Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a hybrid multicloud computing company, has launched its Cloud Native AOS solution, extending its enterprise storage and data services to hyperscaler Kubernetes® services and cloud-native bare-metal environments. This new solution eliminates the need for a hypervisor, allowing users to simplify storage management across hybrid cloud infrastructures.
As data becomes increasingly distributed, businesses need a consistent way to protect, replicate, and restore data across Kubernetes environments. Cloud Native AOS addresses this by providing a unified data platform for bare-metal, virtualized, and containerized infrastructure. It runs directly on cloud-native environments, whether in the cloud or on bare metal.
The solution enhances Kubernetes infrastructure by integrating disaster recovery across availability zones, clouds, and on-premises. It also supports seamless migration of applications and data between sites. Developers can manage all aspects of data for their applications using Kubernetes APIs.
Key Benefits of Nutanix Cloud Native AOS:
“Nutanix has built a complete platform for enterprise-grade infrastructure with advanced data services in virtualized data centers,” said Thomas Cornely, SVP, Product Management at Nutanix. “Now we are extending the reach of our platform to users of cloud-native infrastructure on Kubernetes service in public clouds and on bare metal, delivering enterprise resiliency, day 2 operations, and security.”
Cloud Native AOS is available in early access for Amazon EKS and will be generally available this summer. Early access for on-premises containerized environments on bare-metal servers is expected by the end of the year.
Dave Pearson, Infrastructure Research VP at IDC, noted, “Cloud Native AOS bridges the gap by bringing data mobility and disaster recovery to the data persistence layer of cloud-native applications.” Nutanix’s new solution is set to transform Kubernetes data management, offering enhanced resiliency and portability across hybrid infrastructures.
