Ensures streamlined management, simplified infrastructure, and efficient data handling
It has effectively managed our unstructured data, including audio and video files. We've experienced smooth operations without any complaints regarding uploading or downloading videos. While video usage isn't as frequent, we primarily utilize it for downloading videos related to specific incidents for administrators or our police department. We've encountered no issues uploading files of any kind. Transitioning from VMware to Nutanix has highlighted the overall flexibility of Nutanix's platform. Unlike VMware's three-tier system, Nutanix simplifies the learning curve by streamlining operations. The update process, in particular, has been favorable, with no critical issues encountered. The resiliency of Nutanix hasn't been thoroughly tested in our environment so far. However, I routinely check fault tolerance settings to ensure they meet our requirements. During the update process, I've observed critical errors occur as hosts restart, but Nutanix's self-healing mechanism handles these issues seamlessly. The benefit of using Nutanix is evident in several ways. Firstly, we've effectively compressed our storage while significantly expanding our overall storage pool. Previously, our service had a capacity of twenty-five terabytes, but with Nutanix, we've scaled up to a hundred and twenty terabytes physically and approximately fifty terabytes logically. This expansion has been accompanied by noticeable improvements in performance, particularly with reduced latency and IOPS well within the boundaries of our equipment. All our resources are centralized in a single location for managing and running storage: our data center. We operate three Nutanix nodes within this center, effectively managing everything from one central location. We don't have any other locations outside of our data center running a Nutanix cluster. Nutanix's capability to eliminate silos within our organization's storage infrastructure was discussed during our recent call with the engineer. Although we haven't explored this feature extensively yet, there's a forthcoming project where we anticipate leveraging it.One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered. With VMware, I could download a separate client program onto my computer, allowing me to log in directly rather than accessing the host through a browser.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"The product is good, easy to upgrade, easy to use, and user-friendly."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The scalability, data redundancy, and security are valuable."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"From an analytics perspective, the best aspect of Unified Storage is its locality. When you read data, you want to know that you're only reading data from the particular local storage node. It's also critical to access the data as quickly as possible from that. From a business perspective, the most important thing is ease of use. Having a combination of compute and storage makes it much easier to manage."
"The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"It's a scalable product."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"The interface is good."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
 

Cons

"Some of the new features in the tool cannot be used with just one click, as was possible in the past."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"There is some confusion in the reporting when I have to create the report for statistics. I find it is not so user-friendly."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
