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.
