 Does Nutanix count?

 @notverypunny said in HCI vendors: software or hardware: Does Nutanix count? hahah, yes but no one would ever consider them because of aforementions @scottalanmiller Nutanix rants.

 @notverypunny said in HCI vendors: software or hardware: Does Nutanix count? Nutanix at 3 nodes is 6 figures. So it does not count.

And doesn't compete with anyone else at the same physical size. You need so much more to do the same workloads.

 Slightly off the topic but related to HCI Would people consider having a cluster at site 1 then another cluster (maybe smaller) at site 2 adequate for DR? 
 As to me that's like having a off-site server for backup?Or would you still look at another layer of backup/DR We are looking at a hardware refresh and HCI is winning thank god   . .
 (In my view Scale is top, but always has. Then HPe Simplivity 2nd)
