per 1 AUG 2017, Nutanix already sold SW only, customer could purchase their own HW, I had closed a few deals for SW only, this even leverage the choice of server, like Fujitsu, UCS, HP DL380& DL580, as long it comply with Nutanix software matrix, to ask for the matrix please…

with Nutanix you could mix the type of hardware different proc or base model server there is capacity forecast in license PRISM PRO, this is very effective one day once the cluster size reach over 100 nodes, another feature which I like is multi tenancy, with that feature…

they are all similar but the best SDS is Nutanix if you had try how simple PRISM and the true power of Acropolis distributed storage fabric VSAN still use RAID at disk level NUTANIX use RAID at metadata level no further explaination
