Good management interface and reporting, helped us to consolidate our various file shares
What is our primary use case?
Our file share infrastructure was all messed up with several different solutions in place such as; Windows file servers, Hitachi NAS devices, Linux NFS repositories, and DFS. We were looking for a solution to replace and consolidate all our file share repositories in one single place and the Nutanix Files was the chosen solution. We are very happy with it, as we were able to migrate hundreds of Windows file shares, Linux NFS, and the files seating on the Hitachi NAS to Nutanix with almost zero impact.Pros and Cons
- "The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
- "The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
What other advice do I have?
In summary, we have been using Nutanix Files for more than one year and we are very happy with it. We hope Nutanix can add the FTP protocol to the Nutanix Files so we can also leverage all of the great AOS capabilities in the FTP environment, as well.

Nutanix Files is flexible in terms of being able to scale it. If you are scaling out then you have to expand your file server, but it is an easy process. We have approximately 300…Product Categories
