## Use cases and supported scenarios
49+
50+
Learn about use cases and supported scenarios for NC2 on Azure, including cluster management, disaster recovery, on-demand elasticity, and lift-and-shift.
51+
52+
### Unified management experience - cluster management
53+
54+
That operations and cluster management be nearly identical to on-premises is critical to customers.
55+
Customers can update capacity, monitor alerts, replace hosts, monitor usage, and more by combining the respective strengths of Microsoft and Nutanix.
56+
57+
### Disaster recovery
58+
59+
Disaster recovery is critical to cloud functionality.
60+
A disaster can be any of the following:
61+
62+
- Cyber attack
63+
- Data breach
64+
- Equipment failure
65+
- Natural disaster
66+
- Data loss
67+
- Human error
68+
- Malware and viruses
69+
- Network and internet blips
70+
- Hardware and/or software failure
71+
- Weather catastrophes
72+
- Flooding
73+
- Office vandalism
74+
75+
When a disaster strikes, the goal of any DR plan is to ensure operations run as normally as possible.
76+
While the business will be aware of the crisis, ideally, its customers and end-users shouldn't be affected.
77+
78+
### On-demand elasticity
79+
80+
Scale up and scale out as you like.
81+
We provide the flexibility that means you don't have to procure hardware yourself - with just a click of a button you can get additional nodes in the cloud nearly instantly.
82+
83+
### Lift and shift
84+
85+
Move applications to the cloud and modernize your infrastructure.
86+
Applications move with no changes, allowing for flexible operations and minimum downtime.
87+
88+
