This pre-installed solution running the Nutanix Cloud Platform is ready to use in a matter of hours, running on 100% dedicated and secure OVHcloud infrastructure. The scalable, all-inclusive platform is designed for organisations that want to migrate their applications to the cloud or embark on a hybrid multicloud journey by scaling their applications to cloud for seasonal demands and taking advantage of DR in the cloud. Customers can leverage a common software management plane from Nutanix tying their OVHcloud solution to the Nutanix Cloud Platform.

This offering enhances the OVHcloud Private Cloud portfolio and provides organisations with the combination of the services of European cloud provider and Nutanix’s Cloud Platform built on its HCI software. The Hosted Private Cloud portfolio allows companies to leverage a dedicated infrastructure that scales alongside business needs. The use of a market standard such as Nutanix frees organisations from technical lock-in and provides continuity outside an OVHcloud environment.

The OVHcloud infrastructure meets security and data protection standards, in line with HDS, ISO27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. In addition, this infrastructure can help customers maintain data sovereignty.

“The partnership between OVHcloud and Nutanix delivers a cloud smart choice for all workloads, giving organisations of all sizes a secure and powerful new hybrid cloud option,” said Christian Alvarez, SVP, WW channels, Nutanix. “The all-inclusive offering provides Nutanix’s industry leading software capabilities along with OVH’s infrastructure flexibility and network connectivity options that eliminate any ingress and egress cost surprises.“

Two companies team up for cloud migration
Hosted Private Cloud powered by Nutanix addresses the needs of organisations that want to migrate their applications quickly and easily to the cloud. This helps them save time and improve productivity while remaining focused on their core business. The solution also integrates with a hybrid cloud strategy, securely tying cloud workloads to those that remain on-premises. Hosted Private Cloud is also for businesses wishing to implement a DR plan, since its secondary infrastructure can be switched to the cloud in a few clicks. Finally, SMBs and large enterprises that experience seasonal variations in business can leverage this solution to absorb their peak loads in the cloud without investing heavily in on-premise infrastructure.

“We are pleased to join forces with Nutanix to help organisations move toward new opportunities in the field of hyperconvergence. This new private cloud offering combines the best of our two companies and complements our solutions, to offer businesses outstanding services that are suited to their specific needs,” said Thierry Souche, CTO, OVHcloud.

Leaders in private cloud and hybrid multicloud
The Hosted Private Cloud is a competitive and all-inclusive offering that combines hardware, software, installation, and configuration, including network. It allows OVHcloud customers and partners to save installation and configuration time. With support for consumption-based pricing across the stack (Nutanix software and OVHcloud Bare Metal hardware), it also enables them to streamline their expenses, and move from Capex to Opex.
