We looked at Nutanix and fell over when we saw the price to do all the hyperconverged stuff.  So we stuck with ESXi on 2 servers -- with a shared SAN backend.  We would just migrate the VMs to the secondary server manually if we had to.

So, by "small enterprise," how small do you mean?  The company I was working for had about 40 employees and could not justify the expense of Nutanix.
