We are strongly encouraged by what we see from Nutanix, especially considering the other costs associated with VMWare, like compute and storage - the Nutanix costs are in line with or less than VMWare. This was especially true for us as the hardware and SAN infrastructure for VMWare was aging and in need of replacement over the next year or so. The easy migration claims appear to be true as well. Per our CIO, we will never spend another dollar with Broadcom (which they don't care about) when our current contract expires. We anticipate signing with Nutanix in the spring of 2026 or sooner.

We considered staying with VMWare, OpenShift, Azure Stack, Nutanix, Hyper-V, and Oracle virtualization. Based on previous experiences, Gartner conversations and presentations, and various other things, we chose Nutanix.
