Easy to set up with good plugins and helpful support
The initial setup is very easy. I'd rate the ease of setup ten out of ten. It was not complex at all. The deployment itself takes about two or three hours. It doesn't take too long. Before creating a cluster, you do need to open the ports. We handle anything related to optimization. Once all the elements are ready, we can launch a cluster pretty quickly. As an admin, I take charge of all sets of clusters. To deploy a cluster, you only need two people. We had network security engineers. We also need two people to manage the solution with active Nutanix support.
