Comparative Analysis of Leading HCI Solutions: VMware vSAN vs. Azure Stack HCI vs. Nutanix

Abstract

HCI systems changed data center infrastructure modernization. These platforms include compute, storage, and networking. This study compares Nutanix, Azure Stack HCI, and VMware vSAN, three leading HCI solutions. As data center technology advances, efficient, scalable, and manageable infrastructure solutions are needed. HCI integrates hardware components into a single system to facilitate deployment, management, and maintenance. Each HCI solution is evaluated on architecture, performance, scalability, management ease, cost-effectiveness, and other factors. Storage policy-based administration and vSphere integration are VMware vSAN features. Azure Stack HCI offers hybrid cloud capabilities due to its flexible pricing and smooth integration with Azure services. Nutanix's software-defined HCI prioritises simplicity, scalability, and cost. Learning about VMware vSAN, Azure Stack HCI, and Nutanix can help organisations choose an HCI solution that meets their infrastructure needs, budget, and aspirations. HCI solutions will drive IT agility, efficiency, and innovation in ever-changing data centers.
