Does Nutanix really have some tech of real interest?
They were able to create a GUI for KVM.
Not sure why no one else has one!
You'd think RedHat would have a GUI for KVM.Gotcha. Now I see what you mean.
We need an "XO" for KVM
I think we really just need a coder who has some spare time. Not sure I'd be up to the task myself, but it would be an interesting project. Too bad @QuixoticJeremy is already SUPER busy with something else.
lol sorry guys! Afraid super busy is the understatement of the century for me at the time being haha.

This stuff worries me significantly in storage vendors...But Nutanix? That's a vendor that could close its doors any day. It's just bleeding cash, has no hope of investment...
Where'd you hear that from??
They've lost over 500 million dollars, and are not public so they can't raise VC cash.
well over 100 million lost on last quarter. -

Hopefully, before they shut the doors maybe they'll "open source" their KVM + HTML5 GUI !

Prism is nice

Will the Starwind version be as nice as Prism?

You can get a basic understanding of how it will look like here:

@kooler HTML5 GUI's you say?
Very nice!!!

I don't believe there is anything to stop a private company from getting more VC cash. For some reason there are billions of dollars to burn in the VC and Hedge fund area. Take a look at Uber. Billions burned and the continue on and on raising more money after more money.
I don't know how these companies with no secure plan to make money continue to get millions? Can someone please enlighten me.

I use Kimchi for my KVM hosts. It is really nice.

These companies are past this point, there is a way to keep growing with VC money and a way not to. These are companies with no financial plans to sell to VCs and that have old debts to settle. It's not like an Uber where they are burning high but growing and have VCs that think it is a good idea to continue.
I think he had a typo though, as these companies are public and that is the real issue - VCs only deal with private.

A secure plan gets a bank loan. A risky plan goes to venture capital. It's a gamble. That's how investing works. This is how Google and Amazon got so big.

I get that they gamble. I am an investor but the mentality to throw good money after bad doesn't make sense to me. Initial stages (GOOGL, AMZN, FB, NFLX, etc) and a few years I understand. Companies going on 10+ years, burn immense amounts of cash, high debt and everyone is paid in stock options are the ones I cannot wrap my head around. Good money after bad IMHO.

Depends. Ones like Nutanix with zero plan, that makes no sense and that's why we are concerned here. Others, like Amazon, that are obviously and publicly trading profits today for market growth, but could be profitable at any moment if they wanted to be make total sense.
