Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

Pricing was really important. We have to give our customers a good reason to pay the extra bit.

Product features mean the product has to do what it says it will do, and Nutanix AOS does that. It needs to do what we need it to; otherwise, what's the point. It may not be the cheapest solution, but it certainly enables us, administrators, to do more with less.

We purchased Nutanix AOS four years ago. We purchased it mainly on their features and usability. The price of bringing Nutanix AOS into our environment four years ago was quite high but, that was not considered. It has turned out to be a great product in our environment.

Mainly the HCI and reliability aspects of the platform.

Perfect technical support!

We focus on the product's features and how easy to setup/configure, use the feature, support and train the users to use the new feature. Usability is big because the user's experience is the key. How users can grasp the new features, easy to use it is the key. Which in turn can easy the support as well.

The ability to purchase only what is needed, and to reduce the number of nodes required as the project expands, leaves customers with more savings to use for transforming their businesses. The ability to deploy and configure your cluster without any third party managing it keeps you in control of the most critical infrastructure powering your applications and data. The self-service nature of Nutanix Clusters allows for just-in-time deployment, which aligns well with most cloud consumption models.

Third-party review of structure similar to our institution helped alot.

The single most important factor has been the feature set of the Nutanix AOS providing ease of management and valuable insight into the performance of the platform. The Prism element views straight out of the box provide easy-to-consume statistics with intuitive self-explanatory settings. Added bonus is the ever improving one-click upgrades which supports ESXi and AHV hypervisor patching and upgrades. New Lifecycle management feature also provides easy to use firmware upgrades for the entire platform.

A combination of functionality, performance, growth potential and projection.

Product usability - we changed from being entirely VMware centric with a support team all well versed in that technology over the using Nutanix. Something we were all new to at the time.

The product is very easy to get to grips with and allows a gentle learning curve.

Nutanix provides a very in-depth KB and lots of training materials on Nutanix University to ease that process through.

Differentiator is Unique product features

As an educational institution, we are always looking for the best value. Nutanix AOS provided us with new technology at an affordable price. Additionally, we were looking for something that required a little less time to support since we are a small IT department supporting way too many customers.

Renewal of technology towards a software-defined data center and a hyper-converged infrastructure

In the beginning it was not cost as our former system was reaching capacity. We expected to pay more for a superior product and were quite shocked at the low price. I actually did not believe the quote at first. Nutanix AOS has more features and is much easier to operate.

Most important factors were the product features that were presented to us. Its VM-level replication (using Protection Domains) and usage reports (oversized/struggled/bully VMs reports) completely replace a competitor's tool that is sold separately and is also very expensive.

Since the high-performance solution will be hosting business-critical applications reliability, linear scalability, performance, and brand reputation were key requirements and Nutanix [AOS] met all of the business requirements.

Stability and trusted.

we continue to expand our nutanix AOS footprint due to our proven track record with the product and the people of nutanix

I was not part of the initial discussions at my current job as to why they went and used Nutanix. For my previous job, we were looking for something that would eventually replace VMWare. At first, Nutanix was not a good replacement. But over the past three years, they have developed a product that is a legit competitor with VMWare in terms of performance, price, and simplicity.
