Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) Reviews

In my organization, we manage the servers using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). We previously used traditional servers for the production servers. We migrated to Nutanix, with all the VMs hosted in the Nutanix environment. It a shared storage, which is effective with the cost, reducing expenses in this process.

It offers better high availability and performance due to the combination of SSD and HDD disks. When compared to systems using only HDD disks, the performance improvements are notable. Additionally, the RAM and ROM specifications are significantly higher. As a result, we can efficiently run several virtual machines (VMs) across the environment.

Regarding cybersecurity features, we configure several security policies to trigger alerts via mail to the respective team during threats or malware attacks, resolving issues as soon as possible. In the traditional environment, this would require manual settings; in Nutanix, it's mostly automated, and we can reference documented known issues on the Nutanix portal.

Nutanix has improved my organization by reducing manual maintenance and costs related to previously using Cisco blades and Dell EMC external storage. I previously worked with some environments using Cisco blade servers, and we connected external storage, like Dell storage. At that time, the annual maintenance costs and maintenance for the servers and storage boxes were significantly higher compared to Nutanix. When we made the switch to the Nutanix environment, we invested more initially, but it is a long-term investment. Over time, it has proven to be beneficial in terms of performance and availability, especially due to its redundancy features.

In my previous hyper-converged environment, we experienced data loss whenever a node failed. However, after migrating to Nutanix, we have not lost a single piece of data. This is because it offers high availability, and we can set redundancy measures to ensure safe copies are stored within the environment, making retrieval easy. Additionally, we have observed a significant improvement in VM performance compared to the previous setup.

Currently, I am managing a six-node cluster with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) and have saved 50% of the cost compared to the old environment. 

Since migrating to Nutanix, we have not lost any data despite node failures due to its high availability and redundancy factor.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS)'s best feature is that everything is inbuilt and tested in the environment once before reaching the customer. If you experience an issue, the vendor SLA is minimal compared to other products. 

The main feature is that we are using shared storage without needing any external storage box. 

One area where Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has room for improvement is in rollback capabilities. If I update, I cannot roll back to a lower version, which I feel is a major drawback.

I have been using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for three years.

It is stable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.

It is scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.

When comparing Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) with other products or vendors on the market, Nutanix has a minimal SLA for support, typically receiving a call within half an hour for P1 priority issues, with hardware failures resolved within three hours. 

Most solutions can be found on the support portal. The knowledge base articles are extremely helpful and well-updated. If I need information on the latest updates, I can check the Lifecycle Manager (LCM), where I can find most of the known issues along with their solutions. Overall, Nutanix's support is superior compared to other products.

It is currently deployed on-premises. We are in the process of migrating to Azure cloud, but the deployment is not yet complete. As of now, we are using only on-premises infrastructure.

When it comes to deployment, it is quite complex. Most of the deployment tasks require assistance from the vendor. During the migration, my old infrastructure was present in the hypervisor environment, and I needed to move to the new tenant environment. In my previous experience working with VMware, I found that the Nutanix Move software made migration much easier, allowing us to migrate with minimal downtime and more effectively than with VMware. I can compare both software based on my experience.

The configuration of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) took one day with vendor help.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) does require maintenance. When we have hardware warranty and licenses for the HA nodes, maintenance is not required, but we can renew the subscription before they expire.

In my organization, we have a team of four people working with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS).

It is very cost-effective compared to the traditional environment. With new hardware, it's a long-term investment but very effective for us.

It is mid-range in pricing. I consider it a long-term investment. If we look at traditional methods, the costs are higher due to the need to invest in multiple servers, storage systems, and switches. With Nutanix, the number of on-premises devices is reduced, which decreases maintenance costs. While I do invest more upfront in devices, the overall maintenance expenses for on-premises setups tend to increase with more devices. Nutanix allows for a limited number of nodes and a compact setup, which performs better than traditional methods. Therefore, we find the mid-range pricing to be cost-effective for our needs.

I would rate Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) a nine out of ten.

As a Partner Alliance Engineer at Nutanix, I collaborated with multiple vendors to validate their solutions within Nutanix environments, especially with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). One of the prominent use cases I focused on was Nutanix Files, which offers built-in threat detection through ICAP-based antivirus integration. This capability played a critical role in securing SMB shares by identifying and mitigating malware threats.

Nutanix Unified Storage stood out for its flexibility in supporting file, block, and object storage across diverse workloads. In my current organization, where we build deep observability and network telemetry solutions, many of our customers deploy our product within Nutanix environments, benefiting from its performance, security, and integration readiness.

In my previous role, Nutanix Unified Storage delivered significant performance improvements. I was directly involved in performance benchmarking and observed consistently low latency, even under heavy data loads.

Security-wise, Nutanix Files’ ICAP integration provided real-time virus detection, ransomware prevention, and options for automated file quarantine or deletion. Data Lens, another key feature, offered a consolidated dashboard to monitor security events, access patterns, and threat alerts—bringing transparency and control to data governance.

At my current organization, Nutanix continues to be an essential platform. Our product complements the Nutanix stack well, and the overall experience has been smooth and well-supported. Nutanix’s robust documentation and responsive support have made it easy to operate and integrate.

Some of the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage include:

User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive UI simplifies management, making it easy for both new and experienced users to navigate and operate the environment without extensive training.

Integrated Security: Built-in ICAP support and Data Lens for threat visibility elevate the platform’s security capabilities.

Multi-Protocol Support: Seamless handling of file (NFS/SMB), block (iSCSI), and object (S3-compatible) storage from a single platform enhances operational efficiency.

Scalability & Flexibility: Its ability to scale horizontally and support diverse workloads—on-premises or in hybrid cloud—makes it future-ready.

Nutanix Unified Storage is already a robust and forward-thinking platform. That said, one area for potential improvement is pricing. While it offers great value through its features and support, more flexible pricing models could make it accessible to a broader customer base, especially in emerging markets.

I worked extensively with Nutanix Unified Storage during my tenure at Nutanix until 2023. In my current organization, I continue to engage with Nutanix environments based on customer requirements, though not as frequently. However, the platform remains a key part of our supported ecosystem.

In my hands-on experience, the solution has proven highly stable across various use cases. I have not encountered major outages or issues, and the system has handled production loads gracefully. I would rate its stability a 9 out of 10.

Scalability is one of Nutanix’s core strengths. Unified Storage supports seamless scale-out as business needs grow, whether in a single site or across multiple data centers. I rate its scalability a perfect 10 out of 10.

They are awesome. I would rate their support a nine out of ten because they excel in their support efforts.

Positive

The initial deployment of Nutanix Unified Storage is straightforward. Whether deploying on Nutanix hardware, on-prem infrastructure, or hybrid cloud environments, the process is intuitive.

For newcomers, setup may take about a week to complete and understand fully. For experienced users, it can be completed in a day or two, assuming foundational networking is already in place.

Nutanix solutions are often perceived as premium-priced, but they deliver substantial ROI in terms of performance, reliability, and ease of use. Organizations should evaluate the TCO holistically, factoring in reduced operational overhead and faster time-to-value. It’s also advisable to engage early with the Nutanix team to explore bundled offerings and licensing flexibility.

I highly recommend Nutanix Unified Storage for any organization looking to build or modernize their storage infrastructure, especially within a hyperconverged environment. The combination of security, performance, simplicity, and integrated features makes it a compelling choice. Nutanix continues to innovate with every release, and their ongoing support is commendable.If I were to rate the solution, I would give it a solid 10 out of 10 for overall value.

My main use case for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is to move file servers from Windows file server VMs to the Nutanix Files.

It's a centralized place for management. With all our virtual machines and Kubernetes in there, it's a single place to manage all of our resources, instead of having to jump around to different places. These features benefit my company by helping us resolve issues if we have any. Being familiar with the platforms, we know where to check for alerts or errors. Support is the same. We go to the same place for everything. 

I haven't directly worked with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) enough to suggest improvements. A centralized file share permissions console might be useful for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). Getting in and directly managing permissions instead of using the snap-in from Windows itself might be something to consider, but that's a small thing.

I have been using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for about six months.

I assess the stability and reliability of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) as good. We get alerts if something does go wrong, and if it does, we've got redundancy or some failover plan in place, so our users aren't without their data; they can always access it.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has been able to scale with the growing needs of my company. We can add or remove storage as needed.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) as a whole is fantastic. It's super easy to get hold of someone. The people I get paired with to work on tickets are always super knowledgeable. If there's something we don't understand or have questions about, they can always explain it.

Positive

Our experience was great.

We used a VAR to get the cluster initially set up for us. We then took it and installed it. We applied licensing, initially on a trial basis, and then applied the full ones later. The process was pretty smooth.

I have seen a return on investment in terms of ease of use and manageability. It's beneficial to bring storage to a platform that we were already in every day.

I'm sure there's a cost component to it. It's never something I worry about, but I'm sure it's there. By being able to use the storage-focused Nutanix hardware, we can get that cost-effective advantage. I would assume Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has helped to reduce the total cost of ownership by 25%, but I'm not certain.

It's competitive and attractive for moving things to it and then prioritizing those newly freed up resources for something else.

We considered sticking with our regular virtual machines running Windows Server 2022 as a file server. We're trying to get more integrated into Nutanix and create a single pane of management, so going with Nutanix was something that would leverage it and build the ecosystem.

With Nutanix Unified Storage, we don't have to manage the Windows operating system. We can just have it run on Nutanix that we already have or have already purchased. It just runs it directly instead of having to manage Windows updates or security concerns with Windows itself.

My impression of the cybersecurity features of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) when dealing with unstructured data, such as ransomware threats, is positive. If we can integrate with backups and some of the integrated Nutanix data protection policies and things, that's a plus for us. We've got an external backup solution that I don't know if we've used for Files yet. 

I would rate Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) a ten out of ten. It's pretty good, and there are no issues. We haven't been able to get in there and explore it enough. We don't find anything missing in it.

My total experience for data-intensive workloads, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in a hybrid cloud environment, is over eight years. I have worked six to seven years on hybrid hypervisors and the hybrid cloud, delivering multiple projects in the cloud, including virtualization platforms.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is software-defined storage that consolidates file, object, and block storage into a single platform. It is a very beneficial solution with advanced features. The platform runs natively on the Nutanix AHV or external environment and simplifies storage management while delivering performance, scalability, redundancy, and resiliency.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) offers data protection and availability features, including built-in replication, snapshot, erasure coding, and RF2, RF3 for data resilience, along with integration with Nutanix data protection and disaster recovery solutions.

One of the best features of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is the ability to deliver file, object, and block storage from a single unified storage platform, along with native integration into the Nutanix Prism for centralized and simplified management. This eliminates the need for separate storage, simplifying administration and allowing seamless scalability. The software-defined nature of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) enables flexible deployment on-premises, at the edge, or in the cloud, making it ideal for hybrid environments.

The cybersecurity features are used for protecting unstructured data against threats such as ransomware.

I have five years experience with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), and I have been working with it for five to six years.

When using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for five years, the TCO can reduce by 30 to 40 percent. Using Nutanix for four years, the return on investment would be one crore in savings compared to the traditional data center TCO. When using a traditional 3-tier data center, the TCO for one crore over five years may apply. Nutanix provides a TCO ROI calculator on its website, which helps customers estimate cost savings compared to traditional infrastructure.

Data Lens uses SaaS (software as a service) and is one of the best features of the Nutanix Cloud platform. It is used for file analytics and governance, particularly for unstructured data stored in Nutanix files or objects.

Hyperconvergence plays a role in assessing whether the solution has reduced total cost of ownership. In TCO, Nutanix could reduce costs by 30 to 60 percent, depending on the use cases and scale. I find it to be cost-effective.

I assess Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for unstructured data management, and although we don't normally use it for audio and video, we use it for medical images. We are a health care company, and for that, we'll compare to traditional NAS and SAN that we used to use in the past; we find similar, if not better, performance.

I assess Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for unifying my organization's block, file, and object storage as it gives me centralized management capability, allowing me to know which different branch offices are utilizing how much capacity and where all my data is, along with what is critical, providing that overall single pane of glass view.

From different locations, Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) helps my organization manage the storage through Prism Central, which is their management console; with that, we are able to manage the entire estate using a single console.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is used in an environment that spans multiple locations, with around forty-three sites across the globe.

The most effective features of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for us are about making multiple copies of our data across hardware nodes, ensuring that if there is a hardware failure, we still don't lose our data, which I think is the most important. Also, they have a file solution that is good for file shares, and that is of value to us.

The switch from solutions such as IBM to Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) was driven by the need for different skill sets for a separate storage team and separate compute team. Maintaining these old devices was getting prohibitively high, so consolidating everything onto Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) made sense and allowed one set of Nutanix engineers to manage the entire estate.

For future updates, I think Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) should look at features similar to what ONTAP of NetApp is doing, such as tiering to the public cloud. If my data is getting stale and old, I need them to keep it on-premise, but I could also probably tier it to cheaper storage on cloud, maybe archival storage on the public cloud.

I have been using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for over four years now.

I consider Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) to be a stable solution, as I have never experienced major outages.

My impressions about the scalability of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) are that it is very scalable, allowing us to keep adding nodes to the cluster, which it simply recognizes.

In the future, I plan to expand the number of users and devices for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). While users may not grow, the amount of data our factories generate keeps increasing, necessitating the expansion of these nodes.

I find Nutanix support service to be very responsive. When we have feature requests, it may take longer for delivery, but for incidents or problems, they are able to quickly resolve them.

Positive

Before choosing Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), I evaluated options such as Cisco HyperFlex, but unfortunately, that product has been announced as end of life.

The initial deployment of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) was straightforward.

We managed to deploy Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) globally within a matter of six months.

Our implementation strategy for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) involved creating a parallel environment, keeping the data in sync, and then taking an appropriate downtime window for the cutover to Nutanix.

In deploying this product within my organization, there were about eight members from the partner organization responsible, including project managers, engineers, and administrators; it was a mix.

After implementing Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), I observe a return on investment, particularly since it was a unique case of exiting old hardware, with immediate savings given the high maintenance costs we were previously paying.

My advice for those wanting to implement Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) in their organization is to ensure they have a good implementation partner and that licenses are well negotiated for a good price, as that is the best way forward. My overall rating for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) would be nine out of ten, as I have no complaints.

The main use case for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is for storage.

The features I appreciate the most about Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) are the compatibility with the market. My clients express satisfaction with the environment and the product. 

The efficiency and the product are very good. It's a fast product with no latency. The facility to use Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) benefits our company greatly, as both ourselves and the end client find it to be a wonderful product.

My experience with using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for data-intensive workloads in a hybrid cloud environment is limited as I don't have a hybrid environment. For massive storage, this process is normal. All storage has some latency; when changing from old storage to new storage, you have this little latency, however, it's fast, though I really can't compare with another product.

My impression of the cybersecurity features of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) when dealing with unstructured data such as ransomware threats is good. I normally use additional prevention software and backup services to protect data from loss or ransomware threats to avoid any future problems.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) helps my clients reduce their total cost of ownership as it's a good product for this; the zero-cost licensing is a great part. The customer appreciates that it's zero cost, and in reality, it's really good.

I do not know if Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) can potentially reduce in costs. Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) itself is satisfactory; I don't have any comments about improvements. 

There is potential to push this product more since it's not common in the market. They could increase their marketing efforts. 

I have been using or have experience with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for maybe a half year or one year ago.

The stability and reliability of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) are very good. We do not have the necessity to increase the product, but I see the performance is satisfactory.

I do not know at the moment how Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) scales with the growing needs of a company. All my clients have this product just for file server or similar purposes, and we do not need to scale this part.

Customer service and technical support are great. We work with the partnership here with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). We always have good attention, and when I raise a ticket or just a question, I get a quick answer. I would give the customer service and technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

I work with other solutions such as the Acropolis or the hypervisor, and this part is more for trying to migrate to VMware Nutanix and trying to improve the Supermicro servers.

I can't fully assess the return on investment when using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) from a technician perspective. I can confirm there is a good impact for the investment and total cost.

The pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) are amazing, in my view.

There are some differences between VMware and Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS); the principal idea of the VMs or stretches is similar, but we can do other things. We can examine the different principles for licensing, and the prices are interesting; the compatibility with the hosts or devices is also interesting.

I am not using the Data Lens high-cost feature of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS).

I rate Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) a nine out of ten.

My main use case for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is for files, specifically file analytics. We're looking to do file stores, either SMB or NFS shares.

We don't run any AI or ML workloads.

With File analytics, we have granular visibility. We are able to keep an eye and see the usage of users using File services. We can use File analytics to see which files are accessed more frequently, or if we have someone who's potentially exfiltrating files. We can see which files are being accessed, and if we did have some sort of data exfiltration going on, we would have the introspection to see that.

We transitioned from a three-tier architecture to Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). With the Files offering out of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), we were able to migrate those shares with a smaller footprint. We didn't have to create a bunch of Windows file servers and reset everything. We could just migrate our current environment, and that migration has been very nice for us. If we were doing it currently with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) Files, the Move functionality is built in. Five years ago, I had to do scripting. There are certainly time savings with the Move feature. Using the scripting method that I worked on required finding the right times for particular groups and all the coordination. I needed to make sure everything was right.

Five years ago, the integration and the provisioning setup for NFS were not automatic. That has been improved greatly in the latest release or the 5.x releases. There have been many great improvements. 

Pain points are just in the management and understanding of how the functions work. As far as updating and day-to-day operations, if my staff is properly trained and we have those proper training sessions, we don't have that many issues. There can be more educational resources from their side.

I have been using or working with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for five years now.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is very stable and very reliable, running multiple virtual machines or virtual appliances with unstructured files. It's very reliable.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) scales effectively with our growing needs. We just add to the cluster.

Customer support for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is top-notch. They're very knowledgeable.

Positive

Prior to adopting Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), we were using another solution, specifically NetApp and a three-tier architecture.

It's an easy, quick process.

We had some training. Through Nutanix University, I have attended good learning sessions. We have partnered with Nutanix to have some education sessions, and Nutanix also throws great events.

For new users, the ROI would be in terms of time savings through the File analytics of how the data is being used, as well as with the migration aspect. If we were using a more current version of Move, those migration aspects would have taken less time. So, there could have been potential time savings for current users. 

I assume Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has helped reduce our total cost of ownership.

We considered other solutions, such as using Windows distributed file systems and file shares, and maybe looking into some other sort of NFS or SMB sharing.

The negative aspect of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) at the time of implementation was provisioning. That's something that's been greatly improved in the last five years. A positive aspect of comparing Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) to Microsoft would be that it has lower licensing costs.

The advice I would give to other companies considering Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is to make a good implementation plan and also ensure good communication with users, including file users and accounting users. 

My overall rating for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is a nine out of ten. Five years ago, it would have been at an eight, but today, I would rate it a nine since we don't use it for anything other than file shares.

Our use case for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is basically for virtual machines, so all of the users' virtual machines are hosted on our Nutanix currently.

The best features of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) include redundancy, and there are many more features, with NetApp being one of the best. What makes Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) stand out are the support and customization capabilities.

Areas for improvement in Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) include more redundancy to ensure no data loss, and balancing the workloads is very important to maintain managed workloads throughout the year.

I have been using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for around two point five, almost two point seven years now.

I rate the stability of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) between nine to ten, as it remains stable throughout the year.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is scalable.

The technical support for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) deserves a rating of ten.

Positive

Currently, since it's on-prem right now, we have twenty plus users working with the solution.

In terms of time and resources savings with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), it saves about 50% for the cloud environment and 70 to 80% for on-prem since everything is manual.

The pricing of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) can be quite high for higher utilization scenarios, but it may become cost-efficient if we can bring more on-prem data into the cloud. Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is cost-efficient when moving to the cloud, as it's in the hybrid model that it can either be cost-effective or not optimal as on-prem.

The performance of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is pretty much satisfactory, but I do not have much visibility on it since it is not just the storage that I've worked in. I am not using the Data Lens high-cost feature. There are a few technologies that we can incorporate with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) to maintain high-quality data for storage, but I'm currently unable to recall them.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) requires maintenance, including scheduled hardware replacements in case of outages or drive failures. The system requires regular maintenance just any other system to ensure security and performance. The duration of maintenance depends on the data that the storage has.

I would recommend Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) because of its data redundancy and security features. I rate Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) nine point five to ten, as it's easy to manage, scalable, has great performance, and includes advanced features.

We are using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for file storage.

We also use NetApp storage and Synology storage in my current organization, but for the file server, we are using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). We can create a shared folder on Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), and from that, we can provide access to the server. The access to that file storage shared folder is very good compared to other storage. The storage access speed is very fast for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS).

For AI and ML workloads, we are not using that yet because my senior team is working on those types of projects. They will make a decision on that. We just access the folder. We can take a user request and share it with our senior team. We are also using Prism Central for connecting to that virtual machine and storage.

The policy creation and the way we provide access to the user is very simple in the Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS).

We can share the NFS and SMB file shares. We can also connect the shared folders using iSCSI on the server. We can connect S3 compatible APIs on that Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS).

For implementing Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), we can provide the virtual machines. We have created the virtual machine. We have the volume, and we can share the volume through volume groups and all those features.

The best part is that we can use the volume groups there.

We need to work on reporting in Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS).

Customizing reporting needs improvement.

I have been using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for the last one and a half years.

It took months to deploy Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) in our organization because we have multiple data centers in my current organization. We need to take downtime, and then we need to move the machines from VMware to Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). It takes a considerable amount of time.

I rate the stability of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) an eight out of ten.

I rate the scalability of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) a nine out of ten because it is highly scalable.

Technical support is good, and I rate it eight out of ten.

For file server patching, we raise a ticket with support and they help us.

Positive

In six months, I completed all my training for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). I moved to another team, and I will start working on other projects also.

I still don't have higher-level access. We receive the first-phase user request and discuss it with our internal team. Then they make a decision and provide the details on how to provide access to users or how to connect the servers and shared disk.

I'm still reviewing the solution. I've only been using the storage for one and a half years and am still in the learning phase. When I open a support ticket with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), it is very easy, and documents are readily available. The only concern is that we don't have videos available on YouTube or anywhere else. We need to learn exclusively from the Nutanix sites and Nutanix University.

I will suggest Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) to my friends because it is very easy to understand. Out-of-the-box, all features are available, including storage, networking, and other capabilities.

I'm still in the learning phase and have to go through all the points, which is why I'm giving it a rating of 9 out of 10. So far, it has been very good.

My use cases for Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) are storage, Hypervisor, and critical applications.

The feature I like most about Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is the ability to optimize storage spaces.

This capability has helped my company achieve cost reductions and price improvements.

I have reduced costs by approximately between 20 and 30 percent.

Regarding Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for low-latency or heavy workloads, it helps significantly in optimizing quantities and achieving better performance with lower response times.

The biggest return on investment when using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has been better response times for applications, which applies to latencies.

I think Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) can be improved with integration with vendors other than VMware or Dell, seeking more integrations with other storage vendors.

For Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) to be a ten, I would want more interoperability with other platforms.

I have been using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for about one year.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is a stable platform and is top of the market.

Regarding scalability, Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) can reach many petabytes of storage.

The technical and customer support service is good, as we haven't had many problems. I would give their technical service a nine.

Positive

I considered VMware before choosing Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS).

The installation experience of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has been easy, performed by technicians. I don't know how to do it myself, but I understand it has been a straightforward integration.

I have been able to lower prices using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), with cost optimization of nearly 30 percent compared to what we had before.

Regarding prices, installation, and licenses, I believe they are within market range, so it is not concerning. It is necessary for them to manage these costs.

We ultimately chose Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) because integrability with other platforms was key in our decision.

The integrability extends to platforms such as Dell and VMware to make it more open.

Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has connections with other platforms, but not with all, though it is more open and has many more use cases.

I rate Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) eight out of ten.
