Hi NEXT Community,

We're excited to announce Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on OVHcloud!

A Sovereign European Cloud Option

For many of our customers, especially those in Europe, data sovereignty is a top priority. With this new offering, you can run your workloads in OVHcloud's European-owned and operated datacenters. This provides a clear path to ensuring your data and operations can remain under European jurisdiction, helping you address compliance requirements and avoid exposure to extraterritorial laws.

Key Use Cases Unlocked

By extending your Nutanix environment to OVHcloud, you can treat the cloud as a seamless extension of your on-premises datacenters. This makes several key operations much simpler:

• Application Migration: Lift and shift applications and workloads to the cloud without the time, cost, and complexity of re-architecting or refactoring them.
• Disaster Recovery (DR): Easily build out a DR site in the cloud, using a predictable, cost-effective economic model that helps you avoid unexpected egress fees.
• On-Demand Elasticity: Burst into the cloud to handle seasonal demand or temporary projects, and then scale back down just as easily.

How It Works

We've focused on making the experience as seamless as possible for existing Nutanix users.

• You can discover and initiate the deployment of NC2 on OVHcloud directly from your My Nutanix account.
• The cluster itself is provisioned and managed through the OVHcloud portal, running on their dedicated, Nutanix qualified, bare metal servers.
• You have full license portability, with the flexibility to bring your own Nutanix licenses (BYOL) or acquire them directly from OVHcloud as part of a packaged service.

This combination gives you the power of dedicated hardware with the simple, unified management you expect from the Nutanix Cloud Platform.

We believe this gives you more freedom and flexibility to build your hybrid cloud, your way.

You can take an OVHcloud NC2 Test Drive right now and see how easy it is to get started.
