Nutanix consists of two groups. Citrix fanboys who actually have no other skills. They only know how to sell VDI
The other group thinks Citrix s---s. They don’t like to work with a legacy mindset Florida company.
Both groups only care about the stock price.
The CEO is an ego maniac who threw his co-founders out of the board when the company was growing fast. Now he is all about empathy.
Citrix s---s but nutanix is no different. It’s all greed and stock price.
Nutanix cloud. Xi. Shipping in 2017. Last time I checked it’s still in beta.
Over promise and under deliver.
Nutanix thinks it can do anything but success is a lousy teacher. They will fall flat on their face.
Citrix doesn't care about Nutanix. Most of the focus is on cloud (MSFT, AWS, Google) and big HW vendors (HP. IBM, Cisco). Lot of the recent - "we love nutanix" tweets are happening because it's clear that Nutanix will enter the market.
Nutanix is struggling — stock price means they have to grow at 40% every year.
They have to buy companies to grow fast.
Although VDI vendors are not cheap. They are all 200+ right now.
Nothing announced. Troll. Get a life.
Don’t worry. We will file a lawsuit against Frame also.
INNOVATION tweets are hilarious!
Drinking koolaid is one thing. Claiming breakthrough syngergy announcements is hilarious!
"They don’t know Citrix Cloud from Google Cloud."
'We do not have a cloud. their called Amazon AWS and MS Azure'
That's the point. Many people at Citrix think that Citrix Cloud is like AWS, Azure and GCP. They don't know what Citrix Cloud really is. They don't know what cloud is.
"They don’t know Citrix Cloud from Google Cloud."
We do not have a cloud. their called Amazon AWS and MS Azure
Companies like Nutanix don’t do exclusive deals. They can sell Citrix and others at the same time. Citrix depends on that revenue from Nutanix. What are Citrix going to do if Nutanix starts sellling something else as well?
Nutanix makes 30% revenue from Citrix. Even if they lose 100’s of deals to Vmware, they still are a good partner and dependent on Citrix. Nutanix execs are known to be bold so you can never guess what they will do!!!
Microsoft on the other hand can completely destroy Citrix by adding another 100 people in the RD team and offering a cheaper service on Azure. What if Microsoft buys Frame? Didn’t Microsoft invest in Frame?
Most people in Citrix corporate marketing just heard of cloud yesterday. They don’t know Citrix Cloud from Google Cloud. They don’t know that cloud emerged as a concept ten years ago. Their last job wasn’t even in tech. Citrix has people who haven’t even heard of a data center writing fluff pieces about the journey to the cloud that they expect to influence networking industry veterans. Most of Citrix marketing is now being done by people who have never worked for a Silicon Valley tech company. Anybody with any real experience is either gone or trying to get gone as fast as they can.
Nutanix could easily go to market with a preinstalled and certified solution using Frame or something similar and have a simple to deploy offer. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing this. They compete with EMC and VMware. They are not worried about what Citrix will think about this.
Jesse Cohn is the only winner!
Fake news. Nutanix doesn’t have the cojones to piss of Citrix
Workspot makes more sense. Maybe that’s why they got the lawsuit from citrix
Nutanix is buying Frame. It’s going to be a complete solution from nutanix. No more dependence on Citrix and losing deals to VMWARE.
Citrix can continue to build complicated solutions and ignore the market demand. And file lawsuits when it fails to compete with startups!
I hope to hear a lot of fake cloudwins next week at Synergy!
Nutanix has successfully lured a number of talented ex-Citrix employees with more money, equity, and a better future. I suspect Nutanix could take away some market share from Citrix if it wanted to.
Multiple generations of leadership at Citrix have wasted so much opportunity over the years. Naively ceding new market opportunities to Microsoft...revolving-door ELT...misplaced faith in a long list of Silicon Valley poseurs..so many expensive and failed acquisitions...indiscipline with "science experiments" in unrelated market spaces...inability to diversify from legacy go-to-market approaches...the list goes on and on...
Citrix is the Rube Goldberg machine that only consultants can manage. It has become a fortune 100 tool and a nightmare for smaller deployments
For the long tail of the market, simple products will do a much better job. Nutanix hypervisor and a simple VDI solution will beat Citrix crapvisor and homoungous zenpapa in no time
Chilli cookers run Silicon Valley. Citrix is close offices here so it’s clear where the innovation is coming from
I heard “bucket challenge” has finally arrived in Florida. Congrats!
we'll sue those chili cookers too!
aint no body safe up in here - hide yo wife, hide yo kids, because Citrix is suing everybody up in here
In a chili cook-off or a corporate run?
