My work has used Nutanix since 2012, which is expensive but has been super reliable and was a game changer when they came out years ago. You can load whatever hypervisor and we continued to use VMware for years because “industry standard”. Almost two years ago I realized we could save a ton of money if we just migrated to Acropolis HV, which is their in-house solution that just puts a fancy web interface over KVM. It has been super solid and works basically the same.
Broadcom buys VMware and I end up looking like Nostradamus. It was just lucky timing.
When we are up for renewal I am considering going a step further and moving to Proxmox on 45Drives hardware. We use them for storage and their support for open source has been amazing.
