Strategic Partnerships

---

 NexTier is proud to maintain a strategic partnership with Microsoft, enabling us to deliver cutting-edge solutions that drive innovation, security, and efficiency for our clients. Leveraging Microsoft’s industry-leading cloud, AI, and security platforms—including Azure, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Fabric, Dynamics 365, and the Microsoft Security Suite—we help organizations modernize their infrastructure, unlock the full potential of their data, and accelerate digital transformation.

Through our partnership, NexTier gains early access to emerging technologies, best practices, and dedicated Microsoft resources, allowing us to design and implement solutions that are tailored to each client’s unique needs. We integrate Microsoft’s advanced capabilities—such as Azure OpenAI, Entra Identity, Sentinel, and Power Platform—to deliver intelligent, secure, and scalable environments that enable our clients to operate with greater agility and resilience.

Microsoft’s vision, global reach, and relentless commitment to innovation make them a recognized leader in the technology world. By combining their platforms with NexTier’s expertise in multi-cloud, hybrid-cloud, and enterprise modernization, we empower businesses to stay ahead in an ever-evolving digital landscape and achieve measurable business outcomes that drive long-term success.

NexTier’s partnership with Oracle allows us to deliver robust, enterprise-grade solutions that power mission-critical workloads for some of the most demanding industries, including financial services, retail, and high-volume online transactional businesses. Oracle’s database technology has long been the gold standard for organizations that require exceptional performance, scalability, and reliability—particularly in environments where real-time data access, transactional integrity, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable.

Financial institutions rely on Oracle databases to process millions of secure transactions per day while meeting stringent industry regulations. Retailers leverage Oracle’s capabilities to manage complex inventory systems, customer data, and omnichannel operations at scale. Online transactional companies—such as e-commerce platforms, payment processors, and reservation systems—depend on Oracle’s high availability and low-latency performance to ensure seamless customer experiences, even during peak demand.

This partnership is further strengthened by Oracle’s unique relationship with Microsoft, enabling seamless interoperability between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Microsoft Azure. Through Oracle Database@Azure, customers can run Oracle’s market-leading database services natively within Azure, combining the best of both platforms—Oracle’s proven database performance with Azure’s global reach and integrated cloud services. This powerful combination allows NexTier to deliver hybrid and multi-cloud solutions that meet the most stringent uptime, security, and performance requirements while providing the flexibility to innovate and scale in the cloud.

 NexTier partners with VMware to deliver flexible, secure, and high-performance virtualization solutions that help organizations modernize their infrastructure without disrupting existing operations. As a pioneer in virtualization and multi-cloud technologies, VMware provides the agility and scalability businesses need to adapt quickly to evolving demands. Our partnership is further enhanced by VMware’s close relationship with Microsoft through Azure VMware Solution (AVS). AVS allows organizations to run their VMware workloads natively in Azure, enabling seamless migration to the cloud while retaining existing VMware tools, processes, and skillsets. This integration combines the power of VMware’s virtualization platform with Azure’s global scale, security, and advanced services—empowering NexTier to help clients achieve faster cloud adoption, optimized performance, and reduced operational complexity. 

 NexTier’s partnership with Databricks allows us to help organizations unify their data, analytics, and AI initiatives on a single, powerful platform. As a leader in data engineering, machine learning, and collaborative analytics, Databricks empowers businesses to break down data silos and accelerate innovation. This partnership is further enhanced by Databricks’ strong relationship with Microsoft and its deep integration with Microsoft Fabric. Through native interoperability, organizations can leverage Databricks’ Lakehouse Platform alongside Fabric’s end-to-end data and analytics capabilities—streamlining data ingestion, governance, and advanced analytics in a seamless environment. By combining Databricks’ scalable AI and data processing power with Fabric’s unified analytics experience, NexTier delivers solutions that enable faster insights, smarter decisions, and transformative business outcomes. 

 NexTier’s partnership with SAP enables us to help organizations optimize their operations, unify business processes, and harness real-time data for better decision-making. SAP’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) and industry-specific solutions are trusted by leading companies worldwide to manage everything from finance and supply chain to customer experience and human resources.

This partnership is further enhanced by SAP’s close collaboration with Microsoft, which allows SAP workloads to run seamlessly on Microsoft Azure. Through the SAP on Azure program, businesses can combine SAP’s powerful business applications with Azure’s global infrastructure, advanced analytics, and AI capabilities. This integration delivers greater scalability, enhanced security, and the ability to innovate faster—whether migrating existing SAP systems to the cloud, modernizing core ERP, or unlocking insights through services like Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.

By uniting SAP’s deep industry expertise with NexTier’s cloud and data modernization capabilities, we deliver solutions that help organizations streamline operations, reduce costs, and accelerate their digital transformation.

 NexTier’s partnership with Red Hat enables us to deliver secure, flexible, and enterprise-grade hybrid cloud solutions built on open-source innovation. As the leader in enterprise Linux, Kubernetes, and container orchestration with Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat empowers organizations to modernize applications, improve portability across environments, and accelerate innovation without sacrificing security or compliance.

This collaboration is strengthened by Red Hat’s deep partnership with Microsoft, which brings the power of Red Hat OpenShift to Microsoft Azure through Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO). With ARO, organizations can deploy and manage containerized applications at scale on a fully managed, jointly supported platform—combining Red Hat’s open-source expertise with Azure’s global infrastructure, security, and advanced cloud services.

By aligning Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud capabilities with NexTier’s expertise in multi-cloud architecture, application modernization, and security, we help clients accelerate digital transformation, reduce operational complexity, and achieve consistent performance across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. Together, we deliver solutions that provide the agility and resilience needed to compete in today’s fast-changing technology landscape.
