Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix vs. Red Hat Virtualization (discontinued)

Great solution that provides latest of Cisco UCS servers, Cisco Intersight and Nutanix software integration.

Effective for VMware Stack to build VMs with vCenter and moving VMs live using vMotion.

Equally effective with Kubernetics and KLS work load

Easy to add more capacity

Power footprint could be a limitation for advance AI and ML workloads.

Very happy with solution

RHEV is well suited for organizations that need a cost-effective and flexible solution for their environment. As its vendor-independent software, easily install on any type of hardware. RHEV provides a GUI interface to manage the software, which makes the management of the software easier for the end-user. RHEV is best for non-production or less critical applications. RHEV can be easily integrated with other REDHAT software.

• RHV issues/bugs can be reported via Bugzilla to RH support. The service is great and typically responds soon.
• Red Hat distribution integration is seamless as it is integrated into the kernel.
• OpenStack support enables more customized VM templates and network configuration control.

• solution with two different companies - support could improve
• Cisco provide hardware like rack servers and blades, while Nutanix has the software
• Faster solution would be include latest GPUs and DPUs

• 1- RHVM API is pretty slow, especially after creating a VM it is not possible to retrieve the VM details (i.e VM's MAC Address) fast enough, where we need to place a pause in our Ansible Playbook, make the automation process slow.
• 2- RHV is still using collected to monitor the hypervisors which is deviating from Red Hat policy for other RHEL based applications to use PCP to monitor, which is richer in features.
• 3- It will be great if it is possible to patch the hypervisors using other tools such as satellite and not only via RHVM.
• 4- In the past Red Hat used to present patches in the z release (i.e. 4.3.z), and features in the y release (i.e 4. y), but starting from 4.4 that is mixed together wherein the Z release you get both patches and features, that is not good because that requires a lot of time to test when we patch as it includes features as well.
• 5- Engineering team has to be more reactive when new feature is requested.

It is much better , faster and created for high availability work loads that are dynamic to deploy and grow based on need and business demand.

We have use vSAN deployed prior to this new solution, and we prefer Cisco solution by a large margin to accommodate our growing requirements.

We are always watching other products and keeping ahead of the technology.

RHEV is an excellent product, includes more features, is less expensive, and has rock solid reliability and is backed with the best Red Hat Support in the industry. RHEV uses KVM under the hood which is used by all the big players in the industry (AWS, Rackspace, etc) to lower their overall costs and improve efficiency and profits and that's why RHEV is an excellent solution!
