Nutanix Unveils Cloud Clusters on Azure in UAE

Nutanix (NASDAQ:NTNX), a hybrid multicloud computing company, is thrilled to announce the general availability of Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on Microsoft Azure in the United Arab Emirates. This launch provides businesses with a powerful hybrid cloud solution that emphasizes data localization, improving compliance and performance for organizations in the region.

With NC2 on Azure, enterprises can seamlessly extend their existing Nutanix environments to Azure, enabling them to run applications across both on-premises and cloud infrastructures. This capability not only offers operational flexibility but also assists organizations in maintaining compliance with local data regulations by keeping sensitive data within the UAE.

Data localization has become increasingly vital for businesses aiming to meet regulatory requirements and protect their data. By leveraging NC2 on Azure, UAE-based organizations can mitigate risks associated with cross-border data transfers and enhance trust among customers and stakeholders.

“Today’s launch is a pivotal moment for businesses in the UAE, allowing them to fully leverage the potential of hybrid cloud while adhering to stringent data localization requirements,” said Raif Abou Diab, Country Manager for UAE, Oman, Pakistan, and Sub-Saharan Africa at Nutanix. “With Nutanix Cloud Clusters on Microsoft Azure, our customers can seamlessly bridge their on-premises and cloud environments, ensuring operational efficiency, supporting compliance with local regulations, and establishing a secure foundation for innovation and growth.”

“Public cloud has become a key business investment, but many customers must manage workloads across both public and private clouds,” remarked Tariq Halawani, Executive Director of Enterprise Solutions at Microsoft UAE. “NC2 on Azure not only ensures consistency but also lowers network latency and boosts cost efficiency.”
