Our use case for Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is pretty much just general compute on it, including some VDI, as well as general workloads and databases.

I primarily use Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) for our virtual desktop, specifically Citrix Virtual Desktop for DR, and it provides the same experience as our on-prem Nutanix.

It is for disaster recovery with Citrix VDI. We moved the workload from on-premises to the cloud, so all users can use VDI in Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2). It involves enterprise applications and workloads.
Our main use cases for Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) are that we're currently using it on Azure and have it deployed in a non-production environment to set up a cluster for our Oracle billing system. I have used Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) for data center extension or scaling workloads on demand. Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) has helped us stand up a few applications there; we haven't migrated our existing applications. I have not used Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) to migrate enterprise applications.
We have been using Nutanix Cloud Clusters primarily for disaster recovery. We have a pilot light in AWS and we use that to burst if we have to. We are a Citrix shop with about 250 Citrix XenApp servers on-site and if there's a disaster, we could burst up what we have in the cloud. Nutanix makes it amazingly easy to increase the number of servers we have in the cloud, but when we're not using them, we could have it down to three nodes to do our storage tasks. We have not actually used Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) for data center extension or scaling workloads on demand. However, we know it's there. I have increased the number of nodes we have and built new stuff up there and brought them up and down to see how easy it is, and it was amazingly easy. We are mostly deployed on-premise and are just using the cloud for disaster recovery. Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) could help with migrating our apps and data into the public cloud. We haven't used it for that, but I could see how easy it would be to have it up there and building it. I could definitely see how it would work, but we're not doing that. We have not yet used Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) to migrate enterprise applications. It's one of the things that I could definitely see being able to do, but we're not doing that. The reason stopping us from migrating enterprise applications is that we are iSeries, so a lot of our stuff is on-prem right now.
The customer is a company in Thailand. They use Nutanix Cloud Clusters for file sharing and integrate with personal file share and knowledge management. Our customer attaches a file service with a login and connects with WiFi for cloud content, such as second documents or email access files.
Our primary use case for Nutanix Clusters involves operating virtual platforms. We use Nutanix as our storage infrastructure and VMware ESXi for compute infrastructure. This setup is predominantly utilized within the government sector.

We are a cloud service provider, so we offer the product as a service for our customers. We use it in-house as well. We offer various services like containers as a service, storage as a service, and so on.
We use Nutanix Cloud Clusters to deploy the organization's VMs and clusters. We are running those VMs now on OpenShift. Our current deployment is on-prem, but once we finish our Kubernetes deployment, we'll take the next step toward an AWS hybrid cloud.

We have some workloads that we want to get from on-premises to the cloud, and we're doing some test cases on the migrations of our virtual machines to NC2. That's part of the plan (especially for the G4 nodes, which are out of support). We're looking into the pros and cons of replacing the actual hardware versus moving it to a Nutanix cloud.

We need to exit our private data center and migrate to the public cloud. Transforming all our systems and the native cloud is very challenging. NC2 gives us the ability to migrate to the public cloud while giving us more time to transform all these applications that we have into modern apps.

We are a solution provider and Nutanix Clusters is one of the products that we sell to our customers. We deal primarily with architectural products that include physical servers, networking, and storage. It is mostly on the hardware side. Nutanix Clusters is for customers that want to go to the cloud, but they have applications that can't be moved. By implementing Clusters, we can move most of the applications back and forth between the cloud an on-premises.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) provide essential capabilities for managing cloud migration, infrastructure, disaster recovery, and data center replacement. They enable seamless application transfer between cloud and on-premises, ensuring redundancy and handling large-scale operations across multiple locations.
With NC2, users manage server virtualization, web access, and email services while implementing robust failover solutions into public cloud environments like Microsoft Azure and...
