Download the Nutanix AHV Day-2 Health Check - SEND THE BLUEPRINT
Latency is undefeated, but complexity is what actually kills your RTO. For over a decade, VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) was the “gold standard,” but in reality, it is a brittle patchwork of Storage Replication Adapters (SRA), placeholder VMs, and hope-driven failover windows. If your storage layer doesn’t talk to your orchestration layer natively, you…
I still have nightmares about a cutover I supervised in 2018. We were moving a critical ERP cluster from ESXi to AHV. The replication bar hit 99%. The stakeholder team was on the bridge, coffee in hand, ready for the “Success” banner. And it sat there. For ten minutes. Then twenty. Then the error: “Cutover…
In the current landscape of Cloud Strategy, Nutanix AHV has transitioned from a niche alternative to the primary destination for enterprise “Broadcom Exits”. However, bridging the Complexity Gap requires moving beyond basic deployment. To build a resilient Virtualization Architecture, an architect must master the non-deterministic variables that emerge during Day-2 production life. CVM Mechanics: The…
The virtualization market has experienced a seismic shift. For fifteen years, the answer to “Which hypervisor should we use?” was almost automatically “VMware vSphere.” It was the default, the gold standard, the safe bet. Then came Broadcom. Today, Solutions Engineers (SEs) are facing an unprecedented wave of customers demanding alternatives. The questions have shifted from…
For over a decade, Nutanix’s mantra was “HCI or Death.” The philosophy was simple: storage and compute must live together in the same box to guarantee performance and simplicity. However, the post-Broadcom VMware landscape has forced a market evolution. Enterprises want the freedom to keep their expensive Storage Area Networks (SANs) while migrating away from…
Introduction: The SE’s Dilemma In the on-premises and hybrid cloud infrastructure market, there are two undisputed gravitational forces: VMware vSphere and Nutanix AOS. For a Solution Engineer (SE), being asked to compare them is inevitable. The challenge isn’t just knowing the technical specs; it’s presenting them without sounding like you have a favorite. A biased…
