Cloud Native AOS integrates Nutanix enterprise storage and advanced data services into Kubernetes and cloud native bare metal environments, eliminating the need for a hypervisor. As data becomes more distributed, users need a consistent way to protect, replicate, and restore data across various infrastructures. This solution extends Nutanix's proven AOS Storage software to stateful applications, offering enterprise resiliency, day 2 operations, and security, while consolidating storage management across the distributed hybrid cloud.
This solution is ideally suited to supporting container applications running on AWS EKS.
