Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix

Mainly as a on prem or colo setup combined with either AHV or VMware hypervisors (customers like the AHV alternative)

Pros

  • Private cloud in the 500-2500 VM range
  • K8S on top of these
  • Traditional workloads on these as well
  • Flexibility and scalability to start reasonably small and scale up quite big

Cons

  • Multi site with DR and BC scenarios
  • Moving into AI and or specialized workloads (but this is coming soon already)
  • This is difficult to see yet, but the expectation is that the hypervisor licensing can be better (cost effective) with AHV
  • The other advantage is the ease of migration (and expected cost)
It is good but we are European, so and 8 is really good a 9 or a 10 is unachievable...
