I am a data center solutions architect that specifies the solution and then implements it for our customers.
90% of the time, it is deployed on their local data center and their objective is to go to the cloud. This is what they will do once their applications are brought up to speed.
They have to be more compatible.
When you are looking at Nutanix versus vSan with VMware, the operating system licenses are often difficult for those people in the mid-tier organizations that do not have access to ELAs.
They are heading in the right direction and moving to integrate everything with a hybrid cloud, and moving workloads back and forth.
Also, the scalability could be better.
I have been working with this solution for five years.
Scalability is an area that could be improved. We are looking at a maximum of 32 nodes now in a cluster, but going to 64 or 128 would be a major advantage.
There is a problem, which is the lack of an integrated price structure.
The issue comes down to affordability relative to alternatives and how they integrate with Azure, AWS, Google, as an example.
One of the interesting things that are coming to the floor is augmented reality, but I haven't seen any related discussions. It's obvious that they are waiting for devices.
Most people don't seem to understand that in order for augmented reality to become a viable entity for specific verticals, such as healthcare, manufacturing, or retail, you have to have a common database for all operational requirements. Then, you have to create extensions.
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
