Protecting Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is an extension of the Nutanix Cloud Platform, enabling organizations to run Nutanix Cloud Platform software on AWS. It replicates the core Nutanix HCI software used on-premises in a public cloud hyperscaler environment, delivering the same virtualized and software-defined benefits in both private and public clouds.
For more information on Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS, refer to the Nutanix documentation online.
In the Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) environment, virtual machines can be protected using NetBackup 10.4 and later versions. Once Nutanix clusters and Prism Central are deployed in the Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) environment, they can be configured within the NetBackup Web UI, similar to on-premises Nutanix clusters and Prism Central. After successfully configuring the cluster in NetBackup, the virtual machines will be discovered. Subsequently, these virtual machines can be protected using the protection plan designed for AHV workloads.
Note:
NetBackup protects virtual machines in the Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) environment similarly to those in on-prem Nutanix clusters. For more details on protecting Nutanix on-premises virtual machines with NetBackup, refer to the Managing AHV clusters chapter in NetBackup™ for Nutanix AHV Administrator's Guide.
