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, organizations modernize with Nutanix Kubernetes, database services, and AI, and with native Google Cloud services.
