Unify Your Private Clouds and AWS

Nutanix Clusters delivers a Hybrid and Multicloud platform with the flexibility, simplicity, and cost efficiency needed to run applications in private or public clouds, operated as a true single cloud. Nutanix Clusters runs the core Nutanix HCI stack (including Nutanix AOS, AHV and Prism), along with all Nutanix products and services, on bare metal EC2 instances on Amazon Web Services (AWS) allowing you to easily migrate or extend applications from private clouds to AWS.

Nutanix Clusters packages a networking integration to connect your on-premises environments and public clouds without any network overlay complexity. Nutanix Clusters delivers both application mobility and license portability across clouds addressing both technological and business challenges to cloud migration. Nutanix Clusters also provides a unique one-click to hibernate feature (currently in early access) that allows you to shut down and resume your EC2 bare metal instances, send the necessary data and metadata to storage buckets, on-demand when needed, resulting in more cost efficient operations.

Nutanix Clusters currently runs on AWS (Commercial and GovCloud regions) with support for other public clouds coming soon. Learn More about the supported AWS regions and bare-metal instances in each region.

Yes, Nutanix Clusters supports AWS GovCloud in the West US and East US regions. Nutanix Clusters is also a component of the Nutanix Government Cloud Services, which has successfully completed a full security assessment and authorization at a moderate security impact level of 325 controls. The FedRAMP Moderate control baseline equates to a DoD Impact Level 2.

Nutanix Clusters installs and runs AOS, AHV and Prism on public clouds. In addition to that, you can run any Nutanix product or solution on the cloud cluster exactly like you would do in your on-premises Nutanix cluster except for Nutanix Objects which will be supported soon.

No, you do not. You can use any supported hypervisor in your on-premises cluster (AOS, ESXi, HyperV, etc). We install AHV on the cloud cluster but you can have any hypervisor on-premises. You will still be able to use Nutanix Clusters to connect AWS with your on-premises environment.

Nutanix Clusters supports 4 EC2 bare metal instance types - z1d.metal, i3.metal, i3en.metal and m5d.metal. Based on the instance type availability, the following AWS regions are supported - US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Los Angeles), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka-Local), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), EU (Frankfurt), EU (Ireland), EU (London), EU (Paris), EU (Stockholm), Middle East (Bahrain), South America (Sao Paulo).

Nutanix Clusters offers two ways to get started - a Test Drive and a Free Trial. If you would like a 30min self-guided walk-me tour of Nutanix Clusters, please start your test drive. All Nutanix and AWS infrastructure costs are covered by Nutanix during the test drive time period (availability up to 8hrs). If you are ready to start configuring your hybrid cloud with Nutanix and AWS, please start your 30-day Free Trial. All Nutanix software is free to try during the 30-day period but the AWS infrastructure cost is the responsibility of the user.
