Joel Amate

Project Engineer at CTC

The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster. There's also a manual method for workloads that can't be migrated automatically, like Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, which might not have the required PowerShell version. In these cases, we can still migrate using data migration only, but the engineer has to do more work, like reassigning IP and MAC addresses.

Senior Infrastructure Manager, Information Technology at Pediatrix

The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is its simplicity. Nutanix Move is a seamless product. You point the solution to your VM. It runs the scripts on the VMs and runs a bunch of scripts on it. Once done on the VMware side, it powers the VM down, disconnects the mix so you don't have any conflicts on your network, and brings up the converted VM on Nutanix, and you're back to work. Depending on the size of the VM and how much data you're seeding, it might be an hour, a day, or two. After the converting piece or a minute's cutover, the solution runs the final scripts, syncs up the last data, and you're back up and running. Nutanix Move is very seamless and does not impact the business.

We can migrate our infrastructure while it is running in production. We can change the hypervisor without any downtime. The product is fully automated. We select a machine we want to move, and the system copies everything in the background and informs us when the machine is ready to move. When we click to move, the product will shut down the machine on vCenter and turn it on on Nutanix. It is 100% automated. The process can be done in the background without any downtime. The time it takes the machine to boot is the only downtime we experience. Generally, a 1TB machine might take two to three hours to move from one hypervisor to another. With Nutanix Move, we can move the machine within seconds. Everything is done while the service is available.

Valuable Features

"The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"We can change the hypervisor without any downtime."

Room for Improvement

"I think Nutanix Move could be improved by adding a way to retry failed migrations. Sometimes when seeding fails, there's no way to redo it without recreating the whole migration plan. I'd like a button to restart the process without creating a migration plan."
"When you have regular questions, like how do I do something in the tool or when you want to know when can I do anything in the product, the solution's support team can take around three to four days to give you an answer, or they may even sometimes take more time."
"We cannot use the solution to move a machine from Nutanix to other hypervisors."

Pricing

"The product is available for free."
"The tool is bundled as part of the Nutanix license."
"It is a free tool."
