New Additions to the Nutanix Government Cloud
Services FedRAMP Authorization Enables Creation of Unified Hybrid
Cloud Environment in One Hour, with Strengthened Security and Cost
Optimization
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in private, hybrid and
multicloud computing, today announced the Nutanix cloud platform
now extends to AWS GovCloud, providing a unified cloud platform
across Nutanix on-premises and bare metal Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances running on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
GovCloud region. This new solution helps enable U.S. public sector
organizations looking for the strengthened security posture offered
by AWS GovCloud to adopt the same software stack across their
private and public clouds, providing the flexibility to choose the
right cloud for each application. Additionally, Nutanix Clusters on
AWS GovCloud and Flow Security Central have been added to the
Nutanix Government Cloud Services Federal Risk and Authorization
Management Program (FedRAMP) Authorized product offering at the
moderate security impact level.
The recent Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index shows that the U.S.
Federal Government is especially bullish on hybrid cloud, with 87%
of respondents identifying it as their ideal IT operating model.
However, adoption has been slow, with only 14% currently running
it. This is not surprising as many of these organizations are
struggling with transitioning legacy and mission-critical
applications to public cloud environments. Solutions like Nutanix
Clusters on AWS GovCloud can help to simplify government
organizations’ paths to a hybrid cloud environment, removing the
need for re-architecting existing applications, and accelerating
cloud adoption to enable their mission and deliver services to the
public faster.
“U.S. Government agencies are looking for innovative solutions
that deliver a cloud smart strategy while breaking down
infrastructure silos between private and public clouds,” said Paul
Nashawaty, Senior Analyst at ESG. “With the launch of Nutanix
Clusters on AWS GovCloud, Federal and SLED IT teams can now manage
their hybrid and multicloud environments as an elastic and single
entity spanning on-premises and multiple public clouds. This
enables them to accelerate the migration of their on-prem
applications to AWS while keeping them in control of their data,
performance, and availability. Government agencies can accelerate
their cloud adoption and access rich cloud services to improve
their operations as well as significantly reduce costs."
Nutanix Clusters allows customers to create, manage, and
orchestrate their infrastructure and their applications across
private and public clouds all through a single user interface, with
license portability across both environments. This removes the need
for separate teams to manage each environment and also enables
seamless app mobility across clouds. Customers can also take
advantage of the Nutanix software stack on private and public
cloud, including unstructured storage solution Files, application
orchestration solution Calm, and database administration and
automation solution Era.
Nutanix Clusters on AWS GovCloud enables:
- Simplified Cloud Adoption: Nutanix Clusters solves a
significant pain point for public sector organizations on their
cloud journey by providing a seamless way to move virtualized
applications and data to the cloud. It enables mobility without
needing to re-architect applications, something that can be
extremely costly and time consuming. Initial set up is also very
easy, allowing IT teams to create a hybrid cloud environment in
less than one hour.
- Strengthened Security: Along with Nutanix Clusters,
customers can leverage Flow Security Central, a centralized
SaaS-based management plane delivering compliance monitoring,
network visibility, and security operations across both Nutanix and
public cloud environments, including AWS GovCloud.
- Cloud Cost Optimization: Nutanix can provide significant
cost savings to customers through increased visibility and savings
recommendations over their cloud spend. Beam, which is part of the
FedRAMP Moderate authorized Nutanix Government Cloud Services,
allows organizations to control their cloud spend by right-sizing
their infrastructure, optimizing purchase plans, and automating
manual tasks. This, along with the application mobility delivered
by Nutanix Clusters, can help organizations take control of their
cloud spend.
- Flexible Hybrid Cloud Solution: Unlike most hybrid cloud
solutions on the market, which are managed offerings, Nutanix
Clusters extends agencies’ on-premises datacenters without the
additional cost and constraints of a managed service. This provides
greater control as well as more flexibility. It also gives
customers the ability to leverage their existing portable Nutanix
licenses on either on-premises or public cloud, offering even
greater flexibility.
Beyond helping organizations accelerate cloud adoption,
customers can take advantage of cloud elasticity along with their
Nutanix on-premises environments. Whether to increase capacity for
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments, to leverage cloud
capacity for disaster recovery to help ensure continued operations,
or to increase developer productivity with elastic self-service
dev/test environments, customers will be able to seamlessly extend
their Nutanix environments to AWS GovCloud and scale as needed.
“We know Federal agencies are looking for solutions to help them
implement their Cloud Smart strategies, but existing offerings
either lack the necessary security or are cumbersome to deploy and
manage,” said Chip George, VP, U.S. Public Sector Sales at Nutanix.
“Nutanix Clusters on AWS GovCloud enables organizations to
significantly accelerate their cloud adoption without needing to
re-architect mission-critical applications that are necessary to
the agency's operations and mission, providing an easy path to a
unified hybrid cloud environment.”
Nutanix Clusters on AWS GovCloud is currently available to
customers. More information on this solution is available here.
