That’s a very broad question. I can say by switching I saved the firm $60,000 the 1st year out of the gate. This included purchasing the Nutanix hardware as well, to run what was at the time, a six node cluster, replacing a 6 node VMW setup (on premise).
After the 1st year we replaced the VMW setups at the remote office and the COLO. It was a no brainer. That was also close to $60k each site as well, though we had other cost considerations.
You will spend more money for competent Administration over a VMW farm in the short run unless you/your team are *nix capable. If you are a *n
ix/CLI house, you’re going to absolutely wet your pants with joy, possible #2 as well.

I like the idea of spending money on team member rather than VMW service. :D
Better ROI for sure.
