Nutanix has announced an expanded strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate cloud migration and provide options for customers managing workloads across on-premises and cloud environments. This aims to reduce the friction required for IT modernization, making it easier for customers to leverage AWS services to drive innovation.
Through this collaboration, customers can leverage Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS, which will enable them to seamlessly extend their on-premises Nutanix environment to AWS. This integration allows organizations to run their applications on a consistent environment across both on-premises and AWS, and benefit from access to AWS services, including AWS Databases, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) services, as well as the security, resiliency, and scalability AWS offers.
“90% of organizations are taking a ‘cloud smart’ approach to their infrastructure strategy – leveraging the best environment for each of their applications,” said Tarkan Maner, Chief Commercial Officer at Nutanix. “Our expanded strategic partnership with AWS is a win-win-win for both companies and our customers, as it will help simplify their cloud migration journeys, accelerate their adoption of AWS using NC2, and open the door to hybrid cloud and on-prem Nutanix opportunities.”
"Our expanded collaboration with Nutanix represents a significant step forward in simplifying cloud migration, and helping customers innovate,” said Chris Sullivan, Vice President, Americas Channels & Alliances at AWS. “This partnership will empower more customers to accelerate their digital transformation journey, allowing them to leverage the scalability, security, resiliency, and innovation of AWS and its services."
NC2 on AWS delivers a cost-effective solution with disaster recovery, data center extension, and application migration and modernization. This enables intelligent workload placement of applications and data with zero code changes, and helps break down silos within the IT organization. Additional customer benefits include: Faster, low-risk app migrations; effortless scale and flexibility; and increase cloud efficiency.
As part of the collaboration, AWS will also make available promotional credits to support customer migrations and proof of concepts. Leveraging the AWS VMware Migration Accelerator, customers can gain access to promotional credits for migrating VMWare on AWS workloads to NC2 on AWS. Additionally, customers migrating workloads from other clouds or on-premises will also have access to the AWS Migration Acceleration Program benefits, including a free proof-of-concept trials, migration assessment and support with AWS credits, as well as Nutanix licensing pricing promotions.
