Noble ShiftIf you haven’t tried Nutanix, you really really should. I’m a six year veteran and there is absolutely no way I would ever bate metal again with VMWare in spaces I didn’t have to, and that’s Prior to the Broadcom buyout.

How expensive (or cheaper) Nutanix compare to VMware
That’s a very broad question. I can say by switching I saved the firm $60,000 the 1st year out of the gate. This included purchasing the Nutanix hardware as well, to run what was at the time, a six node cluster, replacing a 6 node VMW setup (on premise).
After the 1st year we replaced the VMW setups at the remote office and the COLO. It was a no brainer. That was also close to $60k each site as well saved as well, though we had other cost considerations.
You will spend more money for competent Administration over a VMW farm in the short run unless you/your team are *nix capable. If you are a *mix/CLI house, you’re going to absolutely wet your pants with joy, possible #2 as well.
I like the idea of spending money on team member rather than VMW service. :D
Better ROI for sure.
