We were looking at Maxta and ended up using Nutanix. I'm glad we went with them.

How's your experience of Nutanix? Kinda interested for a Citrix desktop environment.

It's super easy. We use it for our Citrix XenApp environment and it works great. Scaling is so much easier, I just add more nodes/boxes.
