Support for running XIQ software or appliances on Nutanix AHV hypervisor

I'm a sales engineer on the data center side and ran into this today.  Had to do a little research... 

Officially, it appears Extreme Networks doesn't support running their appliances on Nutanix AHV.  AHV is actually a derivative of Redhat KVM, so if it will run on KVM (usually a QCOW image), it will likely run on AHV, or can be configured to.  It is *supported* to run the appliances on ESX or HyperV or KVM, I believe.

My question is - If I just build a new VM on AHV with the right specs, running a compatible linux distro, can't I just install the XIQ SiteEngine and XIQ Controller apps on them and treat them well?  Is this supported?  Is the functionality the same?

Thank you for any help.
