Our company's customers usually ask us about simplification of their virtual environments, and they don't want to go for an external storage option or have a three-tier data center architecture. Our company's customers want small boxes that can handle the complete workload, including the storage, owing to which they prefer the HCI infrastructure. Nutanix Prism is basically used to monitor and manage specific areas of Nutanix HCI.

We use Prism as a single-pane-of-glass console for all our alerts. My company started with one Nutanix cluster, but as we added more, we needed a central place to manage all of them. It's running in a hybrid environment, but we have some non-mechanical workloads that are completely on-prem. The primary users are members of the infrastructure team, but our application folks have workloads running on that platform. They reach out to us with any troubleshooting or performance-related portions issues. We don't use Nutanix for automation. We have different tools for automating VM deployment and other tasks.
We mostly use Nutanix Prism for monitoring and management. It serves as a unified dashboard for all our Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure, providing a single point of access and control. All of our workloads are hosted on our private cloud, and we have set up one cluster for the proof of concept in Azure's public cloud.

We have an on-prem hybrid solution and we have been using it for our data storage. We have things running in the cloud and we have a portion that is running on-prem and that is where we're running Nutanix. We use it for mixed workloads including web servers, front-end servers, and container-based servers. Those are the on-prem workloads that are running on Nutanix. And the workload on the cloud is our cloud environment.

We use it for managing the cluster and all the hardware that goes with it, as well as for updates, management, and the whole lifecycle of the hardware. That's all done through Prism Element. We run it in data centers and we use it for big data, ERP, SQL Databases, Exchange Servers, and file servers. Pretty much everything that can be virtualized is running on Nutanix.
We use Nutanix to run our entire network. We have 15 virtual Microsoft servers and a number of workstations running on it, as well as our internal cloud based on Nutanix. We use it for everything. We're running it in a data center.

We're using Nutanix as our main computing platform and we're using Prism with it. It's the Nutanix management UI and we're using it to manage the Nutanix cluster comprised of four physical servers. It's a single pane for management, and we're doing upgrades, updates, management, and protection, everything, through Prism. It's a really convenient interface. We run it in our own server room in our on-prem facility.

We have a four-cluster environment, two of them are on VMware and two of them are on AHV. My job is to look at the clusters and any related alerts. We have to commission and decommission virtual machines. If there are any upgrades of the BIOS or AOS, that's also part of my job. Most of our Nutanix stuff is on-premises. We do have Azure, as well, but we have not fully migrated to the cloud yet. We have database servers on Nutanix as well as application and domain servers.
I use it for day-to-day management of all of our clusters. I log in every day to verify that there are no alerts or critical issues going on. I use it to log in to our VMs, create new VMs, and delete or decommission old VMs. I also use it for updating our clusters and running lifecycle management checks for inventory. The clusters are being run at our headquarters within a server room. And our three other clusters at remote offices are in a makeshift server closet. They are mainly used for end-user computing because the three remote offices have a virtual Nasuni filer. End-users at those offices are going to the filer for their home drive, department drive, and our file share. It's mainly end-user servers that run on those remote office clusters. All of our SQL databases reside on our cluster in HQ.

We use it for hyperconverged storage only. Prism is a gateway to Nutanix Elements and the latter shows me the storage. We run it on-premises in the data center in our building and it helps run education related applications like student management, databases,and time-tabling.

Prism is the management dashboard for Nutanix. I'm in there quite frequently; not necessarily every day, but certainly, multiple times a week, whenever I'm checking on the health of the Nutanix environment. There are a number of other applications that are tied in, Nutanix products, that use Prism for management, like Nutanix Files, which we use. I'm using it to check on that frequently. I also check alerts and logs with it, and any kind of maintenance or upgrades that we do are all done through Prism. Anytime we do an AOS or foundation upgrade, or upgrades of whatever products are attached to it, they are done through Prism. It's pretty much a one-stop shop for most day-to-day management of Nutanix. The only time you would ever really go outside of it is if you're having some infrastructure problem that would require you to touch the hardware physically. We're all on-prem. We're not using any Nutanix cloud. We have multiple locations with Nutanix. It's our production environment, which includes web servers, database servers, email, and storage. Our entire environment runs on it.
We run CRM, EDI, all of our internal custom apps and batch processes, as well as ECU and BDI on Nutanix. About 80 to 85 percent of our infrastructure is Nutanix workloads. All of our workloads are currently in our own private-cloud data centers. We have three data centers. Of our eight clusters, five are running Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor and three are running VMware ESXi. We run them all through Prism Central so we can monitor the performance of all of them through Prism Central.
We use it as a private cloud for all of our IT infrastructure, including all the virtual machines for every project. We use it for workflow automation for Kubernetes. Nutanix has automation of Kubernetes clusters, and this is a very important use case for us. It is used in our organization for every system and application: Oracle Database CDB, security systems, and local systems like our antivirus security system, Active Directory, and our finance system. We have Nutanix in our main office, and two disaster sites. We run our workloads in a data center where there are physical servers and nodes.
We use Nutanix Prism for our on-premises cluster management and computing. We use Prism Central to allocate resources, create virtual machines, and do analysis on our resource consumption in our Nutanix clusters.
We are using Nutanix Prism for the replication between two sites and to manage our cluster. With the latest version, we have been able to use the synchronous replication.
We are using the core application of Nutanix, Nutanix AOS, with Prism for the application side of things. It is used specifically for its hyper-converged functionality, but not for anything database-related.
Nutanix Prism is used in a virtualized environment with high-performance requirements where people can have the VMs and run the databases with infrastructure as a given service, that has five nines or four nines uptime environments.
I am using Nutanix Prism for many types of equipment, such as servers, SAN switches, and storage areas. You are able to manage your infrastructure from one central location, such as VMs and servers.

Our primary use case for the solution is for virtual machine management and storage management. I work as a technical support specialist and we're a customer of Nutanix.
I think Nutanix is a good solution for hyper-convergence. Since there isn't always a centralized management tool that can do everything like related that. Nutanix supports all the hypervisors, that's why I feel it's best.
We are system integrators working on multiple HCI solutions. Our clients are using this solution for single data storage virtualization and computing, which includes centralized reporting. Customers can access these reports, and based on their reports they can go for further upgrades or migrated workloads.
I work as an ICT System Administrator in a tertiary institution and Nutanix is the platform we use for virtual desktop, VDI. We have approximately 200 members using the solution in addition to which we also have 350 students. The students only use it on a floating desktop pool, not concurrently.
Nutanix makes infrastructure invisible, elevating IT to focus on the applications and services that power their business. The Nutanix enterprise cloud platform leverages web-scale engineering and consumer-grade design to natively converge compute, virtualization and storage into a resilient, software-defined solution with rich machine intelligence. The result is predictable performance, cloud-like infrastructure consumption, robust security, and seamless application mobility for a broad range...
I visited PeerSpot to look for a comparison between Nutanix and VxRail prices. I am already working with Nutanix and wanted to get more information.
I use the solution in my company for all the server authorization, storing of files or as a storage, and all the IT purposes.
We primarily use the solution as a virtual platform. It serves as a server storage solution for creating a virtual platform.
