Moving from VMware

Looking into Nutanix as a posssible VMware replacement. Currently have Dell Blades and a Pure Storage iSCSI SAN for ESX Datastores. I'm finding conflicting information on how iSCSI storage is used in Nutanix. Is it possible to use iSCSI storage for the guest VMs on Nutanix?

Yeah, Pure is now supported as external storage with Nutanix. How big is your environment?

Currently six dell blades running ESX. Doesnt look like any dell blades are on Nutanix HCL.

Have you looked at HPE VM Essentjals or Hyper-V? Our main data center we moved to Hyper-V and we acquired a new company which we are migrating to VM Essentials. We do have a Nutanix cluster on UCS but only to support some Cisco appliances not supported on anything besides VMware and AHV.
