Hear What Customers Are Saying
“We selected Nutanix to help us modernize our IT infrastructure from our VMware legacy environment which no longer supported our growing needs, especially in light of increasing cost. The Nutanix Cloud Platform with AHV will help simplify operations, increase efficiency and adopt greater automation to better support our customers.”
“When we did the cost analysis for going with Nutanix AHV, it was far better than VMware and the hypervisor stuff we had in the past.”
“By migrating to Nutanix, we can start to leverage the potential of IT to enhance educational outcomes for students, giving them tools they need to be at their best while still staying on the right side of our budget.”
“Nutanix’s 1-click conversion from VMware ESXi to AHV makes it easy to migrate hypervisors.”
“Transitioning to Nutanix from VMware simplifies our operations, as we are able to seamlessly manage our application workloads across a hybrid cloud architecture under a single, unified platform.”
“The fact that we could continue to use VMware alongside the Nutanix AHV hypervisor was a real bonus. Not only did it enable us to migrate existing workloads and get them working straight away, but check out AHV and use that where appropriate.”
“Nutanix has been our first step in a hybrid multicloud journey, and with Nutanix Cloud Clusters, we are moving workloads from on-premises to cloud and vice versa effortlessly.”
