Overall Satisfaction with Nutanix AHV
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

- Saved on datacenter footprint in co-lo

Overall market share, reputation and innovation drove us to Nutanix AHV over the other options.
