Diagram 2: NMST with Pilot Light

The synergy between our PAYG licensing and NMST-powered DR is a game-changer. You can protect your workloads in low-cost object storage and only pay for the cloud compute infrastructure when you're actively testing or failing over. Best of all, NMST is an integrated part of the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) license, not a separately priced add-on.

Furthermore, Nutanix's native DR capabilities, including NMST, support multi-site configurations, enabling you to easily send a third copy of your data to an object store for compliance or as an additional layer of protection alongside existing replication.

True hybrid multicloud freedom is about more than just a portable license. It's about the power to choose the right commercial model and the right technical architecture for every workload. While others are simplifying their offerings by limiting your options, Nutanix remains committed to expanding them.

With Nutanix, "on your terms" means the freedom to use your existing licenses, procure through cloud marketplaces, or pay as you go. It means the freedom to build a cost-effective, on-demand DR solution that doesn't require a massive upfront investment. It means true control over your cloud journey.
