There are 1,980 employees and over 3,768 customers.

With a $16 IPO, Nutanix will be valued at $2.2 billion.
The market has been a bit turbulent this year for tech companies. Several have had a rough go of it as of late. While it is not uncommon for any stock, tech or otherwise, to swing up or down at open, there has been more of a longer downward trend for most stocks we follow. Nutanix so far has had a strong opening, it open $10 over its IPO, and is up over 130% of IPO. It’s a bit premature to tell how the stock will fair long term.
