Thanks ! Nice lavahound deck , I could definitely see you hitting legendary and 4 K with it eventually <| sep |> You ' re not wrong . NutanixAcropolis or NutanixHyperV will likely fit most of the bill . You ' ll have to have Windows Licenses for the VMs anyways , so maybe you can fit the count to permit the bare metal to run HyperV too ? A single Nutanix sled can host 34 servers , which checks off the boxes for disk redundancy as well as server hardware redundancy . The issue that I have with Nutanix on the whole is storage . Sure , you get what seems like a decent amount in there , but it tends to get eaten up really quickly . If you end up getting stuck with needing a separate NAS device you ' ve lost a lot of the benefits .
