Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

The performance is quite good. Updating it is also just one click.

For the speed of attention, for the level of its technicians, and for the speed of resolution. The manufacturer's support has been very proactive and flexible since the creation of the cases, the follow-up, and the respective solution. On many occasions, I have had online support in less than 10 minutes of reporting the case, magnificent.

Apart from one mismatched solution, this product does what it says on the tin, and we have little to no queries/support tickets on performance.

Nutanix AOS performance is very fast. We have an all SSD environment, so whether I'm creating a new VM or restarting a VM, everything is fast. Again, the only item I wish that would be faster is when updating BIOS, BMC, etc., on nodes. It is a very easy process but just takes time.

The performance is nothing short of amazing. This is an HCI solution, and as any all-flash HCI solution is amazingly fast, Nutanix AOS fills local IO requests until its local IO is saturated before reaching out over the network. This lowers latency substantially compared to vSAN.

The performance is pretty good. Just make sure you know your workloads ahead of time and plan for some growth. You don't want to be in a position where you bought HDDs, and you really need to buy SSDs for your applications to run without issue, especially true for any database or VDI environment!

We had the opportunity to compare the ground performance of databases and files I/O. It was not as good as dedicated hardware.

It's working well, but very rarely do we have performance issues.

I haven't run any metrics as of yet, but I can tell the stability of our products and availability is higher.

Most of using experience are very good, product performance is good. But some of the pre-build VMs took a longer time to boot up. Sometimes, we transfer data from one VM to another VM, it is actually bit slower than we expected. Other than those, we do not have other challenges.

With the new Nutanix InstantOn for Citrix Cloud, you can deliver a consistent, high-quality user experience and excellent performance while also enabling predictable, linear, non-disruptive scaling to support your ongoing mobility, BYOD, and cloud initiatives. 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.

It's very fast.

AOS performance is 10/10, there has been very little in the way of lag or a negative experience. More recent updates from Nutanix provide better features and increased performance but may require additional memory allocation to CVMs.

All applications work faster and VDI performance is generally better.

Generally the performance has been very impressive. Sometimes VMs reboot so fast that I question if I have actually rebooted them.

Leap is very very fast and in my testing, I have been able to failover application/service lines to DR and have the service back online in around 7 minutes.

The only fault I have been able to find was while doing SQL-specific load testing. We've got an all-flash array in Nimble and I compared like for like testing on Nutanix disks and the Nimble always performed better. That's not to say that Nutanix was not up to scratch, just that our current SAN did perform better.

Tiering makes performance much better than the competitors

In a Nutanix AOS cluster, you have a CVM per host, which uses resources (CPU and RAM!), so when a cluster is stood up, you are already using 5-8% of your resources.

Due to the cool DFS architecture, Nutanix has good read performance for loads. In general, everything works well. We only ran into problems with very specific workloads that did not allow multithreading. It is also worth noting that loads should be tuned according to best practices for best performance, which is not always an easy task.

All the benefits of hyper-convergence and Nutanix AOS has been very reliable when there have been incidents with the hardware. The operation has not been impacted, in production schedules, it is safe to make changes of parts and even a complete node.

Nutanix AOS performance is light years ahead of HPE. We were nervous about using Nutanix AHV but it has been a vast improvement and saves on cost. Applications has been much improved and end users have commented. It has also freed up time for our Network Administrators and made their lives easier.

No secret sauce here! It has a bunch of SSDs and a very well written code to ensure that the data is always written to the localhost/local disks. The performance is very good! VMs power on in a couple of seconds.

You can definitively notice that certain applications may run faster especially if you came from a non-virtualized server environment as you can now increase system resources as and when required. Also the intelligence and reporting on Nutanix [AOS] can provide you with insight whether applications require additional resources to run optimally.

Migration from traditional topology to hyper-converged. The speed and performance during deployment and using the apps is much better and superb.

No noticeable change, other than getting us back to the use of shared storage to take advantage of VMotion capability.

I give this rating as it is not an apples to apples comparison when you move your workload from traditional separate bare metal compute, hypervisor, network, and storage onto a Nutanix hyper-converged platform. So, much of the comparison would be based on a perceived interpretation of how it should correlate.
