It is the battle of the titans in the virtualization world - Nutanix vs VMware. Up until recently, most were fine with running VMware vSphere in their home lab and production environments. However, with the Broadcom buyout, many organizations are seeing a 10-15x increase in their VMware pricing. Nutanix has emerged as a very desirable platform with the enterprise polish many companies are looking for to pivot from VMware. In this Nutanix vs VMware comparison, we compare both hypervisors and some of the things you should think about as we move through 2024 and beyond, including the nightmare of the Broadcom website for VMware support currently.

You mentioned that Nakivo also supports Proxmox, but it was not showing in the list of hypervisors on the second step of your introduction. Am I missing something?

I doubt that Nutanix will add support for SAN or other external storage. You could already attach it, maybe with hacks, but it is just not supported. As for the prices: Nutanix could be as expensive or even more expensier than VMware. They do not have a fixed price as far as i heard and all prices are individually calculated for each customer.

@Br0llyLSSJ Good call out here. i am hoping Nutanix doesn't take advantage of potential customers by hiking prices, albeit lower than VMware.

You can not upgrade Nutanix if you are booting off USB. Romberg to boot from an SSD!

And as long as it's not older hardware than 2 or 3 generations, and no longer on usb or standard SSD's they have to high r/w life span just for a 2gb partition that will fry an SSD every 18 months. Then lets talk pricing as of the last couple weeks.

Interested in your Nakivo comments. I was not able to find any Tutorials on it on YT. Would you be interested maybe in making some? Nakivo, if you are reading this, offer this opportunity to Brandon. Cheers.

@parl-88 Great question! I will engage them and see if they would like to do something like this. Thank you again!

VMware esx 7 and higher will not run on older CPUs. Nutanix needs Sandy Lake and newer which is a lot more reasonable,
