Neuraxpharm is the existing name of our German affiliate, which has been a major player in the CNS market since 1985, and so rebranding our European affiliates within the next months under this name leverages this important history and excellent reputation, while also uniting all our companies together under a shared name and vision. “We believe this development further reinforces our market position as a European market leader in phar- maceutical products for the treatment of the central nervous system. As one company with one easily identifiable and unique brand, our aim is to become the first partner of choice in CNS.” Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud com- puting, announced on the 1st October 2018 that its AHV hypervisor and Enterprise Cloud OS platform hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution, has met SAP’s cri- teria for running production SAP HANA ® deployments.
