within a governed environment.
Key capabilities of Nutanix Agent Gateway include:
- Nutanix Agent Gateway Governance for MCP: Set granular access control to MCP servers, enabling agents to securely connect to business tools and private data sources
- Unified Observability: Centralise visibility into token usage, MCP server access, and LLM activity
- Audit Logs: Record every MCP request with a comprehensive audit trail for AI governance
- Unified API: Access external provider models and self-hosted models through a single API, allowing developers the freedom to use the right model for the right use case
- Granular Token-Based Rate Limiting: Enforce token quotas and limits centrally that deliver real-time visibility into token usage across every agent and team
“Across the Middle East and Africa, organisations are accelerating their AI strategies as they move beyond experimentation to deploy AI agents that support critical business operations. As these deployments scale, organisations need governance that is built into their AI infrastructure from the outset. Nutanix Agent Gateway helps customers establish a secure, centrally managed foundation for agentic AI by providing visibility into AI usage, enforcing consistent access policies, and helping optimise costs across hybrid and multicloud environments. This enables enterprises across the region to innovate with greater confidence while maintaining the control and compliance their business demands.” Mohammad Abulhouf, VP & GM, Middle East & Africa, at Nutanix
Nutanix Agent Gateway enables organisations to apply consistent governance across agentic AI deployments, regardless of whether they rely on public cloud-hosted or self-hosted models. IT teams benefit from unified management of access policies, governance controls, and token consumption across their AI environments.
“Organisations are rapidly moving from pilot projects to large-scale agentic AI deployments involving hundreds or even thousands of autonomous agents. Without centralised governance, it becomes difficult to control costs, access, and compliance. As autonomous agents continue to proliferate within enterprises, Nutanix Agent Gateway provides a unified governance framework to secure and oversee agentic AI deployments.” Sammy Zoghlami, SVP EMEA at Nutanix
