Why do companies choose NC2
for migrating to AWS cloud?

Application migration without changes

With NC2 on AWS, there’s no need to change application or service architecture, rewrite code, or retrain your team — everything works the same way, just in the cloud.

 

Migration is smooth and up to 60% faster, saving both time and money.

Reduced cloud costs

NC2 on AWS uses EC2 bare-metal instances with built-in NVMe drives, delivering high performance and service density without overpaying for oversized instances.

 

At the same time, Nutanix software ensures data integrity and infrastructure resilience.

Integration with AWS cloud services – the path to hybrid cloud

NC2 on AWS is natively integrated with AWS services, allowing you to get a traditional infrastructure in the cloud in under an hour and easily migrate your applications and services.

 

The next step is gradual refactoring of selected applications to natively leverage cloud services and reduce costs.

Key features of NC2:

Flexibility

A wide range of supported instances allows you to solve tasks efficiently and scale according to workload growth. You can combine different instance types within a single cluster.

Integration

Supports native VPC networking and service segmentation using ACLs and Security Groups.

Resilience

If an instance fails, Nutanix instantly initiates data protection recovery and automatically replaces the instance — no administrator intervention required.

Data protection

Built-in snapshot functionality stores backup copies in AWS S3, allowing for rapid recovery in any Nutanix cluster.

Cloud migration with NC2 in 3 steps

1

Contact a partner

Reach out to an authorized Nutanix and AWS partner. They will assist you with account registration, deploying an NC2 cluster on AWS, and migrating your services.

 

Nutanix provides a 30-day free NC2 license, and AWS covers the deployment and migration costs.

2

Deployment and Migration

The NC2 cluster is automatically created in your selected AWS region with the specified parameters.

 

Set up connectivity between your on-premises datacenter and the cloud (e.g., using AWS Direct Connect or VPN).

 

Virtual machine migration is done via Nutanix Move — automatically and with minimal downtime (the switch takes just a few minutes).
