At #MSIgnite in Seattle, we announced that the Nutanix Cloud Clusters™ (NC2) platform is now available on the Microsoft Azure® cloud. With this latest capability, Nutanix Cloud Clusters continues to deliver a true hybrid multicloud solution to our customers.
We are also announcing that Citrix® DaaS is the first workload to be a validated solution on NC2 for Azure. Nutanix and Citrix have built a long partnership history with deep integrations, and this latest validation highlights the continued strategic collaboration of both companies. This validation also brings Day 1 support of Citrix DaaS workloads running on NC2 on Azure, providing greater capability and choice to customers.
Nutanix and Citrix’s work to test and validate Citrix DaaS on NC2 on Azure has resulted in a dual validation from both companies, simultaneously. You can read about the Nutanix validation results here. You can also read about the Citrix Ready validation results here.
Validation Benefits:
In today’s environment, businesses need application and desktop virtualization that delivers versatility, portability and scalability across infrastructure models whether that’s in the private or in the public cloud. Nutanix’s unique hybrid and multicloud solution with NC2 has a customer-centric approach to address these challenges. Use cases for a hybrid multicloud solution are increasingly prevalent across a range of customer segments, including banking and financial Services, healthcare IT, transportation, as well as many others, and Nutanix is proactively addressing the emerging business needs of these customers.
This solution is unique in allowing the deployment and movement of Citrix workloads back and forth – from cloud to cloud and from cloud to on-premises – in minutes, without any refactoring. With Nutanix NC2 on Azure, Citrix workloads can now benefit from true hybrid multicloud deployment and portability for Citrix via a known and trusted single management console in Nutanix Prism.
