We liked the interface and the way we could manage and update Nutanix. We also liked that we did not have to license some of the other technologies, which reduced costs. So, it just seemed easier to manage, took less time for our systems administrator, and cut down on some of our costs.

IDC conducted research that explored the value and benefits of using Nutanix Unified Storage to manage file- and object-based storage operations. The project included interviews with Nutanix customers who were using Nutanix Unified Storage for both file and object services. Interviewed managers all had experience with and knowledge about its benefits and were asked a variety of quantitative and qualitative questions about its impacts on their IT/storage operations, core businesses, and costs.
