Nutanix provides the most efficient VDI solution, for all types of uses, and yes, in this specific case, for graphic intense usage.
I was first introduced to Nutanix at a 'Lunch & Learn' in Miami in 2013, and after a brief 15 minutes I challenged the Nutanix team for a proof of concept, as I needed an affordable but efficient solution to a project, and what I was hearing seemed impossible and improbable.
I became a convert after Nutanix passed all my evaluations, and came in below budget. Within 2 years I consolidated 3 Data Centers to 2, moved all my systems to Nutanix (VDI, DB, ERP, etc).
The Nutanix management interface had all the info in a single-HTML5 display. Today, that interface is incredibly packed with all you need to manage any environment.
Need to immediately see your VDI thresholds, or run simulations on upcoming projects, implement updates during production, see your network connections, manage change control....its all there.
I would advise, as I did, you implement a 'bake-off' as some of my clients do, get a Proof-Of-Concept' (POC) of any system you are considering, or as in this case, Nutanix & Simplivity. Evaluate the installation and the system management, review the support, and their installed base across all various types of use cases globally.
If required, please contact me at fidel@alturna-tech.com, and I can provide much more detail.
Technology today should not be an area that challenges your resources, it needs to work, pure and simple. Nutanix does just that, you install it, and you move on, its as easy as breathing.
We are currently using SimpliVity in our environment. It works well with AutoCAD as well as ESRI. We have been using it for close to two years and have not had any issues with it. SimpliVity has supported the NVidia GRID cards since deployment. We originally looked at Nutanix but they did not support it a couple of years ago.
SimpliVity has numerous advantages with its deduplication as well as its compression ratios. We are saving a huge amount of disk space for our backups and we are also able to replicate all of our VMs to another off site SimpliVity cluster so that we have a true DR that we can spin up if anything bad happens.

Objet : Seeking expertise in Hyper-Converged Infrastructure
Hi,
Can you help out a colleague with the following question about Hyper-Converged Infrastructure:
-----
In which business category do you fit the trendy hyper-converged infrastructure?
I have to provide an answer on this question ever so often to customers gauging their pace with storage market.
Looking from a business perspective [Companies are at risk of missing market opportunities and or failing to adapt to market trends].
As I sense customers readiness to adapt quickly to changes as this is a key to their success, this is becoming a legitimate question for business.
In an attempt to broadly answer to the above question. I have rather decided to submit it to experts and professionals viewpoints; to elaborate further on the business benefits SMB and Enterprise businesses are gaining from Hyper-converged.

Neither. You should give open source a serious try and should not get in to vendor lock-in.
oh, okay.
Yes - but would have to talk with Nutanix to disclose those client references. One of them is a major auto manufacturer.
I know they both have it, but I was wondering if anyone was currently using them for Autodesk/Adobe.
Yes - Nutanix has Invidia Nodes which can handle graphic intensive VDI usage. If I can be of any other help please let me know.
