We sometimes appear pricey when cpmpared to a Tegile or Nimble because we provide not only storage but also compute and memory and hypervisor now as well. When compared to the entire stack that we actually replace we are usually less expensive.

Of course, upfront price is only a small part of the equation. By converging 2/3 of the stack into one our lower TCO and higher ROI are the real benefits.

Pretty much this. It is pricey, but it's actually not a terrible value. I used Nutanix before, it's a pretty sweet platform. It's complex, but not necessarily complicated to use. VDI performance on them was awesome. The dev guys really loved SQL performance on them as well. It's got a few issues here and there, but overall I'd definitely recommend it. You can use it with VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM. I haven't played with it, but the Prism interface is supposed to provide a GUI for KVM (a free hypervisor that doesnt really have any other GUI offering), so that's supposed to be a new selling point.
