The second one was a licensing issue because when I switched from the SMB package to another package, I had to change the way of licensing, and that was horrendous.

You do not need to purchase fully populated or maxed-out boxes on day one; instead, you can start with half-populated boxes and expand as your needs grow, adding disks as necessary.

Room For Improvement

Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure needs improvements in setup cost, storage, integration, compatibility, networking, oversight, and pricing transparency for competitiveness.

The Tintri VMstore T7000 requires better integration, cloud support, and enhancements in capacity, interface, pricing, and third-party updates.

We hope Nutanix can integrate inside our current license module.

Assistant Manager at Isuzu Hicom Malaysia Sdn Bhd

I would suggest that Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) should develop their own P2V (physical to VM) tools instead of requiring users to rely on third-party solutions.

They should add AI features in the future.

JUNGKEUM SHIN

Tintri could improve by ensuring shorter times for support and compatibility when there are new releases from partners like VMware or Microsoft.

VMWare & Tintri Storage Solutions Evangelist at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees

Maybe some sort of spreadsheet or visual tool would help. It could show the amount of data and servers we have, guide us on which particular build to choose, and estimate costs.

At first, it is cheaper than cloud services, so the cost is a major benefit.

JUNGKEUM SHIN

Manager at Seoul Institute of the Arts

It is pretty costly as all IT investments in infrastructure are, but I think it is cost-efficient because you do not have to put so many manpower hours into administration and configuration.

Sven Canerén

CTO at Intraservice/City of G̦teborg

While it might seem expensive per gigabyte initially, the practical capacity and the reduced need for additional backup and storage personnel make it fairly priced.

Featured Reviews

Infrastructure efficiency has improved significantly with quick server provisioning, though physical to virtual migrations need a streamlined in-house tool

Head Systems Administration/Security at Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System PLC

From my experience with Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI), there is one area that needs improvement. When moving a critical infrastructure from a physical machine to Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI), we currently have to use a third-party tool to convert the physical machine to a VM. We have to use VMware converter to perform this conversion before moving it to Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI). I would suggest that Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) should develop their own P2V (physical to VM) tools instead of requiring users to rely on third-party solutions.

Vm-aware storage has simplified vmware management and delivers strong deduplication and savings

Storage And Server Farm (Ucs) Administrator at Meezan Bank Limited

There are many good features for Tintri VMstore T7000, especially its nature of understanding VMware. It is VM-aware storage, which is a very good characteristic. When any VM is moved from one host to another host, there is no way to see where it is running. It is very smooth in action. Trintri VMstore T7000 is totally autonomous. We have integrated it with our virtualization environment, so all the VMs and machines running in our environment move between one Tintri VMstore T7000 and another without requiring any manual intervention. The system can schedule resources from its own capabilities. If one Tintri VMstore T7000 becomes full, the machine will be moved to another automatically. This autonomous system is very beneficial. Nowadays, all storage comes with NVMe flash and all storage is coming with flash storages as well. Tintri VMstore T7000 is much easier to handle. We just need to integrate the whole Tintri VMstore T7000 with vCenter and all the work will be done by vCenter. If we want to check what the deduplication will be, there is a really good feature of Tintri VMstore T7000 called TGC. We can integrate all Tintri VMstore T7000 systems from one end and manage all of them from a single endpoint. The major benefit of using Tintri VMstore T7000 is its deduplication and compression ratio, which is around 4x to 5x. No other storage is giving that much ratio. This is really good and much cost-saving for the company. Administrative cost is reduced because Tintri VMstore T7000 gives us a single point where we can manage it. This is both time-saving and cost-saving.
