What are the odds that some company on that list will try to buy Nutanix?

Good to see Nutanix at the top. But does the crowded field imply a commodity market? Switching vendors are high. This can be considered a moat. By the same token a company will have little motivation to switch if they are already with say Dell/VMn and we know they have a huge customer base. Seems like one of the key things to watch for is how quickly Nutanix can keep adding new customers.

Rumor mill. ORCL in late stage talks with NTNX speculation.
