They have been around for nearly 20 years. I viewed them as an also-ran until Broadcom decided they didn’t need any of us as VMware customers anymore. Now Nutanix seems like a viable path for on-prem VM workloads that need a new home for those who don’t want to part with an arm and a leg on licensing but can’t move to public cloud either. I’m not sure how much of that market Oxide can capture. Not sure Nutanix is still doing the hyperconverged hardware themselves anymore.

They have been around for a long time and were one of the first to have a hyper-converged solution where all storage in the nodes is pooled and usable by any node. They also have their own hypervisor. You can get 4 nodes per 2U so pretty dense. In the datacenter my company uses a company had dozens of Nutanix boxes sitting in the hallway for months before they finally installed them. They are pretty notoriously expensive so only really used by companies with big IT budgets.
