Offers good performance, efficiency, and network
There is also a way in the tool for retaining customers' favorites, but it is not available natively. When you log in to your desktop, on the desktop or laptop that you are working on, you have your favorites, you have your document repository, like your documents, your personal documents that you have on your computer. I saw that there was no native way of retaining those in a non-persistent desktop. The end-user has to perform dual authentication. One is for AWS authentication, and the other used to be for Active Directory, so it is a little problematic for the end users, as it is a double work for them. I don't know if the tool has lately dealt with the area of dual authentication or not.

A stable solution that is easy to install, manage, and upgrade
Nutanix Frame has significantly improved our desktop deployment cycles. There is a box specifically for desktop and VDI purposes, and its performance is really amazing. The most important thing is that the solution's implementation is very easy. Nutanix Frame is amazing for IOPS, and you cannot compare it with traditional architecture. Initially, we found some compatibility issues because Nutanix has its own hypervisor, which was incompatible with many backup software. Now, all the software and backup software support Nutanix, and there's no issue in the market. Nutanix Frame is a highly secured solution because, by default, the box comes with encryption. Whatever hard drives you have is already encrypted. I had cases with some customers where the environment was compromised, but nothing happened to the solution. The solution's deployment model is based on the requirement and compliance issues. Nutanix Frame can be deployed on-premises or on the cloud based on the customer's requirement. You can also have the solution in the cloud with a single license. You don't need a separate license to deploy it on the cloud. We have implemented the solution in the government, private, and banking sectors. Choosing Nutanix Frame depends on your business priority, customer requirement, size of the environment, and current investment. They can go with additional architecture if they have invested enough with the current storage. If they plan to do the tech refresh for the storage in the future, I suggest going with Nutanix Frame. It will make their life easy in terms of management and compliance. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
