You should do a test with both solutions for your client. Technically both solutions should perform very well but no one can tell which platform is more "you". That said, the main difference is Overwatch where security staff from CrowdStrike does some threat hunting on your…

in Addition to my answer: demo is nicejust test the solutions fully by doing a poc/pov. Play through all the nitty/gritty dos and donts and see with which solution you feel better Also look how you are been taking care of. If you dont feel good about responsiveness and…

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) are two solutions for endpoint security that offer distinct features and benefits EDR solutions provide continuous monitoring of endpoints and provide visibility into events, incidents, and…

Well, pricing is a sure way to disregard great technology If it’s the only angle Leadership is taking, it’s a missed opportunity. I don’t mean expensive stuff is always good, far from that. But when crunching numbers is your thing: If you look at hardware prices you will…

With Nutanix you have the freedom of choice. You can deploy it with several server hardware vendors or completely in the cloud. I don’t know Hyperflex at heart, though. Also, support at Nutanix is outstanding.

@Oliver Chitsamatanga, ​ The correct answer: it depends But firstly, let's correct your question: cloud-hosted does not necessarily conclude outsourcing. It is totally normal to self-host something in the cloud. This triggers another point: do you need to compare on-premise…

Wow, all the name-droppers are there already But we had one job: recommend the best out of two!Not recommend x,y and z. I would recommend Nutanix as it has a wider scope as a solution. Nutanix AOS has better resilience against failures and better performance and even the…

@BobWhitcombe The official nutanix site at https://www.nutanix.com/produc...software-options states there is no hard placed limit. Back in 2016 there is a twitter post stating the delivery of a 100-node-solutions using 2 PB storage. Maybe too old for you but nonetheless it…

This question is like what do you prefer? Wordpad or Word? Both are useful, just for different things. So one would probably end up using both. Would you it-central-stationeers stop with this nonsense already?

@BobWhitcombe  https://hyperhci.com/2019/06/2... Says there is no node limit for cluster size.

@Hicham Bali dont forget that simplicity is ingrained into Nutanix solutions.to  Make it better means to make it easier. And as AOS+AHV comes with best support there is nothing to gain for VMware.

I would really appreciate more targeted questions. And not from Content Directors @ IT Central Station.Let real users ask their questions. Every environment has different needs and urges Let real users speak what their key points to cover are.There are enough sites out…

@reviewer1650858 Which integrations do you use with vSAN?

KVM is better. But let's just look at the software instead of judging Hyper-V was a free solution from Microsoft to virtualize Server or Client OS as it is a feature on Windows Server since 2008 and came in Windows 8 as well. Free because they had a special SKU dedicated…

Sadly, I cant contribute due to lack of experience in that field. But I would love to read about your findings

@Evgeny Belenky It is quite clear to me. Dont know if you noticed @Giusel ​'s Vendor Badge and it is in her profile too.Community Guidelines are good but I found your approach quite harsh.Even their pricing page mentions the community version which not all vendors do so…

We've recently switched from Veeam B&R to Rubrik with their Polaris Radar Solution to detect Ransomware. VM-Backup is a standard feature nowadays DRaaS - do you mean a cloud solution or on-prem?Failover for Windows - you don't refer to Windows Failover Cluster, do you? We…

Clearly Nutanix. As to why, Nutanix has a better vision, superior support and the product is more mature. See http://www.joshodgers.com/tag/ Josh Odgers has a series of comparison articles. Short story: vSAN has been released and since that they are beginning to wipe out…

We are currently in the process of looking for "new tools" in regards to endpoint security. We use McAfee at the moment and we lean more towards S1. But I am interested how your POCs go. Please come back with some insight!

Traditionally, DR consideration was mainly to protect from hardware failures. So using an internal DR approach would take into account failure of the production hardware/software to an extent that you would have to take action but not if a plane would crash your site Such…

@Farhan Parkar Yes, but setting up University is probably takings some time to set up (was for me) and providing instant help seems more what was asked for.  Besides, the videos in Nutanix University are often put on YT as well.

Head on over to https://www.nutanixbible.com, it is your one-stop for technical details. If you just want an overview, check out the YouTube channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/...

Acropolis in itself is no product. Do we speak AOS or AHV Ort both AOS is the intelligence on Top of a hypervisor making AHV Or Vsphere an HCI Solution. AHV is Nutanix own KVM-based hypervisor managed completely within Prism from AOS, so there is no standalone offering, it…

Hello Rony, you should definitely put this question as thoroughly answered.No need to go repetitive on that.

Hey, great review fellow nutanix user. The controller VM (CVM) has lots of ressources but this is how it works. Every storage request goes through a CVM with cache, deduplication, replication and what not (depends on your feature selection). Reducing the ressources would…

So you have 25 physical servers you want to virtualize, or are there 25 VMs which need a DR solution?In both cases: this is a rather small setup.We host over 20 VMs per physical Host.  You could virtualize with ESXi and protect the VMs with Veeam. 3 Hosts for virtualization…

Can we do a proof-of-concept Does the solution support my critical/legacy application? Does the solution support my current backup solution? How does migration work, what downtime is to be expected (e.g based on hours/terabyte)? Which other aspects are possible with this…

These Must be the most oldschool applications out there of you have them since the roaring sixties But I think there is a typo, right? Agree on support but your review is quite generic. Would comply with other solutions out there(vmware   with ops). Dont feel the nine you…

@Ngole Ngole Welcome to Oracle Blogs.The content that you're looking is no longer on this page.Try visiting our Blog Directory to find what you're looking for. Fancy updating your link to a working one?

You want to simulate the migration from Xen-based Oracle VM Server to Oracle Linux KVM? And that inside your existing vmware environment?I am not acquainted with either oracle products but take a step back and you will see that you are trying to virtualize virtualization…

Ok, since you want talk with us, here is my recommendation: Rubrik. Install it wherever you want, cloud, datacenter, edge, it is your choice. Enjoy the google search experience if you are looking for a file to retrieve. Dont know the market share but that is just statistics…

Don't want to bore you with another set of product names. I am sure you are proficient using google. You even found IT Central Station!  Anyhow this question is beautifully wide open. You don't mention what you are using and what the pain points are (if any).So I see you…

Internally Nutanix AHV is in its core KVM. They did many adjustments for the sake of manageability in AHV. It comes with no additional cost in their HCI offering Nutanix Acropolis OS (AOS) Proxmox VE is another solution which is completely free and you have a nice WebGUI to…

We are using Nutanix NX. We initially considered the Dell Variant as we are Dell Reseller ourselves. But we didn't go through with it and I can honestly say I am glad we have direct wire to nutanix The Difference is only the underlying hardware and who does first level…

Hello Samuel, a review of AOS 4.6 seems like referring about invention of the wheel. We one-clicked over Christmas 2020 from AOS 5.10 to 5.15 while 5.19 is available. Don't get me wrong. Your review is great - but outdated. Nutanix Files is now a separate license on a per TB…

Ok, I have no hands-on with vxRail. But we have vGPU running on Nutanix with ESXi (vsphere). I am not aware of something like vGPU sharing across nodes/hosts. You did not mention which solution you have in mind as you would be about to choose in the process We have Citrix…

Hi, your question tangles on various subjects Firstly, IIS is a great choice for hosting internal sites. But the windows under this IIS has many issues to keep up with so most public sites are just hosted on linux. I don't want to push you to an OS you are not comfortable…

Hello, your review seems to be based off of a system that includes Nutanix Flow (micro-segmentation) which is an additional license. So the focus on the review subject is not clear if you speak of lack of integrations. And that in particular with security vendors which leads…

Great Write-Up!

I am happy to tell you that since release 5.18 there is a way to get it done more conveniently: https://portal.nutanix.com/#pa... That is still not as easy as import directly like in vmware but it gets the job done

@Ariel Lindenfeld great to see proper naming of products. But there is still the point with the incompatibilty of applications. If you ever contacted Nutanix Support you would be wowed with their level of determination to get everything running, so I doubt this has been…

Nutanix Acropolis is not really a standalone product. It is a product group. There were Acropolis File Services (now Nutanix Files), Acropolis Hypervisor (in short AHV), and Acropolis OS (short form: AOS). So what specifically is he referring to? I suppose AHV as he mentions…

We are running Nutanix Calm now for a year. We have done feature- and cost comparison with vRealize Automation. We still run ESXi as Hypervisor on our Production Cluster (non-Calm). But Nutanix AHV on our Calm-Cluster But vRealize Automation comes short in many ways. We…

Oh, you cant get rid of hardware in any way. (damn you Apple for auto-correcting english back to german) But it is true that hci is a software defined approach which has the advantage of delivering new features without new hardware. Another thing that destinguishes…

You should know the product at least to some extent before sharing a review. It seems to me you haven't taken a closer look prior your review. Instead of writing what and why you can't share this and that simply write what you know but I doubt that would reach the required…

Sorry, but AHV is just a free hypervisor choice with Nutanix. Otherwise show me how you would install AHV apart from AOS (AOS is the OS of the Controller VM Nutanix uses)!I bet you meant one can omit ESXi licensing which is true.But to be open source the source code would…

I have to strongly disagree. While ease of deployment is really nice it is an ease in a seldom executed action. But whenever problems arise you have to rely on a good support. Nutanix Support is second to none. None I came across however in the last 25 years. So lowering the…

We create Windows Testmachines for our Test Department from Win7 up to Server 2019

no personal experience with technical support? Well, I have - and it is just amazing. I never had response times inside an hour with anyone else but nutanix. And if you have your nutanix cluster on vmware they are capable of that too!You should definitely attend a…

The easy way to provide users with full-fledged VMs the way IT wants it to be while still being flexible.
