I can add shelves and storage and SSD drives or spinning drives to the system, while it's running. I can bring all that in and rebalance the load across the new disks or, if we take disks away, rebalance the load across what's remaining, and it just works."

"The administration and support (on the way that they delivered) was a little bit slow."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable."
"This solution could be improved if overall performance was improved and operated with a higher speed and supported a higher volume of RAM."
"The cost of the solution could be better."
"Dell could improve the upgrading process."
"The SC Series doesn't support NVMe storage."
"The configuration could be easier in Dell EMC SC Series."

"Compatible with third party hardware, but it's still very limited."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"It already has the capability to integrate with the major cloud providers but, in an upcoming release, if there is a possibility to have it integrate with other cloud providers like IBM, Alibaba, and other moderate-level cloud providers, that would be good."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's cloud platform management software could be improved so that I can manage my load between the cloud and on-premises."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"Make it easier to manage."
"Limits on increasing space with the inability to have or attach external storage."
