We were a medium-sized VMware client, roughly 4000 VMs. We're almost done migrating to Nutanix.

Sadly not open source, but less money towards Broadcom is a good thing overall.

Isn't nutanix licensed the same way more or less?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Was XCP-ng considered as a migration target? Would you have some feedback to share on what made it unsuitable for you? Thank you!

They have a special migration tool from VMWare: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/installation/migrate-to-xcp-ng/#-from-vmware

I can almost assure you, it was not considered.

Nutanix is a mature platform, but more importantly, they're a mature vendor, which means support contracts with SLAs.

I wasn't involved in the tender, so I don't know who initially applied and what were the specifics.
