We run our VMs on Nutanix Unified Storage. We were trying to reduce the data center footprint and shrink the bandwidths on the number of storage units that we were using. We also wanted to avoid having to deal with different vendors when there is an issue. We have a 700 TB environment. We use Varonis for ransomware protection. It's very expensive, but it does a very good job. Varonis monitors file pattern changes and maintains well-known dictionary sets.
My use case is quite complicated because in our society we need to know how to integrate Nutanix products and we need to understand how to integrate technical products. Nutanix is a bit more challenging to use, start, administrate, and deploy, but overall a very stable solution and quite a good tool. All of my clients are secret clients for military use or industrial use and, in all cases, we are on-premises.
