We were testing it at my work place, but has one major issue, they are in bed with Intel. We use QLogic on most of our boxes.

I'm in the process of evaluating storage myself. I think Nimble is probably going to be who we go with, but I am doing due diligence on Pure and Tegile as well. I think someone posted here about Nutanix not long ago and said they were pretty sweet.

Check out springpath as well. www.springpathinc.com
Performance is pretty good and you get inline dedup and compression. Also it is pure software so no need to buy nutanix appliances or other vendors appliances.
Good luck

well, I'm in the market for a full hardware refresh as well though ... I'm on board with the software defined storage trend though... Was looking at VSAN, but nutanix is pretty strong too.

The /sysadmin and /storage boards on reddit have some pretty good opinions on Nutanix, Nimble, etc.

I am actually an SE for Nutanix (so biased naturally) but I can tell you we have a really robust solution that is finding a lot of favorable reactions in the industry. If you would like to have a more in depth conversation, I would love to talk more with you. Maybe even talk a little Tigers or Saints Football at the same time :-) Please feel free to message me.

Is that that dark brown stuff you spread on bread like peanut butter?

We are all NetApp and EMC.

Have several clients that are moving to Nutanix but I think the key is whether or not they are sized properly for your use case in both server nodes and storage capacity. They're expensive.

I've heard that they're pricey as well, especially when compared to non-converged next-gen arrays like Tegile, Nimble, etc.

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.
