Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix

Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix is a fully validated solution that we use to create a hyperscale solution. This solution is fully integrated and validated solution that combines Cisco's UCS (Unified Computing System) servers and network infrastructure with Nutanix's industry-leading hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software.

We use this for various departments and group to be able to use for their dynamic work loads.

Pros

  • Its hyper converged
  • one hardware platform that packs compute, network and storage
  • very effective for virtualization and kubernetics work loads
  • easy to expand with demand

Cons

  • 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
  • Compact solution that is easy to build and deploy
  • Hyper converged solution in a box. All pieces are together
  • ROI is very high and we are able to meet and exceed business objectives for compute.
Simplified Management and Operations:
Cisco Intersight and Nutanix Prism Central work together to provide a single pane of glass for managing both the physical infrastructure and the hyperconverged environment.

This reduces complexity and the need for specialized IT skills.

Automated Deployment: Zero-touch deployments are a key feature, especially for remote and edge environments.

Cisco Intersight policies allow for automated bare-metal firmware and OS installation, ensuring consistency and reducing manual errors.
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.
