I have worked with it a few times. Remember you must license the entire
physical hardware, so it is a waste of money if you run anything besides
Oracle on it.

Another thing to consider is the support issues. Whenever you're running
on a platform that's not officially certified, and there is a bug or other
severe issue, Oracle may ask you to reproduce the problem on a certified
platform. Of course, this is only really relevant if you're running mission
critical stuff.

Rich,
I used Oracle (12.1) on Nutanix at a former client a couple of years ago,
and it behaves itself. We didn't see any infra-related anomalies but we
only had a couple of lightly loaded DB's on there. You have to consider
that the infrastructure is all shared, so when we were implementing it and
I was doing some extreme I/O testing I was able to slow down everything
quite severely, with response times for all of the VM's suffering. For
day-to-day workloads I don't see an issue but I'd be wary of putting a DB
on there which has significant resource requirements.
I cannot comment about the licensing for it, but it's another area to be
cautious as it doesn't hard partition.

*Subject:* Anyone using Oracle in a hyperconverged infrastructure?
Hey all,
Looking towards a hardware refresh, and one direction includes
transitioning to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), like offerings from
HPE SimpliVity and Nutanix. This would initially be for Oracle 12.1, or
hopefully 12.2.
Anyone currently running Oracle on HCI? Other than validating license
compliance, any concerns over things like performance or support?
Thanks!
Rich
