Some of the most beautiful destinations in the world can often also be the most remote. For example – the Florida Keys were transformed over time by 42 bridges, connecting an 113-mile chain of islands to allow us access to a tropical wonderland.
Similarly - the IT partner community has been waiting for the right platforms to start bringing operations together into one beautiful experience. IT is going through a seismic shift that has been accelerated by the pandemic. Initially the goals were to simply meet the challenges of rolling out remote work – but this more broadly exposed the need for much greater agility and flexibility to react to business needs as they rapidly evolve. Ideally that would be delivered with a strategy with maximum flexibility and support for a hybrid environment. In a recent Enterprise Cloud Index survey, 86% of respondents consider hybrid their ideal operating model -- but nearly all of them (96%) are facing hurdles in managing applications and data across both on-prem and public clouds.
That’s where Nutanix Clusters comes in.
Nutanix Clusters for AWS and Nutanix Clusters for Azure address a huge gap that we know you have been trying to solve for your customers for some time. Customers want to adopt public cloud but don’t quite know how to begin. Proprietary on-prem applications were not built cloud-native and hence require refactoring to move. Customers spend years refactoring or rewriting applications and take on significant business risk doing so. What’s more, the refactored solution may work on one cloud, but not on another, and businesses need to shift rapidly based on changing needs. Nutanix customers already run their on-prem mission-critical workloads on a reliable, performant, and scalable software stack. Nutanix Clusters runs that same software stack inside of the AWS or Azure Cloud, enabling customers to leverage the same technology (using the same skills set) inside the public cloud ecosystem without risk or the need to refactor. Nutanix Clusters creates an abstraction layer between clouds, yet natively integrates into the cloud environment so that it acts like it’s an AWS or Azure native service.
