A cloud computing business with a former valuation of over $2 billion has let go of 270 staff.
San Jose-based Nutanix, a provider of business cloud software, made the announcement in a Tuesday SEC filing.
The layoffs affect four percent of the company's more than 6,000 employees worldwide.
Nutanix's report says the layoffs will cost the business up to $25 million this quarter.
A Nutanix representative said the layoffs followed "a comprehensive evaluation of our company structure and other cost-cutting strategies to minimize expenditures."
They said: “As hard as it is to make decisions that impact employees, we believe this will enable Nutanix to be more efficient and flexible going forward as we navigate a challenging macroeconomic environment.
“We are committed to treating our impacted employees with respect and supporting them through the transition.”
Nutanix is a cloud storage and infrastructure provider for businesses, with customers including Home Depot and Volkswagen.
