Introduction
As organisations increasingly deploy Nutanix Cloud Clusters across multiple public cloud providers, the complexity of protecting these distributed workloads has become a pressing operational concern. This webinar examines the data protection challenges that emerge when NC2 environments span AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and OVHcloud, offering practical guidance for IT teams responsible for backup, disaster recovery and cyber resilience in hybrid infrastructure.
The session is particularly timely given the accelerating adoption of NC2 as a pathway for enterprises to extend their Nutanix investments into public cloud environments. While this approach delivers flexibility and scalability, it also introduces new considerations around data protection that traditional backup architectures were not designed to address.
About This Event
Hosted by HYCU, this virtual session is led by a Senior Product Marketing Manager and structured as a technical demonstration combined with educational content. The webinar explores how organisations can implement automated data protection for NC2 workloads without relying on agent-based or proxy-dependent backup tools, which often introduce management overhead in distributed cloud environments.
The presentation demonstrates approaches to leveraging NC2 itself as a recovery destination, enabling failover and failback capabilities that align with modern disaster recovery requirements. This architectural approach reflects a broader industry shift toward integrating backup and recovery functions directly into cloud-native infrastructure rather than bolting on legacy solutions.
Multi-Cloud Data Protection for Nutanix Environments
The core technical discussion centres on protecting NC2 workloads that operate across heterogeneous public cloud environments. Nutanix Cloud Clusters allow organisations to run the Nutanix software stack on bare-metal instances within major cloud providers, creating a consistent operational layer across on-premises and cloud infrastructure. However, this consistency at the compute layer does not automatically extend to data protection.
Each public cloud provider offers native backup and snapshot capabilities, but these tools operate independently and lack unified policy management across environments. For organisations running NC2 on multiple clouds simultaneously, this fragmentation creates operational complexity and potential gaps in protection coverage. The webinar addresses how policy-driven automation can establish consistent backup behaviours regardless of where specific workloads reside.
Cyber Resilience and Ransomware Considerations
A significant portion of the session addresses cyber resilience, with particular attention to ransomware threats. Backup immutability has become a critical requirement as attackers increasingly target backup repositories alongside production systems. The discussion covers how immutable backup copies can serve as a last line of defence when primary systems and conventional backups are compromised.
The relationship between backup architecture and recovery time objectives receives attention, as organisations must balance comprehensive protection against the operational reality of restoring services quickly following an incident. NC2’s role as a potential recovery destination offers an alternative to traditional disaster recovery sites, potentially reducing both complexity and cost for organisations already invested in the Nutanix ecosystem.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for technical professionals responsible for infrastructure protection in organisations using or evaluating Nutanix Cloud Clusters. Cloud architects will find value in understanding how data protection integrates with multi-cloud NC2 deployments, while backup administrators can assess whether agentless approaches suit their operational requirements.
Disaster recovery specialists and security officers concerned with ransomware resilience will benefit from the discussion of immutability and automated failover capabilities. The content assumes familiarity with Nutanix environments and general cloud infrastructure concepts, making it most relevant for mid-to-large enterprises with existing hybrid cloud strategies.
