Support from the builders
The engineers who build Neverinstall Private Cloud support it 24×7, from installation through updates and troubleshooting.
Neverinstall vs Nutanix.
Nutanix licenses per physical core, with replication and encryption depending on the edition, on hardware from its compatibility list. Neverinstall Private Cloud is priced per node and runs on supported x86 and arm64 servers.
Hardware, licensing and operations.
| Nutanix | Neverinstall | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | Nutanix NX nodes, OEM platforms and qualified third-party servers from the Nutanix compatibility list. All listed platforms are x86. | Supported x86 and arm64 servers, mixed in one cluster. We check your models before the pilot. |
| Licensing | Per physical CPU core, in Starter, Pro and Ultimate editions, with 1–5-year terms. Starter clusters stop at 12 nodes. | Per node, quoted for your deployment. The full platform configuration compared here includes storage, Containers and Managed Kubernetes. Modular purchases are listed in your quote. Extra Virtual Machines add no platform charge. |
| Recovery | Snapshots in every edition. Async replication and data-at-rest encryption need Pro or above, and multi-site disaster recovery needs Ultimate. | Replication and at-rest encryption are included, with scheduled backups to an off-cluster vault and Veeam supported. |
| Cluster sizes | Standard clusters need 3 nodes. 1- and 2-node clusters are for remote sites, and 2-node clusters need an external Witness. | One node runs without high availability. Multi-node configurations need enough spare capacity and tested recovery for the failures you plan to cover. |
| Automation | v4 REST APIs with OpenAPI specifications, SDKs for Python, Java, Go and JavaScript, a Terraform provider and Ansible collections. | Console, CLI, Go SDK, first-party Terraform provider and an OpenAPI 3 API. |

Where Neverinstall differs.
Run a maintenance cycle on your hardware.
Nutanix keeps running production while the pilot runs on separate servers.
- Agree on a configuration
Send your server, disk and network models. We confirm the configuration and any changes before the pilot starts.
- Run an operations cycle
Import a workload, restore its data and maintain a node. Your administrators record performance, downtime and the tasks they performed.
- Price the same capacity
You get the pilot results and a per-node quote for the same usable capacity and recovery targets, set beside your Nutanix renewal.

Questions from Nutanix teams.
Can we reuse our servers?
Yes. Neverinstall Private Cloud runs on supported x86 and arm64 servers, and one cluster can mix both.
How do AHV Virtual Machines move?
The migration pipeline converts disks to qcow2 or raw. Guest drivers, application behavior and recovery are tested before each workload group’s cutover.
Does the node price include storage and Kubernetes?
The full platform configuration compared here includes Block, Object and File Storage, Containers and Managed Kubernetes, with no charge per TiB or per Virtual Machine. You can also buy modules separately. Your quote lists the modules included.
Can Neverinstall run offline?
Yes. Neverinstall Private Cloud supports offline installation and signed update bundles, with no license check-in.
Who supports the platform?
Neverinstall engineers support the platform 24×7, from installation through updates and troubleshooting, with response targets in your contract.
