"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"It allows compute and storage to operate separately, and has the ability to take SAN nodes out of production for maintenance with little effort and zero downtime."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"To receive a performance enhancement by merely clicking the one button upgrade is the true value of the platform and what I look forward to the most."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be applied at any scale."
"It has enterprise data services with consolidated storage data protection and disaster recovery. One valuable aspect is its efficiency as a robust platform. There is an ease of managing all processes. The data recovery process is remarkably fast. It’s a stable solution. The product is scalable. It provides high-speed live migration capability."
"The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of Nutanix is the performance of the storage, which is excellent. And controlling compute, storage, the network, and security all together in one box is very efficient for us. It gives us a single platform to manage our all infrastructure."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"In our country, Qatar, most of the industry isn't using too much HP. StoreVirtual doesn't move fast. It's not a popular product."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"The self-service side of the product needs to be improved. We should be able to add two-factor authentication and more security layers to it."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"They could improve the graphical user interface."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
