We see that Nutanix (in green) delivers close to double the competitors throughput on the first run where the VMs run on the node they’re created on.

Test Iteration 1: Nutanix: Green | Competitor: Blue Note: The test duration isn’t a factor for Nutanix although as you will see, 5 mins is sufficient to highlight the issues with the competitors architecture. The following is a throughput Comparison between Nutanix AOS and a competitor where we deploy 1 VM per node on a 3 node cluster and perform a write operation for 5 mins, followed by a read operation for a further 5 mins. As the HCI market continues to grow and with the ever increasing number of customers successfully using HCI solutions, the more critical workloads are being migrated from legacy storage (SAN/NAS) and onto HCI.Ĭustomers are also looking for more flexible ways to deploy HCI solutions both on-prem and on bare metal in public clouds such as AWS EC2.
