Hyperconverged. Hypervisor-Free. Without VMware's License Tax.
Production Nutanix on dedicated infrastructure. AHV hypervisor included at no extra cost, Prism Central for one-click ops, linear scale-out as you grow. The Nutanix experience without buying, racking, or operating the hardware.
The Real Alternative to VMware.
Nutanix AHV does what vSphere does for most workloads, without the hypervisor licensing line item. Combined with Prism's operational simplicity, the total cost of ownership picture often makes Nutanix the easier business case.
AHV Hypervisor Included
No separate hypervisor license to track, audit, or renew. AHV is bundled with the Nutanix platform fee and supports the vast majority of enterprise workloads.
Linear Scale-Out
Add a node, capacity grows. Compute, memory, and storage all scale together. No SAN to upgrade separately, no storage controller bottlenecks at scale.
One-Click Everything
Upgrades, expansions, rolling reboots, health checks. Prism Central was designed by people who got tired of the operational complexity of legacy infrastructure.
All-Flash HCI Performance
Every node runs all-flash storage. No hybrid disk tiers, no spinning rust, no read-cache warmup time. Consistent latency from cold start to peak load.
The Nutanix Stack. Operated for You.
Nutanix AHV Hypervisor
Type-1 hypervisor based on KVM, hardened for enterprise. Live migration, HA, snapshots, and crash-consistent backup all work the way vSphere admins expect.
Prism Central Multi-Cluster Management
Single pane of glass across all your Nutanix clusters. Capacity planning, runtime analytics, automated remediation, and one-click upgrades.
Native AHV Networking
VLAN-aware virtual switching, microsegmentation via Flow, and software-defined networking without licensing a separate NSX-style product.
Linear-Scale HCI Storage
Distributed storage fabric runs on every node. Erasure coding, compression, and deduplication built in. N+1 redundancy across the cluster.
Nutanix Move for Migrations
VMware-to-Nutanix migrations via native tooling. Block-level transfer, agentless guest discovery, schedule-based cutover with rollback.
Optional Files, Objects, and Databases
Add Nutanix Files (SMB/NFS), Objects (S3-compatible), or Era (database lifecycle management) to your cluster when the workload demands it.
Nutanix-Operated Infrastructure. Real Engineering Depth.
Nutanix Production Operations
We run Nutanix clusters in production for customers daily. We have done the upgrades, the expansions, the cluster recoveries. Real operational experience, not certification slideware.
Tier III+ Datacenters with HCI Density
Our facilities are designed for hyperconverged density. Power, cooling, and rack capacity are sized for current and future Nutanix node footprints.
VMware and Nutanix Side by Side
We also run VMware, so we can advise on which platform fits which workload without bias. Some workloads stay on vSphere. Some belong on Nutanix. We help you decide.
Veeam-Native Backup for AHV
Veeam supports AHV natively. Backup, replication, and recovery all work the same way they do on VMware. No proprietary backup tooling required.
Workloads That Belong on Nutanix.
Nutanix is not a universal replacement for VMware. It is the right fit for specific workload profiles where AHV's operational simplicity and hypervisor-cost advantage matter most.
VMware License Refugees

Trusted by Enterprise and Mid-Market Workloads.
A leading defense and aerospace technology company moved its infrastructure and security management to IT Vortex, reducing monthly IT spend by 35 percent while boosting performance and increasing uptime.
A multi-billion-dollar multinational corporation executed a flawless headquarters relocation on IT Vortex cloud hosting, with zero downtime and zero disruption to global operations.
What People Ask Before They Sign.
AHV supports the vast majority of enterprise workloads including Windows Server, Linux, SQL Server, Oracle, SAP, Exchange, and most ISV-certified applications. Workloads that require specific VMware features like NSX advanced load balancing or specific third-party VMware integrations may need to stay on vSphere. We will assess your stack before you commit.
Nutanix Move is the native tool. It performs an agentless guest assessment, schedules block-level transfers, and cuts over with rollback capability. Our engineers run the migration, including testing and validation. Typical migrations take four to eight weeks for mid-market environments.
Yes. Many customers do exactly that. New workloads land on Nutanix while legacy workloads stay on vSphere until end-of-life or until the right migration window. Both platforms run in our datacenters and integrate at the network and backup layers.
All available. Nutanix Files provides SMB/NFS file services, Objects provides S3-compatible object storage, and Era handles database lifecycle management (provisioning, refresh, backup, clone). Add them when your workload requires it, not as a baseline.
Apples-to-apples comparison usually favors Nutanix once you factor in the absence of hypervisor licensing. The exact savings depend on your existing VMware contract structure and CPU core count. We can produce a side-by-side model from your current footprint.
Nutanix is independent. The company has its own roadmap, its own support organization, and is not affected by Broadcom corporate decisions. For organizations specifically looking to reduce VMware ecosystem dependency, that independence is a material consideration.
