Nutanix AHV - Excellent Hypervisor, Excellent Service
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Nutanix AHV is our primary on-premise hypervisor. Our day-to-day operations and nearly all virtual workloads run on Nutanix AHV. Workloads include, web servers, database workloads, virtual desktop infrastructure, application servers.Environments served: Test, Dev, QA, UAT and Production. We migrated to hyperconverged Nutanix AHV and NX hardware from ESXi on Cisco UCS and NetApp as a three-tier solution. Our business case was for datacenter modernization, datacenter footprint reduction, power and cooling savings. We were able to reduce datacenter footprint by nearly 70%.
Pros
- Migates workloads from existing infrastructure to Nutanix AHV
- Allows datacenter updates to be completed in a few simple clicks, administrators get some of those nights and weekends back
- Products are intuitive and training is easily available and affordable
Cons
- Reporting, where it has improved, can still be expanded upon
- Vendor validated designs need to be expanded, this is not a Nutanix AHV issue
