How NC2 on Google Cloud Simplifies
Hybrid Cloud

NC2 on Google Cloud is a hybrid cloud platform that enables apps to run in a variety of on-premises, private and public clouds, all operated as a unified cloud.

Accelerate Migration and Modernization

Migrate apps and data to Google Cloud quicker than other methods with minimal risk. Plus, modernize with Nutanix Kubernetes, database services, and AI, and integrate with native cloud services.

Simplify Cloud Operations

Deploy and control virtualized and containerized workloads in your Google Cloud account and VPC for a simpler management experience.

Increase Cloud Efficiency

Eliminate cost overruns from instance overprovisioning by leveraging the entire bare-metal node for workloads.

Unified Hybrid Cloud Operations

Key Features

Google Cloud Native Services

Easily integrate with your choice of Google Cloud native services, such as Big Query, Cloud Storage, Vertex AI, Cloud SQL, and Google Kubernetes Engine.

Integrated Flow Virtual Networking

Deployments in customer VPCs with built-in networking integration eliminates the need to use Cloud Interconnect between other Google Cloud VPCs and reduces complexity.

Nutanix License Portability

Move Nutanix licenses between on-premises and Google Cloud for faster time-to-value and increased flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

NC2 delivers a hybrid multicloud platform with the flexibility, simplicity and cost efficiency needed to run apps in private or public clouds and operates as a single, unified cloud. It runs the core Nutanix HCI stack – including Nutanix AOS, AHV, Prism, and other Nutanix products and services – on bare metal instances in public clouds. This allows customers to easily migrate apps and data from on-premises to Google Cloud quicker than other methods with minimal risk, bidirectional portability, and no costly refactoring. Plus, modernize with Nutanix Kubernetes, database services, and AI, and integrate with native Google Cloud services.

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 modernizing apps and data is dramatically reduced. Additional differentiated benefits include:

  • Licenses are portable across clouds, so no new licenses are required if migrating VMs, apps 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.
