Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Design Bootcamp held in Riyadh — an advanced, hands-on training program focused on designing resilient, scalable, and high-performing Nutanix Enterprise Cloud solutions.

The bootcamp brought together passionate professionals from across the region to collaborate, share knowledge, and tackle real-world design challenges that mirror enterprise-scale customer environments. It was a week filled with deep technical learning, strategic thinking, and collaborative problem-solving — truly one of the most enriching training experiences I’ve had so far.

Deep Dive into Enterprise Cloud Design

The sessions covered an impressive range of topics, from infrastructure and storage architecture to resiliency, data protection, Network and Security. What made the bootcamp unique was the focus on practical application — each day involved a combination of learning modules, group discussions, and team-based design exercises that simulated real customer scenarios.

Every design challenge required balancing performance, availability, scalability, and cost-efficiency, which made us think critically about trade-offs and architectural decisions. It wasn’t just about knowing the technology — it was about designing with intent.

Collaboration, Stress, and Satisfaction

This wasn’t your typical classroom training. Each exercise pushed us to work as a team under pressure, defend our design decisions, and present our solutions to experienced Nutanix architects. The environment was intense but deeply rewarding.

By the end of the week, every participant had stepped out of their comfort zone — presenting complex architectures, debating approaches, and learning from one another. The shared sense of accomplishment made it worth every late-night diagram and every revision slide before presentation time.

Acknowledgments

A heartfelt thanks to Mr. Feras for his continued support and for making this opportunity possible, and to Mr. Irfan Mukadam for nominating me for the advanced training. Your confidence and encouragement mean a lot — and it truly reflects FutureTEC’s dedication to nurturing and growing its technical talent.

Special appreciation to Michal Webster and Fouad Khatib for their exceptional mentorship and for leading the sessions with such enthusiasm, energy, and technical depth. Their ability to blend theory with real-world insights made the learning experience truly memorable.

Back to Kuwait, Ready to Apply and Share

Now that I’m back in Kuwait, I’m excited to apply the lessons learned during the bootcamp to real projects and share that knowledge with my team. The week in Riyadh reinforced the importance of continuous learning, collaboration, and design thinking in building robust enterprise cloud solutions.

This experience reaffirmed my belief that technology training isn’t just about upgrading technical skills — it’s about changing the way we approach design, strategy, and problem-solving.

Final Thoughts

The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Design Bootcamp is more than a training — it’s an experience that transforms how you view enterprise architecture. It challenges you to think like a solution designer, collaborate like an architect, and deliver like a trusted advisor.

I’m grateful for this opportunity and proud to represent FutureTEC in such an impactful learning journey.

Here’s to more learning, collaboration, and innovation ahead!
