What were solution providers talking about with CRN last week? Here's a handful of quotes we picked up that focused on such news stories as Nutanix's announcement about broader availability of its software stack and the change in the corner office at container giant Docker.

Dan Molina, chief technology officer at Nth Generation Computing, a San Diego-based solution provider and channel partner to both HPE and Nutanix, after Nutanix announced that it's making its software stack available for deployment by channel partners on Hewlett Packard Enterprise ProLiant servers.

"The winners with this offering are probably solution providers like us who have invested in both platforms and can bring a choice to customers. HPE will find the Nutanix offering a way to build a stronger ecosystem for its ProLiant servers."
