“We looked at a number of HCI products, some of which were just starting to support Hyper-V, but the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud was the only platform we felt comfortable with. It was also the only one able to offer us a tried and trusted solution, fully certified to work with the Microsoft hypervisor.”
