I am using the version that was released before the latest version. People planning to buy the solution must make sure that whatever software they put on it is licensed in a way that is friendly for moving block storage in Nutanix. Some products like Oracle Database are not licensed in a way that is friendly for Nutanix products. It is very expensive to license these products. Technically, it is a very good product with good support, but it is very expensive. Other alternatives might require a little bit more technical support, but their prices are very friendly. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
I rate Nutanix Volumes eight out of 10. If Nutanix is the primary solution with the web app and BP, you should use a single HCI model to reduce the complexity in the primary application.

I would recommend this solution because it can give the other Nutanix solutions a block storage service and supports other applications, such as Red Hat and Oracle Database. I rate Nutanix Volumes a nine out of ten.

I am a solutions architect and I work for a reseller who implements products for customers. I do a lot of work in backup and recovery. I sell these solutions or I put together a solution architecture for each project. Overall, it's a good product. The hyper-converged is good, as long as it is sized correctly to fit your workload. Most of the challenges I see with Nutanix are due to the wrong architecture. It needs to be correctly sized. If it is not properly sized then you get poor performance. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
