Nutanix on Azure: Deploy. Migrate. Modernize

SNP Technologies

Organizations running Nutanix on-premises want the agility and scalability of Microsoft Azure—without re-architecting applications, retraining teams, or introducing operational complexity.

Nutanix on Azure: Deploy. Migrate. Modernize is a 16-week enablement engagement delivered by SNP Technologies that helps customers deploy Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on Azure, migrate workloads with minimal disruption, and modernize infrastructure using a proven, low-risk approach. This engagement enables customers to run Nutanix natively on Azure BareMetal while continuing to use the same tools, skills, and licenses they already trust—fully integrated with the Azure ecosystem.

What’s Included:

Phase 1: Deploy & Secure NC2 on Azure:

  • Pre-deployment readiness and workload assessment
  • NC2 node sizing and Azure subscription planning
  • Secure connectivity via ExpressRoute or VPN
  • Azure networking, IP planning, and outbound connectivity
  • Security configuration using Azure AD, RBAC, MFA, NSGs, Firewall, and micro-segmentation
  • Enable lifecycle management, patching, and updates

    Phase 2: Migrate Workloads to Azure:

  • Migration discovery and dependency analysis
  • Migration architecture and network design
  • Deployment of Nutanix MOVE migration appliance
  • Test migrations and phased production cutover
  • Application validation and post-migration support
  • Phase 3: Disaster Recovery & Backup

  • Protection Domain–based DR
  • Prism Central–based DR
  • API-based DR for third-party integrations
  • Since Azure Backup is not natively supported for NC2 workloads, SNP designs and implements third-party backup solutions, including: Commvault, Rubrik, Veeam and Cohesity
  • Key Business Benefits:

  • Faster Cloud Adoption: Lift and shift workloads without refactoring
  • Operational Consistency: Same Nutanix tools, processes, and skills
  • Cost Optimization: License reuse, Azure Hybrid Benefit, Reserved Instances, and free Windows Server ESUs
  • Built-In Resilience: Enterprise-grade disaster recovery and backup
  • Elastic Scalability: Scale on demand without procurement delays
  • Ideal Customer Scenarios:

  • Data center exit or consolidation
  • Azure-based disaster recovery
  • Seasonal or burst scaling
  • Rapid cloud migration without application changes
  • Infrastructure modernization with minimal risk
  • Customer Outcomes:

  • A fully deployed, secure, and operational NC2 on Azure environment aligned to best practices
  • Minimal-downtime workload migration with no application changes
  • Predictable recovery, protected data, and improved business continuity
  • Engage SNP Technologies to deploy, migrate, and modernize your Nutanix environment on Azure.
