Hyper-converged storage has improved performance and now supports high redundancy for our VMs
Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) was transparent because we were on a regular infrastructure before. We went on NCI and were able to improve performance, but it did not really change how things worked. The performance was really better for applications and access times to the data. I regularly looked at the analytics to see what was going on in my servers and what it was saying to optimize performance. It was pretty interesting because it could analyze and give insights on how to get things working better. In the latest versions, the Prism interface has been replaced by Prism Central. This requires another machine to be deployed to manage the servers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product includes features like Zero Trust and seamless integration with LDAP and Active Directory, which allows us to manage user access efficiently."
"Choose Nutanix for the simplicity and performance ahead of other products."
"Nutanix was just so much easier to manage and deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is its low cost, guaranteed to failover and failback with only a few clicks."
"The product provides a complete and wonderful package, and the best feature is the level of user-friendliness the solution offers, it's a class apart."
"It has centralized management. It is easy for an engineer to manage. More work goes to patching, upgrades, and maintenance. Nutanix is very easy to upgrade. It takes one click. Engineers do not need to spend additional time with Nutanix for upgrades. With one click, it will complete the upgrade and show the results. Other hypervisor solutions are not like this, specifically since you must do all the components one by one."
"Nutanix provides an all-in-one solution for operating our datacenter."
"It allows us to have a cloud-based ecosystem."
"The infrastructure has improved our turnaround time."
 

Cons

"The entry-level product has limitations on the number of disks and enclosures."
"The hardest part is negotiating for the budget to do so."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers."
"I would like to see a fuller integration with the public cloud. It would help the user enter the hybrid cloud infrastructure."
"It already has the capability to integrate with the major cloud providers but, in an upcoming release, if there is a possibility to have it integrate with other cloud providers like IBM, Alibaba, and other moderate-level cloud providers, that would be good."
"A fantastic product that could spend a bit more time in QA between releases."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"The solution could be a little less expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Nutanix price is high because it bundles all the components into single deals rather than allowing you to select the features that you want/will use."
"Its price is fine. I can't really complain about that."
"They offer multiple tier licensing which means that lower level licensing will have less features."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's pricing is higher now."
"I don't feel that I am receiving the performance which I am paying for."
"The price of the solution is high."
"Cost-wise, it is very good. It is like the hypervisor cost is not there. We only need to pay for the system and AOS licenses."
"The initial cost is affordable but the renewal fees are high."

Nutanix vs. VMware EVO:RAIL vs. FlexPod
Originally posted at www.storagegaga.com/dont-get-too-drunk-on-hyper-converged/ I hate the fact that I am bursting the big bubble brewing about Hyper Convergence (HC). I urge all to look past the hot air and hype frenzy that are going on, because in the end, the HC platforms have to be aligned…
