          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)

                That is super common.

                Doing that setup with a Scale cluster currently, in fact.

                  A DR site is not the same as a backup. Generally those things are different.
