Customers
Australian Bureau of Statistics
“The Australian Bureau of Statistics is Australia's national statistical agency, responsible for, among other things, the Australian Census. The Census is Australia's largest peacetime logistical operation and the increased IT demand needed to support this Census project is one of the main reasons we looked at hybrid cloud platforms. They provide the flexibility and agility needed to adapt to significant spikes in demand. We were already Nutanix customers, running our VDI and analytical workloads in our datacenter, and also use AWS. A single hybrid cloud solution to manage multiple clouds will make it easier to scale our IT needs. NC2 provides a seamless way to burst capacity into public clouds to increase our VDI workloads when needed to support Census activities, while knowing all our apps will just work – without needing to repackage or rearchitect them.”
—Julian Doak, CISO at the Australian Bureau of Statistics
Penn National Insurance
“At Penn National Insurance, we were looking for a new solution to support our VDI workloads to ensure business continuity if our primary datacenter suffers from a disaster event. NC2 allows us to easily create a hybrid and multicloud environment spanning our Nutanix datacenter and AWS, so that we can very rapidly burst capacity in AWS when needed to quickly restore our workloads from a backup. On top of the flexibility that this solution provides, the ability to use our existing AWS networking setup made the NC2 deployment very easy while delivering the expected performance. Now we know we can expand VDI capacity with one-click, and hibernate our hybrid cloud workloads when not in use, so we only pay for the capacity we need.”
—Craig Wiley, Sr Infrastructure Systems Architect at Penn National Insurance

Industry Analysts
ESG
The distributed nature of modern IT environments creates significant challenges for the digital initiatives that many businesses want to adopt. Managing both on-premises and cloud-based services and applications can result in separate infrastructure management teams for each environment, which slows innovation. The NC2 ability to manage hybrid and multicloud environments as a single entity gives IT teams a truly elastic environment spanning on-premises and multiple public clouds. This enables a single IT team to scale whichever environment makes the most sense for the business based on cost, performance, or availability.”
—Bob Laliberte, Practice Director & Senior Analyst, ESG
Gartner
“Although public cloud adoption is progressing rapidly, less than 20% of total IT expenditure was allocated to public cloud in 2019 according to the Gartner IT Budget Benchmark. Some workloads must remain private due to regulatory, compliance, physical location or other requirements. Organizations must develop a strategy for modernizing private workloads in addition to their public cloud adoption strategy. To accelerate their cloud journeys organizations need technology solutions that can help them address key operational and technical challenges that arise from managing both public and private environments, including legacy app migration and unified operations across clouds.”
—Gartner, The Many Faces of Private Cloud, January 2020, Alan Waite, Sr Director Analyst.
IDC
“According to IDC research, by 2022 over 90% of enterprises worldwide will be relying on a mix of on-premises/dedicated private clouds, multiple public clouds, and legacy platforms to meet their infrastructure needs. The current work from home situation is accelerating adoption of cloud as enterprises look to mitigate future disruptions by being more secure, flexible, agile, and resilient. We see NC2 addressing a key pain point of hybrid/multi-cloud computing by extending the simplicity and flexibility of Nutanix HCI to public clouds, while also delivering unified operations and seamless application migration.”
—Ashish Nadkarni, Group VP, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies, IDC
