Organizations expect an influx of 750 million new apps by 2026, creating massive infrastructure complexity. This guide reveals how the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) eliminates silos and unifies management across any environment.
While a lot of organizations operate in multiple on-premises and cloud environments, many of these locations are siloed, with limited interoperability between them and no ability to monitor and manage the entire ecosystem cohesively.
Nutanix Cloud Platform breaks down barriers that complicate hybrid multicloud operations by enabling you to run apps and data anywhere. It’s a single, easy-to-use platform that unifies on-premises, datacenter, cloud, and edge locations—with full license portability across these environments.
Stop infrastructure firefighting and focus on innovation. Unifying your environment on the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) moves you beyond siloed maintenance to operational excellence. This integrated architecture provides a consistent operating model for VMs and containers, eliminating expensive refactoring while delivering high-performance data services from edge to cloud.
This software-defined approach enables IT teams to automate security and gain visibility to prevent cloud sprawl. By aligning infrastructure spend with outcomes, you reduce TCO while maintaining the freedom to scale resources with license portability across any environment.

IDC White Paper: The Business Value of Nutanix Cloud Platform
Thanks to Nutanix, we've not only accelerated our workflow, but we’ve also revolutionized it. We've broken through barriers we once thought impenetrable, and we’re handling massive amounts of data like it's child's play.
Nutanix gives us a single management platform to balance our workloads across multiple clouds. It is the key to our hybrid cloud strategy – an in-house infrastructure that natively connects to cloud and optimizes costs.
NC2 has been a game changer for us, because we’ve already got an investment in Nutanix. We’ve got the ability to scale really rapidly and we don’t have to do a huge amount of transformation to do that, it’s also cost effective.
A hybrid multicloud is an operating model that encompasses multiple environments—including on-premises datacenters, public clouds, service providers, and edge locations—managed as a cohesive ecosystem.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) allow Nutanix software to run natively on bare-metal instances in AWS and Microsoft Azure. This enables application portability without re-architecting or refactoring code.
Yes. Nutanix Cloud Platform allows you to run containers and VMs on the same infrastructure, providing unified data services for Kubernetes while maintaining the ease-of-management found in Nutanix virtualization.
