Nutanix Cloud Clusters

Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is the industry’s most flexible hybrid cloud solution. It allows organizations to run the full Nutanix software stack directly on bare-metal nodes in public cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

The true power of NC2 lies in its ability to eliminate the "silos" created by different cloud environments. Instead of managing two separate worlds, your team uses the same tools, the same hypervisor, and the same skill sets they already use on-premises. This makes it the ideal solution for:

• Rapid Cloud Migration: Move workloads to the cloud "as-is" (Lift & Shift) without the cost and risk of refactoring or rewriting applications.
• On-Demand Bursting: Quickly scale your infrastructure capacity to the public cloud to handle seasonal peaks or unexpected traffic.
• Disaster Recovery (DR): Set up a high-availability DR site in the cloud without the expense of maintaining a secondary physical data center.
• Cloud-Native Integration: Run your apps next to cloud-native services (like AWS S3 or Azure SQL) while maintaining the simplicity of the Nutanix management plane.

Key Features (Bullet Points for Quick Reading)

• Zero Refactoring: Migrate applications to AWS or Azure without any code changes or architectural redesigns.
• Unified Management: Manage on-prem and public cloud nodes from a single Nutanix Prism console.
• License Portability: Easily move your Nutanix licenses between your local data center and the cloud as your business needs shift.
• Native Networking: Use your existing VPCs and network configurations in the cloud, avoiding complex networking overlays.
• Cloud Efficiency: Only pay for the cloud resources you use, with the ability to spin up or hibernate nodes as needed.
