Transitioning from VMware to Nutanix

10 Considerations for Choosing a High Availability Solution in a Nutanix Environment

If you’re planning a move from VMware to Nutanix, making sure your critical applications stay up and running should be at the top of your list. While Nutanix offers great benefits like simplified management and better performance, its built-in high availability only covers the virtual machine—not the applications themselves. This paper shares ten key insights to help you plan ahead and avoid downtime during and after your migration. You’ll get practical guidance on choosing the right clustering solutions for both Windows and Linux, how to handle shared storage in Nutanix, and what to consider if you’re running a mix of operating systems. Whether you’re moving to Nutanix AHV, or managing hybrid environments, learn how to simplify your HA strategy, reduce risk, and keep your most important systems protected.
