The AWS Storage Gateway service now supports the Nutanix AHV hypervisor as a deployment option for S3 File, Tape and Volume gateways. If you use Nutanix AHV hypervisor-based on-premises infrastructure, you can now deploy Storage Gateway in your environment to access virtually unlimited cloud storage.
Nutanix AHV (Acropolis Hypervisor) is a KVM-based virtualization platform that is integrated into the Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution. With this launch, you have the option to deploy Storage Gateway on a Nutanix AHV hypervisor.
Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that provides on-premises applications access to virtually unlimited cloud storage using NFS, SMB, iSCSI, and iSCSI-VTL interfaces. You can use the service to backup and archive data to AWS, shift on-premises storage to cloud-backed file shares, and provide on-premises applications low-latency access to data in AWS. You can deploy Storage Gateway as a virtual appliance (VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Linux KVM, and now Nutanix) on premises or as an Amazon EC2 instance in AWS.
This capability is available in all AWS Regions. Visit the Storage Gateway User guide to learn more, or log into the Storage Gateway management console to get started.
