Tried running a Nutanix a few years ago, it really didn't compare to an HP dl380 gen8 with some SFF disks. I ran a few tests against it mostly using filebench. I imagine they might have addressed some of the performance concerns I had with it, but at the time it was over priced and not a good fit. Their support and sales was great though. Hope this helps. -Kevin
