Nutanix has announced that its cloud infrastructure is now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud.

According the enterprise cloud company, the move extends the flexibility and ease of use of its hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) software, along with all its products and services, to bare metal Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances on AWS.

Nutanix says it is extending the simplicity and ease of use of Nutanix Clusters to public cloud and delivering hybrid cloud infrastructure that enables businesses to accelerate their digital initiatives and optimise spending priorities, amplified in the age of COVID-19.

In addition, it will eliminate the cost and management complexity of hybrid environments and enable seamless mobility across private and public clouds without any rearchitecting of the apps due to built-in networking integration with AWS.

Customers will be able to take advantage of the company’s full software stack, including unstructured storage solutions, application orchestration solutions, database administration and automation solutions, and more.

Nutanix offers a single stack that integrates compute and storage, provides unified operations across private and public clouds, integrated networking with AWS, and licence portability from private to public clouds.

According to Gartner, by 2021, 90% of organisations will have deployed a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud model for their IT needs. 

“A unified solution that provides a consistent experience, tooling, and operational practices across clouds will allow companies to break down silos and reduce inefficiencies while enabling the flexibility to choose the right cloud for each workload,” Nutanix says.

Tarkan Maner, chief commercial officer at Nutanix, says the company has worked to make IT so simple that it's invisible. 

“As the industry evolved, our focus has expanded beyond the data centre to help our customers manage the complexity of multiple clouds, whether private or public. Nutanix Clusters on AWS is the realisation of this vision. This enables complete flexibility by allowing businesses to write code once and use it anywhere, taking advantage of scale, location, integration, and pricing of multiple options.”
