Accelerate Cloud Adoption on Microsoft Azure

Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) delivers a hybrid cloud 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 Azure Bare Metal instances to run the Nutanix software, allowing you to deploy and manage Nutanix clusters directly within Azure while leveraging existing Azure networking and services.

Yes, you can use the products and services in Microsoft Azure that you already have.

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, extending, or bursting applications and data 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 burst or migration use cases. 
• NC2 is not a managed service. Customers control when, where, and how to deploy or repatriate.
