Nutanix and AWS have formed a partnership to streamline cloud migration and enable businesses to seamlessly extend their on-prem infrastructure to the cloud.
The strategic alliance aims to help firms manage complex technology shifts with less friction.
Nutanix said it has struck an expanded partnership deal with Amazon Web Services to help businesses manage their transition to cloud computing.
The collaboration centered on Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS, a technology enabling firms to extend their existing on-premises computer systems into Amazon’s cloud platform without major disruption.
Nutanix said NC2 customer benefits include cost-efficiency with disaster recovery, data center extension, application migration and modernizations, effortless scaling and flexibility, and increased cloud resource efficiency.
“Ninety percent 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.
Telstra-owned managed service provider Versent’s senior director of cloud, Jeremy Currall, said the partnership between Nutanix and AWS enhances his company’s ability to provide practical, streamlined hybrid cloud solutions that address its clients’ efficiency, scalability, and security needs.
“Leveraging NC2 on AWS, we can deliver a unified hybrid environment that enables businesses to run their workloads smoothly, both on-premises and in the cloud,” Currall said.
“Versent is working closely with Nutanix to support our clients’ transition to the cloud, drive digital transformation, and help reduce costs,” he added.
Financial incentives formed a key part of the agreement, with AWS offering credits to help firms test and move their systems.
