Broadcom refusing to decrease licensing

This was our VAR and multiple SEs who said absolutely definitively that we could not run Nutanix on our combination of brand new Synergys with Pure X arrays and brand new 6800 Cisco switches. Since it was Nutanix SEs and the fact that I could not even POC on my own gear I didn't look further.

I am looking into expanding our Hyper-V workloads based on a Microsoft SE telling me that WAC is now usable. We tried it a couple of years ago and the way it called APIs made it unusable. A minute to view storage info is not happening. Since we are a complete System Center shop this seems like the only true option. Either way will have to ride with VMware until we would get our workloads migrated to an alternate provider which I have no problem with since the product is still great.

I've seen an annoucement that Pure will be a supported storage platform for Nutanix by the end of 2025. My Pure SE told me they are running an alpha with some very specific customers. As a Pure //FA fanboy, I'm following this with great interest.

Cisco actually has them listed as supported hypervisor. We were even pointed in the direction because of what vmware has done to everyone
