What advice do you have for others considering Nutanix Acropolis AOS?

Further emphasis on Nutanix marketing is recommended, including holding events in Myanmar. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure can be used up to 100% of its capacity, but our company is presently using 80% of the solution's resources. Our company manufactures iron casting products in the metal industry, and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is also used. For virtualization purposes, Nutanix Acropolis is used as a full-stack solution. For the Windows virtual machines in our company's server, Nutanix Acropolis is utilized instead of solutions like VMware Hypervisor. One of the main reasons our company adopted Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure was its data protection features. The solution is also used in disaster recovery through the automatic snapshots feature on the local site. Next year, our organization will try to join clusters in the network using the solution. Network clustering will help our organization's team move workloads into the geographical cluster automatically. Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is considered an ideal solution for disaster recovery where data protection remains embedded. The solution is capable of even capturing auto snapshots for remote sites. Next year, our company plans to test new features of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure that will assist in automated workload movements on two sides at a distance of 60 kilometers. I would recommend others use the solution for its exceptional stability, performance, hardware compatibility, and overall flexibility. Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure allows the use of varying hardware for the same cluster. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten overall.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten. I am exploring new technologies because the market was different when I implemented NCI six years ago. Keeping up with changes is important, so I'm currently evaluating new options. I am looking to KVM. You should use NCI if you can afford it.

I would rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure nine out of ten. The cost is high, otherwise it would be a ten. Our Nutanix servers are deployed on-premises in Texas and California. We provide hosting services, including server setup, database configuration, and application deployment. We manage all our clients' servers on-premises using Nutanix, a hyper-converged infrastructure platform. Our primary focus is assisting clients with application-related setups on Nutanix. We manage a large-scale infrastructure with over 300 hundred virtual machines running on Nutanix. While Nutanix Cloud offers a compelling option for data storage, particularly its disaster recovery capabilities against ransomware and viruses, our current organizational structure is better suited for an on-premises solution. This allows us to focus on controlling costs associated with on-premises licensing rather than cloud service fees. Nutanix requires minimal ongoing maintenance. However, when they release new features and updates, installing them becomes necessary. Thankfully, the installation process is straightforward. The support team is also happy to assist with any maintenance needs. Expanding our storage capacity is the one major maintenance task. This involves purchasing additional servers and integrating them into our existing cluster. On average two people can handle the maintenance. The most important consideration is understanding your infrastructure needs. Based on that assessment, we can recommend the best option for you. Recently, we assisted a client who wanted to purchase their own server. We facilitated the purchase of a Nutanix server on the client's behalf and ensured its delivery to their location. There are two main cost models to consider: upfront investment and ongoing costs. A one-time purchase requires a larger initial investment but eliminates ongoing costs for several years. Conversely, cloud services like AWS require monthly payments for as long as you use them. By comparing the total cost of ownership over a set period, you can potentially save 70 to 80 percent compared to cloud services. I strongly recommend Nutanix. After purchasing Nutanix, we found it to be so effective that we no longer needed to consider any other products.

I recommend the solution because it can converge the data center stack, including computing, storage, networking, and installation, all under one umbrella. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. Compared to a standard SAN solution, its performance is better and it is more feature-rich. Their hypervisor and cloud system is better. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I would rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure an eight out of ten. Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's application and database performance is more seamless compared to the traditional solutions. Our clients value Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's ability to offer a variety of cloud operating models across on-premises, Edge, and multiple hosted managed and public clouds. Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure requires maintenance. Upgrading is easy to do. Adding storage on demand is a moderate task.

Overall, I would rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure a nine out of ten.

My advice is to get away from the traditional approach and think in forward terms about an HCI model. Nutanix stays ahead in the market. I haven't seen any drawbacks that would lead me to suggest any improvements to the functionality of NCI.

Clients usually evaluate a product when they have a pain area, they have a tech refresh, or they want to adopt a new technology. For example, if they are on the old three-tier architecture, they might be curious about HCI. We explain all the benefits of not only the HCI technology but also specifically of Nutanix for HCI. We explain how it addresses their pain area or needs. It has low overheads, so the cost of ownership is also low. They get a robust environment, and it is very easy to handle. It saves time. You do not have to go to DCN, mount storage, deal with SAN switches, etc. All those tasks are time-consuming. The maintenance and configuration take time. Nutanix saves you time. You can fulfill your needs or your clients' needs. The deployment is easy. Sometimes, our clients get astonished at the speed of deployment because they were expecting it to take weeks or months. It is simple but powerful. It is very easy. Overall, I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

I rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure eight out of 10. I would recommend NCI to others if they are searching for a new product.

I rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure an eight out of ten. Initial planning is critical when you deploy a solution like this. You need to plan in terms of capacity, sizing, and environment. It's essential to understand your requirements. With appropriate planning, you won't face problems in the future.

Overall, I rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure a nine out of ten.

My organization is the first company to deploy Nutanix in India. We deployed the solution in Gujarat, Sacramento, and Texas. The solution has beautiful architecture. Our customers are from the healthcare industry, and they cannot afford to have downtime. With Nutanix’s robust solution, we never face any downtime. Everything we need is available within Nutanix. We do not need to buy any other product. Previously, most of our workload was on Azure and AWS. Now we have a hybrid setup. We save a lot of money. We use around 4000 VMs in our data center. Upgrading hosts have to be done manually in VMware. Nutanix helps us a lot from a management perspective. People planning to buy the product should evaluate their expenses in the current infrastructure and understand how much they will save from implementing the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Overall, I rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure a ten out of ten.

Apart from saving money, the product gives us peace of mind. NCI made a big positive impact on our business-critical workloads. Our team is comfortable working with NCI because of its ease of use. With Life Cycle Manager, all our equipment stays up to date. NCI saved us money because we don’t have to pay separate license fees for each separate piece. NCI helped consolidate the work to one person and free up our staff for other projects. People will not regret choosing Nutanix, especially if they come from a more complex environment. The product will give them peace of mind and less headache. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We struggle with software licensing. Everybody's charging by the core. The larger nodes I put in, the more dense I can go, but my licensing costs are still going out. I really like the whole LCM process in Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure. The whole one-click isn't true. If I go into LCM, do an inventory, and then say patch everything, it will ultimately fail. However, it still works out all right, and we can patch the firmware, drivers, AOS, and all the nodes and do a rolling patch. When considering NCI, the big thing is considering your entire infrastructure because you go from different vendors and different hardware to handling storage and computing. I think what Nutanix and NCI offer is far better than VMware and Red Hat. We haven't used much on the security side with Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure. NCI being pre-hardened helps me a lot because that keeps the security team off my back. We do the encryption but don't use the micro-segmentation because that falls to our security team and their firewalls I have run into problems with Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure, where I have an overabundance of one aspect of the infrastructure and then come up slightly short on another aspect. For example, somebody throws out a server and needs 20 terabytes of space. I buy nodes to fulfill that, but now I'm sitting there with a whole bunch of extra computing. I've tried using just the storage blocks, and I'll never do it again because it's just a waste of licensing. Overall, I rate Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) a six out of ten.

I give Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure a seven out of ten. The reason our customers choose Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is that the total cost of ownership is lower compared to implementing a traditional three-tier architecture. Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is deployed in one primary location and is easy to maintain. Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is a viable alternative to VMware. If the price is suitable for an organization, they can consider implementing this solution.

I have good friends in the field from different organizations because I have more than 12 years of experience. I've been recommending Nutanix to them. I'm not sure about the cost part, but I'm quite sure about the administrative part.

My advice is to purchase Nutanix. It will help with your infrastructure.

We already bought three Lenovo nodes and Nutanix licenses. We are going to expand the solution next month in October. For most organizations, the first agenda is to look at the cost. If you are comparing Nutanix with any other solutions, Nutanix will be one of the best options. It is very stable now. You can reduce the manpower needed because even a single engineer can manage the maintenance. Overall, I can rate it as eight out of 10 since there are few limitations.

I would advise anyone considering implementing Acropolis AOS to configure their network properly because if it isn't, it's very difficult to apply the solution. I would rate this solution eight out of ten.

I would give this solution 10 out of 10. I would use Nutanix, especially if you have a virtual desktop infrastructure and you want good, stable performance. Before using this solution, we had performance issues with our virtual desktop environment and now our virtual desktops work very well, as if we were working on laptops or desktops.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I have experience with Nutanix Acropolis AOS, and I have a lot of certification in Nutanix products. I'm a consultant. My customers are enterprise companies. I have a lab where I test the infrastructure before presenting it to a customer. Nutanix Acropolis AOS is my first hyperconverged solution. The client told our team to search for other solutions, so I did a comparison among three solutions: one from VMware, one from Nutanix, and one from Dell. My advice to others who may want to use this product is to learn first from the Nutanix University. Nutanix has a great website you can use to be familiar with the basics of the product, then you can do the certification. I'm giving an eight out of ten rating for Nutanix Acropolis AOS.

Nutanix Acropolis AOS is deployed on hardware, without a layer in between. It's server hardware installed. Nutanix Acropolis AOS was good, e.g. from its performance running faster than VMware ESXi on a vSAN, so I'm rating it an eight out of ten.

While all versions start as on-premises, and we mostly use on=premises, we do have one deployment on the cloud. I'd advise potential new users to get a little bit of training before starting. I would rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It's been very good so far in terms of the level of capabilities on offer.

Nutanix is the best solution for infrastructure on cloud, hybrid, or on-premise. I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others. My advice to others is to do some kind of POC, try and test it themselves before selecting any HCI solution. They should not purchase anything until they have confidence in their abilities. I would suggest they use a demo to receive some hands-on experience, evaluate, and compare both the technologies simultaneously, and then decide which is best suited for purchase. I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a six out of ten.

We are partners and we partner directly with Nutanix. We're also resellers. I'd advise the solution is definitely something that a company should go for. One of the major things is that Nutanix allows you to move from VMware to Acropolis and it also allows you to move back. There is no harm in actually trying out Nutanix Acropolis and seeing how it works out. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We have contacted more than one partner regarding the hyper-converged system. They sent us their solution from HP, for instance, they have their own hyper-converged system. They are using the DL Series DL380 and I went back to Gartner reports and other review sites, and then compared the specs to others. There is a hyper-converged solution from Dell but I think the leader in this technology right now is Nutanix. It is important to do a proof of concept. The Patriarchate that owns the university is also in charge of multiple educational institutions. What we are thinking is to migrate all our services, to have our own private cloud, instead of being hosted separately into multiple hosts in our university. That's why we are planning to increase our nodes and to move all of the nodes, and all of the e-services related to our institute, inside our campus. My advice to others is this solution is great and I highly recommend it. It's much better than the other technology or the deployed traditional solutions. I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a ten out of ten.

It is very good to have an on-premise cloud system, it works well. I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a ten out of ten.

If you are looking for flexibility, space-saving, power-saving, and the best ROI, this is the solution to use. The solution is new in our market so there are no local representatives here. Because this is a new product it is not yet certified with a lot of ERP vendors in this region. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. I recommend this solution to others, however, if you have Oracle Database or Oracle licensing in general, then you need to think about how many licenses will be required—based on that, your overall TCO may increase significantly. Otherwise, in terms of virtualization, scaling, etc., everything is fine.

I rate Nutanix a ten out of ten. I recommend this solution to any companies considering implementation. It was a good business investment for our company and as an extended working system, it is easy to maintain and use. The costs for running it are also low. For most companies who are already running some system at a certain scale and on-premises, I think a lot of them could benefit from this solution. I'm an end user and don't have any direct business connection with Nutanix—I only contact them when I need technical support.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

I rate this solution seven out of 10.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS as a nine out of ten.

We are an integrator. I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very happy with its capabilities overall. I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

This solution is one o the top platforms in its class. I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS an eight out of ten.

I would rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a nine out of 10. It is pretty good.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a nine out of ten.

It is difficult for me to point to areas that need improvement. AOS is constantly on the move to new heights. It is considered even on a feature-level with vSAN, while far ahead of that in regards to performance and resilience. See Nutanix Principal Architect Josh Odgers CloudXC | By Josh Odgers – VMware Certified Design Expert (VCDX) #90 for a detailed explanation on that topic.

In summary, this product is very mature, stable, and easy to use. It is a platform that I can recommend, although it is based on the requirements and needs of the customer. Nutanix is a popular solution in Indonesia because it can only be used by SMB customers. Ultimately, after I look at the requirements, I decide what technology will best suit the customer. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

In terms of the solution overall, there are positive responses from my side. I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a nine out of ten.

I work for a distributor of Nutanix that also handles VMware. However, I market the Nutanix solutions primarily. We're resellers and we're a partner of Nutanix. We use both on-premises and cloud deployment versions. We tend to use Google and Amazon clouds when we use cloud deployments. The platform is very easy to use and the administration functionality is good. Even in relation to VMware, which is cheaper, I like Nutanix best. It's easy to learn and the processes of configuration and onboarding are fantastic. Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

Take a look at the network requirements for the solution. It tells you a lot about the efficiency of it. I'd give it a nine out of ten because it works. It does what they say it does. It is hard to get a 10 out of 10 for me, but it is a pretty good solution. If I rated other companies I've worked with, they'd get sevens or sixes. I like Nutanix. They're doing a good job.

My advice for anybody who is looking into Nutanix Acropolis AOS is to have a look at the other solutions on the market because the suitability of one over the other might depend on your business requirements and what it is that you are trying to do. This is a good product but in the future, I would like to see them focus on integration and simplicity because it would help to make it more user-friendly. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others and I will continue to integrate this solution into the future. I would rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS solution a nine out of ten.

Overall, this is a very good product. I would say that it is a Top of the World solution. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Always go for AHV Option because VMware is costly, especially if you're considering not only the hypervisor cost but considering vRealize Operations, Automation and NSX on top. Nutanix will help you to wave out the hypervisor TAX which is not less than 20 % of any infrastructure initial setup cost

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Way to go Nutanix. Keep up the great work. We look forward to a very long term relationship.

My advice is that deduplication and compression can save money, so use it.

It is a robust solution that also has integrations and a complete suite of solutions for multi-cloud environments.

It's a good alternative, but it doesn't have all of the features. It's not on par with VMware but it is a potential alternative. It's similar to comparing Apple to Oranges. If you are invested in the infrastructure and that is what you have to consider, but it's not easy. Overall, it's good software. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We have a business relationship with Nutanix. We're a reseller and services partner. I'd advise other companies considering the solution to do your research fully and make sure it's going to fit what you need it to do before jumping in. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. Their continuation of integration into all the supporting infrastructure is great. It's just about making sure that they got all the accreditations with backup and replication software and the antivirus. If they had an even wider ecosystem that supported additional products I'd rate them higher.

We're a Nutanix reseller. We would recommend this solution to others. We tend to recommend it often to our clients. All of our customers rate this solution very high, so I would rate it overall at an eight out of ten.

In terms of advice I could give to those considering the solution, I'll say this: it all depends on what they're looking for and what their ultimate objectives are. They need to clarify that internally before landing on Nutanix. At the same time, anyone going for hyper-converged should do so, as it's the future. Once a company decides on a solution like Nutanix, they expect to reap the benefits. Even before going with their decision, they need to know what it offers and how it will work to help them achieve their goals. At the end of the day, it's all about our clients being more effective and efficient in their daily work or with their end clients. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. They're still evolving and we are not yet in a situation where we must interact fully. Some people will definitely come and tell you Nutanix is very, very expensive. However, expensive with regards to what? Or expensive compared to what? It's all about what you get out of it, and what kind of returns you're expecting. This is where Nutanix can make a difference.

The biggest thing that I've seen has been the backup and recovery which has been challenging for them over the past couple of years. They partnered with Beam and with Rubrik and Cohesity. They had their OEM go-to's, but didn't initially deliver a very good story for application integration for backup and recovery where they had good copy data management. Most of the OEMs are very good at backing up single clusters for local backup and recovery. That said, whenever true disaster recovery was needed and you're leveraging multiple Nutanix missions site to site, there wasn't the visibility of being able to backup or being able to have the application integration. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

I strongly recommend the product. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We're just a Nutanix customer. We don't have any partnership or other type of relationship with the organization. The solution is a good product. It works great on newer systems, however, if a company has an older system they might run into issues. The performance is great and the pricing is very reasonable, which is why we like it and why we would recommend it to others. I would rate the solution seven out of ten. If it worked better with older systems, I might rank it a bit higher.

I would recommend Nutanix Acropolis. We are a national insurance company here. We require scalability. Nutanix is very good at whatever the scale is. There are no headaches. You can boot-up other servers, all in one. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Nutanix Acropolis a nine. I would go to 10, but many features are not perfect.

My advice is to go for Nutanix because it is the way the market is going. Nutanix is becoming the leader in the market. Also, Nutanix offers far more software features than other products. You will not need much effort to understand the product. It's very simple to work with. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten. I can't give it a full ten yet since we are not fully inside.

Nutanix is an extremely cost effective product for the stability that you get without having to install additional hardware to get everything up and running. No other product out there can compare with Nutanix. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

My first advice to others considering using this solution would be to always use the support because they are great. The second advice would be to read the Nutanix Bible, which is quite good. It's an online resource allowing you to understand what Nutanix is all about. The third thing is to always follow the best practices that Nutanix provides. If you follow the correct practices, you are on the fast track. I rate this a nine and a half out of ten because nothing is ever perfect. But Nutanix comes very close.

It's easy for your IT department, manager, or director. The simplicity of it is good. I would rate this solution at 8.5 out of 10. I would rate it a 10 if support was increased in Saudi Arabia and the pricing was more competitive.

The advice I would give would be to ensure you choose the right configuration. I like the product very much. I would say use it as a solution. I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

Follow the best practices and check everything. The network is always the point of failure, and if you don't configure or manage the best ways for the network, it will remind you that you have an issue, or that you don't have well-prepared deployment. I would rate Nutanix as nine out of ten because there is always room for improvement. From the beginning, they had a start-up position, but now it seems that they are going to move to the dark side of the market on the license end, like VMware. It seems like you will need a license for everything now. In the beginning, you could have everything with one license, but it looks like now you need a license for these features, another license for other features, and for everything that gives improvements to the solutions you have to buy another license for. That is not good from my point of view.

I would advise someone considering this solution to go with it. We deal with multiple vendors. We're actually partners with a lot of vendors. Most of the enterprise vendors are in the top 10 but I'll say that this is the best that I've worked with. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I would rate Nutanix as nine out of ten. A perfect ten is very challenging to acheive, but I think nine is basically perfect.

We have recently acquired this solution and have done the training. We are going to be using it to support technical applications before we can generalize it, and use it on a much bigger scale. Currently, it is not the number of users that we are focused on. It will be for technical applications used only by the IT team, which is approximately seventy people. At this point, my advice for other people who are implementing this product is that they should trust Nutanix. It is a good solution and it is easy to work on their platform. It is compatible with VMware, and they have their own container, which is free. I would rate this product a ten out of ten.

This is the Nutanix management web interface.
