Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a lot of workloads that are latency sensitive and can run only onPremise. We were able to migrate these to Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix.

Pros

Easy to scale out
Provides high availability via multiple nodes
Storage performance at par with traditional NAS and SAN with all SSDs

Cons

The integration with Intersight can have more features
There could be more Hybrid storage option supporting both HDD and SSD

Likelihood to Recommend

When your company is already on Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix like DELL VRTX migration to the Cisco kit is going to be a breeze. However while dealing with legacy storage intensive application doing the migration with guidance from Cisco will be ideal.

Why AHV ?

Rating: 8 out of 10

February 11, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Mainly as a on prem or colo setup combined with either AHV or VMware hypervisors (customers like the AHV alternative)

Pros

Private cloud in the 500-2500 VM range
K8S on top of these
Traditional workloads on these as well
Flexibility and scalability to start reasonably small and scale up quite big

Cons

Multi site with DR and BC scenarios
Moving into AI and or specialized workloads (but this is coming soon already)

Likelihood to Recommend

All traditional on prem private cloud are really suitable for this solution, the cloud first/cloud native storyline is a bit more difficult sell.

December 4, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We hav used Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix for our remote sites and also to host VDI workloads. Infact we have used with both AHV and VMware to host these workloads.

Pros

Deployment from Intersight
Easy management

Cons

Intersight deployments can be bit tricky and room for improvements
Service profile type of deployments

Likelihood to Recommend

VDI deployments are well suited - Large number of VDI across multiple locations with consistent performance and easy management

Data centre Consolidation and cost efficiency

Doesn't work well for smaller workloads, legacy applications

Cisco Hyperconverged solution with Nutanix is a Power Pack

Rating: 8 out of 10

July 9, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix is a fully validated solution that we use to create a hyperscale solution. This solution is fully integrated and validated solution that combines Cisco's UCS (Unified Computing System) servers and network infrastructure with Nutanix's industry-leading hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software.

We use this for various departments and group to be able to use for their dynamic work loads.

Pros

Its hyper converged
one hardware platform that packs compute, network and storage
very effective for virtualization and kubernetics work loads
easy to expand with demand

Cons

solution with two different companies - support could improve
Cisco provide hardware like rack servers and blades, while Nutanix has the software
Faster solution would be include latest GPUs and DPUs

Likelihood to Recommend

Great solution that provides latest of Cisco UCS servers, Cisco Intersight and Nutanix software integration.

Effective for VMware Stack to build VMs with vCenter and moving VMs live using vMotion.

Equally effective with Kubernetics and KLS work load

Easy to add more capacity

Power footprint could be a limitation for advance AI and ML workloads.

Very happy with solution
