Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
now available on AWS
Enterprise cloud solutions vendor Nutanix, has announced the
general availability of Nutanix Clusters on AWS, extending the
flexibility and ease of use of the company’s hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI) software.
With the announcement, Nutanix is delivering hybrid cloud
infrastructure that allows businesses to accelerate their digital
initiatives and optimise spending priorities.
In addition, Nutanix offers a single stack that integrates compute
and storage, providing 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.
According to Gartner, by 2021, 90% of organisations will have
deployed a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud model for their IT needs.
Companies require the flexibility of multiple clouds while they
continue to struggle with the complexity, operational silos and costs
of managing private and public clouds.
“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, 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.”
A unified solution that provides a consistent experience, tooling and
operational practices across clouds will allow companies to break
down silos and reduce inefficiencies while enabling the advantage of
flexibility to choose the right cloud for each workload.
With the deal, Nutanix is extending the simplicity and ease
of use of its software to public cloud. 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.
“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

pricing of multiple options – this is the true vision of hybrid cloud.” •
