Techspot reported that large enterprises may also not be able to afford the price increase of VMware. The Australian company Computershare with 24,000 virtual machines may abandon VMware and turn to focus on Nutanix products.

TapTechNews note: Computershare mainly provides financial products and investor services for securities exchanges around the world. Before Broadcom acquired VMware, the company had strongly participated in the development of VMware virtualization technology.

Kevin O'Connor, the chief technology officer of Computershare, recently said that the company's IT department has been trying to use different virtual machine services to run the workload manager, including Nutanix AHV and another well-known competitor (should be VMware).

O'Connor said he recently received a call from the second manager provider, who proposed that if using its product, additional services would be required and the price would increase by 10 to 15 times, which convinced O'Connor to continue with his original plan and only use Nutanix.

Computershare is currently undergoing a large-scale IT service migration, moving 24,000 virtual machines from the other virtual machine manager to Nutanix AHV. According to O'Connor, the plan may be completed by next year and will recover the cost within a few months. The company will become stronger and more streamlined from this migration, and the cost will also be lower than before the acquisition.
