Why NC2 on AWS makes hybrid cloud easy

Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS is a hybrid multicloud platform that enables your applications to run in a variety of on-premises private, or public clouds, all operated as a single cloud.

Faster, low risk application migrations

Move workloads quickly without costly application refactoring while minimizing migration risks with bi-directional portability.

Effortless scale and flexibility

Drive IT automation across the entire hybrid cloud stack, on-premises and in the public cloud leveraging the elasticity of AWS to manage expected and unexpected capacity demands.

Improved total-cost-of-operations (TCO)

Eliminate cost overruns from instance overprovisioning by leveraging the entire bare-metal node for your workloads.

Key features

Native AWS networking

Run NC2 in your existing AWS cloud accounts and VPCs, eliminating the need to manage complex and costly networking integration while also providing performance benefits.

Regional availability

Global region availability with support for AWS GovCloud ensures there are local NC2 on AWS regions near where your applications need to be.

Flexible bare-metal configurations

NC2 on AWS can be configured on a choice of node types, including compute or storage heavy, with GPU support and with all-flash or NVMe high performance storage. Mix cluster node types to suit your application needs.

Intelligent infrastructure

Node hibernate and resume

Hibernate an entire cluster with a single click, moving it S3 storage, then resume it when required to maximize cloud efficiency and to stop incurring costs when the infrastructure is not required.

Rack awareness

NC2 intelligently picks node placements across the AWS cloud racks during cluster creation to ensure a highly available rack-aware design is deployed.

Auto-host remediation

Intelligent, continuous monitoring of NC2 cluster health with automatic remediation of unforeseen errors is built-in simplifying infrastructure management.

What our customers are saying

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) has been a real game changer, allowing us to move crucial services needed on AWS in just a few hours rather than having to re-architect or replace them. At the same time, it has also enabled us to strengthen DR protection for all of our business-critical applications while simplifying management operations and, by leveraging existing skill sets, saving both time and money."

“We find the ability to run Nutanix both in our physical data centers and in our clouds very empowering, allowing us to rapidly scale without purchasing hardware that would sit idle most of the year. The ability to mix and match has proven to provide the best TCO for Lands’ End.”

- Karl Richards, Senior Director of IT Infrastructure and Information Security, Lands' End

Case Study

"We’ve become used to tight deadlines, but less than a month to set up in an area where we had no presence at all looked unworkable. Then we learnt about Nutanix Cloud Clusters and, in just two weeks, had a Nutanix cluster up and ready for new business in the AWS public cloud. As well as meeting our immediate deadline, this allowed us to still meet geographic constraints and other local regulatory requirements plus it can run all our AHV workloads unchanged and be managed remotely alongside other, on-premise, deployments."
