Divide and Conquer…the Cloud: The Powerful combination of Nutanix and Aviatrix

A long time ago I read an article on the Nutanix Blog https://next.nutanix.com/community-blog-154/securing-the-path-to-a-rebooted-hybrid-cloud-22072 and maybe this was the first time I heard about AVIATRIX.

I had already been working with Nutanix for some years, and at that time, in LATAM, Private Clouds were initiatives more for ISPs, Cloud Providers, but not so much for companies in another sector.

In the article, Nutanix and Aviatrix proposed a joint solution to solve the headaches of managing hybrid clouds, where the center of gravity can be in the Private Cloud or in the Public Cloud. The solution focused on creating an integrated hybrid cloud fabric across private clouds and public clouds in minutes, adopt a hybrid cloud environment that enables a single unified operational model between differents clouds that any company wants to consumes. By combining the power of the cloud networking of AVIATRIX stack with the power of Enterprise Hybrid Cloud of Nutanix we will be able to build a really secured Software Defined Datacenters based on hybrid architecture https://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/partners/technology-alliances/solution-briefs/nutanix-and-aviatrix-cloud-interconnect-acx.pdf

Today, the evolution of both companies towards the MultiCloud strategy and Hybrid approach has advanced a lot. At the time I write this post, it is already a fact that we can use Nutanix and Aviatrix to simplify and automate the placement of applications and workloads in to the Public Cloud (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle OCI and Azure) while maintaining a level of Tight security, without impacting your current network topology planning. With Aviatrix and Nutanix the cloud becomes a seamless extension of your datacenter allowing you to use the cloud when it is needed and bring workloads back on premises where it makes sense, due to compliance requirements, regulations, security or business guidelines.

As a Cloud Solution Architect, I love being able to have the proven technology options to introduce customers and toher people to agnostic alternatives that allow them to extend their data centers, extend their security controls, and maintain the governance of their information assets. All this always based on a software-defined architecture.
