Unify Your Private Clouds and AWS
Nutanix Clusters delivers the industry’s first cloud platform with the flexibility, simplicity, and cost efficiency needed to manage applications and infrastructure in private and public clouds like AWS, operated as a single cloud.
Nutanix Clusters gives you a wide range of pricing & licensing choices, ranging from on-demand Pay-as-you-Go (PAYG) to Bring Your Own License (BYOL) with the portability of existing licenses.
Nutanix Clusters deploys the core Nutanix HCI Software, AOS, on AWS bare metal instances and supports AOS Pro and AOS Ultimate software editions. Note that AOS Starter edition is not available to run on public clouds. For comparison of feature details for the two software editions, refer to the AOS Software Editions table.
Pay-as-you-Go (PayG)
On-demand consumption based pricing with no commitment. Monthly billing based on the vCPU & storage capacity consumed.
- No upfront commitment
- Pay for what you use, metered hourly
- Billed monthly based on consumption
- Great for short duration or unplanned usage
Cloud Commit (CC)
Commit to paying a minimum amount upfront and get discounted consumption for one year, including any consumption above the upfront commitment amount. Two discount levels available based on the upfront commitment amount: $35,000 to $100,000 (CC-35) and $100,000+ (CC-100).
- Upfront annual payment commitment with discounted billing
- Pay for what you use, metered hourly
- Overages billed monthly at a discounted rate
- Great for demand with known variability
Bring your own License (BYOL)
License portability benefits by transferring capacity from your on-premises term based capacity based licenses (CBL) to AWS
- Ideal for flexible capacity across on-premises and AWS environments
- Term based licensing (1 to 5 yrs) with capacity based pricing
