Key Features of NC2 on AWS
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 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 to S3 storage, then resume it when required to maximize cloud efficiency and to stop incurring costs when the infrastructure is not required.
Auto-Host Remediation
Intelligent, continuous monitoring of NC2 cluster health with automatic remediation of unforeseen errors is built-in simplifying infrastructure management.
Seamless Data Mobility with MST DR
Seamlessly offload snapshots from on-prem clusters to AWS S3, spin up a secondary cluster on-demand for disaster recovery, and recover anywhere that NCP runs.

FAQs
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) delivers a hybrid multicloud platform with the flexibility, simplicity, and cost efficiency needed to run applications in private or public clouds, operated as a true single cloud. Avoid lengthy hardware delays with NC2, which runs the core Nutanix HCI stack (including Nutanix AOS, AHV and Prism), along with other Nutanix products and services, on bare metal instances in public clouds allowing customers to easily migrate or extend applications from on-premises to public cloud providers.
NC2 utilizes AWS Bare Metal instances to run the Nutanix software, allowing you to deploy and manage Nutanix clusters directly within AWS while leveraging existing AWS networking and services.
Yes, you can use the products and services in AWS that you already have.
Yes, you can use your existing Nutanix licenses on NC2 on AWS.
NC2 is different because it’s the same. NC2 uses the same data and management planes on-premises and in multiple clouds. With one management console for all locations, the operational complexity of migrating or extending applications, data, and AI workloads is dramatically reduced. In addition, customers gain immediate capacity in the cloud, avoiding lengthy hardware delays while preserving both operational continuity and modernization momentum.
Additional differentiated benefits include:
- Licenses are portable across clouds, so no new licenses are required if migrating VMs, applications, or data.
- NC2 can be deployed in just a few hours, greatly accelerating migration or data center extension use cases.
- NC2 is not a managed service. Customers control when, where, and how to deploy or repatriate.
Customers pay Nutanix for Nutanix software and pay Amazon for cloud resources consumed.
Nutanix software on Clusters can be consumed in the following ways:
- BYO Licenses - Bring your own term based licenses that you currently own or are purchasing. This allows customers to port their on premises licenses to NC2. Note, AOS License must be Pro or Ultimate; AOS Starter cannot be used with NC2
- PAYG - Pay as you go per hour on cores/hr and SSD/hr.
- Cloud Commit - Term based minimum commit with overages.
