What Our Customers Think

"We use Nutanix Self-Service and Terraform to deliver an integrated experience and manage clusters, VLANs and changes," Bennett continued. "Application owners can now go in and request VMs and have them delivered more quickly than we used to, of having to go in and manually provision everything out, or run scripts or whatever in the background from one of my engineers. It's allowed us to start moving to that self-service platform for our application owners and end users."

– Robert Bennett, IT Infrastructure Manager at United Community Bank

“I launched one of the blueprints, went to get a cup of coffee thinking I was going to have a break and I came back and all the virtual machines were built and not only were they built, they were built consistently and it was a game changer for us.”

– Wade Grimes, Global Infrastructure Manager, Albemarle
