Nutanix, a provider of enterprise cloud computing, is releasing Nutanix Clusters on AWS, extending the flexibility and ease of use of the company’s hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software.
“We are excited to support an extension of a customer’s private cloud environment into AWS with the launch of Clusters on AWS. This provides customers the flexibility to get the most out of both their AWS and Nutanix environments,” said Doug Yeum, head of worldwide channels and alliances at Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Customers now have an opportunity to take advantage of Nutanix Clusters on AWS to deploy adjacent to their cloud-native applications in AWS and fast track their digital transformation.”
With this announcement, Nutanix delivers hybrid cloud infrastructure—one that allows businesses to accelerate their digital initiatives and optimize spending, priorities further amplified in the age of COVID.
Nutanix offers a single stack that integrates compute and storage, provides unified operations across private and public clouds, integrated networking with AWS, and license portability from private to public clouds, thus addressing key technical and operational challenges of the hybrid cloud era.
This release extends the simplicity and ease of use of its software to public cloud, according to the company.
This eliminates the cost and management complexity of hybrid environments and enables seamless mobility across private and public clouds without any rearchitecting of the apps due to built-in networking integration with AWS.
Customers now have the flexibility to choose the right cloud environment for each application with the added benefit of license portability across clouds, which has a direct impact on cost and resource optimization.
Additionally, customers will be able to take advantage of the company’s full software stack on private and public cloud. This includes unstructured storage solutions Files, application orchestration solution Calm, database administration and automation solution Era, and more.
Key features in Nutanix Clusters include:
- Apps and Data Mobility
- Streamlined Operations with Unified Cloud Environment
- Built-In Networking Integration with AWS
- Cloud Cost Optimization
- Freedom of Choice
“On behalf of our customers, we have always worked to make IT so simple that it’s invisible,” said Tarkan Maner, chief commercial officer at Nutanix. “As the industry evolved, our focus has expanded beyond the datacenter to help our customers manage the complexity of multiple clouds, whether private or public. Nutanix Clusters on AWS is the realization of this vision. This enables complete flexibility by allowing businesses to write code once and use it anywhere, taking advantage of scale, location, integration, and pricing of multiple options —this is the true vision of hybrid cloud.”
