Nutanix or VMWare? VMWare Essentials Plus is a nice package, albeit like 
Microsoft's Small Business server - it's meant to work for small 
environments as a standalone cluster. We couldn't manage Essentials Plus 
with our existing vCenter.

If I'm not mistaken, the limits were 3 physical CPUs and 100 guests.

We're using VMWare's Remote Office/Back Office licensing, something I could 
see being phased out in the "new" VMWare.
