It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing.

AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis.
It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era.

We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage.

The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective.

One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era.
Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction.
It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed.
There are a lot of options for working with the database.
