Part 1. Why Ukrainian companies should pay attention to Nutanix in 2026: a practical view

Infrastructure in 2026 – time to make strategic decisions

2025 is a watershed year for virtualization and infrastructure. Changes in VMware licensing following the Broadcom acquisition, rising prices, and companies moving to private and hybrid clouds are all forcing IT leaders to rethink their technology strategy.

In 2025, the challenge sounded almost the same in all companies: «how to build an infrastructure that is simple, reliable, scalable, and does not hit the budget»?

And what's interesting is that more and more IT managers come to the same answer: «Nutanix.»

In this context, comparing Nutanix, Proxmox and VMware has become one of the most popular queries when it comes to infrastructure upgrades. But if you carefully evaluate the capabilities of the compared platforms, it is Nutanix becomes the most rational choice for Ukrainian businesses that seek stability, flexibility, and long-term efficiency.

Interest in Nutanix is ​​growing because Nutanix solves several global IT challenges at once:

• Overburdened IT teams and staff shortages due to mobilization and war.
• High costs of maintaining outdated SAN infrastructure.
• Unforeseen changes in VMware licensing policy.
• The need of Ukrainian companies for a stable, simple and secure platform.

And Nutanix does it in an all-in-one format: compute, storage, management, backup, DR, automation all from a single Prism console.

Economic benefit is the main reason for popularity, which is difficult to ignore

Independent research data looks almost like marketing, but it is confirmed by IDC, Gartner, and Forrester.

What do the numbers from these studies show:

• Up to 62% reduction in TCO compared to traditional SAN-based solutions.
• 164% ROI from VDI projects according to Forrester, payback in less than half a year.
• 477% average ROI over five years – IDC data.

Yes, Nutanix is ​​more expensive upfront than an open-source stack. But it is a guaranteed result that will provide excellent payback over the long term by reducing operating costs, reducing complexity, and automating workflows.

IT teams love simplicity and speed

In short  fewer «moving» parts, fewer nerves.

Traditional infrastructure – servers, SAN, switches, HBAs, multi-layered administration, 4-5 different consoles.

Nutanix – single Prism console, update automation, integrated fault tolerance, built-in redundancy, self-healing mechanisms.

Often, IT managers say the same thing after implementation: «I didn't think data center management could be so easy.» And this applies not only to management, but also to the implementation and migration of the existing landscape.

Nutanix solutions from AM Integrator Group provides enterprises with the ability to quickly and securely manage their IT infrastructure, use resources efficiently, and reduce costs, while maintaining stable productivity and reliability of business processes.
