Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Organizations should move to the cloud with Nutanix because it offers a fast, low-risk path by enabling seamless migration of existing workloads—without the need for refactoring or re-platforming. Unlike going directly to the cloud, Nutanix provides:
- Consistent operations across hybrid environments, with a unified control plane that spans public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises infrastructure—ideal for organizations that will continue to maintain some on-prem footprint.
- Workload mobility across clouds and on-premises, giving teams the flexibility to move applications as business needs evolve, without being locked into a single vendor.
- Smart cost control and governance, with visibility and optimization tools that span environments.
- Avoid need for specialized cloud skills, allowing existing IT teams to manage infrastructure using familiar tools and processes.
- Agility and control, enabling modernization at your own pace while maintaining operational consistency.
Nutanix is the smart way to modernize, delivering cloud benefits without the complexity or compromise.
NC2 is different because it’s the same. NCI and NC2 use the same data and management planes on-premises and in multiple clouds. With one management console for all locations, the operational complexity of migrating or extending applications and data is dramatically reduced. Additional differentiated benefits include:
- Licenses are portable across clouds, so no new licenses are required if migrating VMs, applications, or data.
- NC2 can be deployed in just a few hours, greatly accelerating migration or data center extension use cases.
- NC2 is not a managed service. Customers control when, where, and how to deploy or repatriate.
Nutanix offers a variety of licensing options to meet diverse needs. To learn more, visit the Nutanix Cloud Software Options page.
