Nutanix and Nexus...why not Catalyst??

[chuckholley]

Hi,

So for an office that is running Nutanix (1 node and 2 node offices, depends on size) why would I use Nexus say 3k over a Catalyst 9000 series. I am not even considering Nexus 9k for these offices, these are not Data Centers, just larger offices that will have compute.

What is the advantage with Nutanix since I have been told VPC's are not recommended?  Why would I use Nexus over Catalyst, 9300's have the horse power and deep buffers...?

Thanks for the feedback

Did you have past experience with Catalyst in your office? Did the compute stations suffer any output drops?
