AWS Storage Gateway now supports Nutanix AHV hypervisor

AWS Storage Gateway

AWS Storage Gateway now supports the Nutanix AHV hypervisor for S3 File, Tape, and Volume gateways. This allows users with Nutanix AHV hypervisor-based on-premises infrastructure to deploy Storage Gateway in their environment for access to virtually unlimited cloud storage.

Nutanix AHV is a KVM-based virtualization platform integrated into the Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution. With this launch, you can 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.
