Relentless Innovation
Nutanix created hyperconverged infrastructure years ago
because there was an urgent need for innovation within enterprise
infrastructure. IT silos, management complexity, and gross
inefficiencies were undermining the customer experience.
It was time for a paradigm shift, which is why Nutanix melded web-
scale engineering with consumer-grade design to fundamentally
transform the way organizations consume and leverage technology.

Since then we’ve redoubled our commitment to solving


pressing customer problems. In just a few years, our solution
has expanded beyond storage and compute to include
virtualization, security, networking, and multicloud
automation, making infrastructure management simple,
efficient, and cost-effective.

Read on to see how industry leaders like Ports America and


International Game Technology have built on the Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud OS to power their digital journeys.

Ports America Navigates Waves of Global
Supply Chain Disruption with Nutanix
“We’re in one of the biggest upheavals ever in terms of technology,” says Peter
Curren, Global Infrastructure Director of Ports America. “Our industry is undergoing
a huge change, applying data for better insight and decisions. You’re seeing a digital
supply chain emerge from what has been a very manual process for decades.”

Ports America was struggling to keep its multiple IT systems in line with its business
priorities. They needed to fully integrate their diverse systems and technologies to
accelerate digital transformation, improve insight and control, and free IT to focus
on creating business value.

Nutanix has helped Ports America create a more nimble organization that can
rapidly respond to changes. “The solution has enabled us to really take a lot of our
workloads from critical business systems, both locally at terminal and in centralized
locations, and respond in a much more agile way to business requirements,” says
Curren.

Curren was also very pleased with how the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS has helped
minimize any interruptions to business operations.

“The ability to rapidly resolve issues and avoid


significant delays to business processes has
been a fantastic achievement.”

Curren added that “One of the unexpected benefits we’ve seen is the fact that the
technology is so innovative and changing so quickly. The joy is we’re getting so much
rich and new functionality and features. Implementing Nutanix has really shown
the business that we are thinking like them, so when it comes to making strategic
pathways forward, we’re now part of that decision making process.”

Nutanix Gives International Game
Technology a Winning Edge
International Gaming Technology (IGT) leads its industry by developing
complete gaming systems that support business processes, streamline
operations, and personalize player experiences. IGT IT not only requires strong
performance and reliability from its infrastructure, they also need cloud-like agility
and simplicity to support customer demos, sometimes on very short notice.

“In the past, we would have to build very expensive, cumbersome solutions,
including servers, SAN, backup device, switches, and other components, then wheel
a rack into a customer environment,” says Steve Koven, Director of Global Solutions.

With the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, IGT can confidently deliver both onsite and
remote demos to compete more effectively in this fierce marketplace.

“It used to take us two to three weeks to order equipment, rack,


stack and cable it,” says Koven. “Now we can stand up the entire
infrastructure and fully test it in two or three days.”

The improved agility, as well as the ability to customize its offerings to align with
customer needs, has put IGT in a stronger competitive position. “Nutanix has
reduced our time of delivery, while allowing us to be more flexible with sales and
customer requirements,” says Koven. “It lets us rapidly provide solutions at an
attractive price point, while reducing the complexity of deploying them. The result is
faster and cheaper for us—and a better solution at the end of the day.”

Buy What You Need; Grow When
You’re Ready
It was not so long ago that enterprises were forced to make
massive IT purchases based on best guesses for what their
infrastructure needs would be three or four years down the
road. Turns out, predicting the future is hit or miss, which is why
most companies significantly overprovisioned to avoid an even
worse scenario--not having resources when you need them.

Nutanix was designed for the cloud era—with simplicity and


pay-as-you-go economics so you pay only for what you use,
which means no hidden costs or unexpected “true-up” charges
at the end of the contract term. Our industry-leading solution
includes built-in virtualization, so there’s no need to buy, install,
and manage a separate hypervisor solution. No more surprise
bills, shelfware, or complicated contracts—just predictable
costs and best-in-class tools you need to manage your private
and hybrid clouds.

Science Museum Group Prepares for the
Future on Nutanix
The five museums of the UK’s Science Museum Group (SMG) have launched a
digital initiative to expand access to their world-leading collections. This initiative
requires a scalable and highly available hybrid IT infrastructure that leverages both
public cloud and on-premise datacenters.

Amardeep Rai, Head of ICT Programs for the Science Museum Group, explains that
they chose the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS “because it met the specification
for linear, on-demand scalability to enable the organisation to provide for both
current and future IT requirements. The Nutanix software also delivered the
sought-after single pane of management for both physical, virtual, and cloud
resources, at a stroke eliminating the need for costly specialist knowledge and
familiarity with multiple interfaces.”

The AHV hypervisor, included at no extra charge as part of the Nutanix


software stack, was another key factor in the decision, enabling SMG to consolidate
virtualization platforms of its workloads without the licensing overheads associated
with alternative platforms.

“AHV was a major selling point,” said Rai. “We considered alternative
virtualization platforms, but as well as the licensing costs – always an issue for publicly
funded organisations like us – we wanted a virtualization platform that could take full
advantage of other core infrastructure services, as well as one that didn’t require yet
another management interface or the skill set to go with it. Nutanix AHV has given
us all that, and more.”

Zentura A/S Delivers EUC on Nutanix
Zentura A/S was eager to be done with the headaches and expense of
legacy three-tier architecture. Seeking agility and scalability, their first thought
was going all-in on public cloud, but concerns about long-term costs, security,
and control ruled this out. Nutanix emerged as the ideal choice, meeting all of their
requirements, including getting rid of unnecessary licensing expenses. Zentura CEO
Christian Pedersen recalled that “VMware licensing was becoming a big cost for
us. AHV enabled us to eliminate that overhead and also simplify management with
our physical infrastructure and virtual machines now all managed from the same
console.”

“We have saved a lot in infrastructure costs and now we are able to do a pay-as-you-
grow model,” said Pedersen. Zentura condensed their 48U infrastructure of servers
and SANs to just 12U, cutting power costs to less than half.

Even more importantly, Pedersen added, “we have gained a lot of productivity
because we can focus on what really drives us, which is our customers.

Reducing all of the service windows really gives us a better way


to do an always-on solution for our customers, who have
seen a huge performance improvement.”

Waste Pro USA Hauls Legacy Infrastructure Away
Waste Pro USA’s IT service delivery was suffering. Rob Grimm, Director of
Information Systems at Waste Pro, recalled that “our IT team was managing a
converged infrastructure set up with a lot of incompatible components. Due to
the mix of systems and vendors, we had challenges with scaling, and our Citrix
VDI desktop performance was nowhere where we would have liked it to be.”

Grimm opted for the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS, granting him the freedom to
choose whichever hardware best suited his company’s needs. “By choosing
Nutanix Enterprise Cloud software and Cisco UCS C-Series Servers, I’m
getting the best of both worlds. Nutanix is the leader in hyperconverged
solutions, and Cisco is the leader in the server space,” noted Grimm. “Unlike
the other infrastructure vendors’ solution,

I’ve had nothing but good experience with Nutanix and the
UCS platform. Neither vendor has ever let me down.”

The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS also delivers frictionless scalability. Brian


McDermott, senior network administrator at Waste Pro USA, explained that
“it used to take weeks to add capacity. With the Nutanix hyperconverged
infrastructure, it only takes minutes to add nodes. Whenever we have new
business unit needs we can react quickly without having to replace a large stack
of our old SAN storage or upgrading all of the servers. Nutanix’s easy scalability
enables us to bring new applications and services to market much faster, and
provide better service to all of our customers.”

Nutanix Cures Chesterfield Royal Hospital’s
Ailing Infrastructure
Chesterfield Royal Hospital relies heavily on technology to meet the needs of
both their practitioners and the patients they serve. Their legacy infrastructure
simply wasn’t up to the task, as David Sawyer, IT Technical Delivery Lead at
Chesterfield Royal Hospital, explained.

“We had reached a point where our ‘make do and mend’ approach was no
longer a workable option. Not only were we running out of storage, we had
to implement multiple backup solutions just to meet the existing demands, let
alone cope with future workloads.”

On top of this, their virtualization solution was hard to scale and manage. “We
had no headroom to cope with growing demand, and staff were run ragged
having to work with a variety of management interfaces--some remote, but
many local--to the host systems involved, each requiring different skill sets and
experience,” commented Sawyer.

The hospital tackled these problems by deploying the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud
OS, along with the built-in Nutanix hypervisor, AHV. In addition to reducing
licensing costs, AHV allows workloads to move freely between virtualization
environments, as well as from the Nutanix platform to the public cloud, with-
out penalty. This functionality has further enabled Chesterfield Royal to take
advantage of unused capacity on the failover cluster, as David explains.

“We originally planned an active/passive failover implementation simply


replicating data to the secondary cluster. However, when we saw what the
Nutanix platform was capable of, we realised we could get a greater return by
running active workloads on the secondary cluster as well. This active approach
has given us instant headroom and the ability to balance workload demand plus,
thanks to the licence-free AHV hypervisor, and do so at no extra cost.”

Nutanix Removes a “Huge Burden” from
Great Canadian Gaming Company
When the Great Canadian Gaming Company (GCGC) decided to roll out
Bally’s new Gaming Management System (GMS) to three of its casinos, they
were tasked with getting a complex and mission-critical application up and
running in less than eight weeks. Gaming management systems control all of
the game logic and playability on the casino floor, which means the underlying
infrastructure must deliver flawless performance without absolutely no down-
time. As Robin Killeen, Director ofTechnical Development, GCGC, explains, “We
start losing money immediately if our gaming management system goes offline.”

Mark Poitras, IT systems architect at GCGC, wanted infrastructure that was


easier to operate than their legacy three-tier architecture. “It took months to
perform any OS or firmware upgrades on our current storage systems. Plus, we
had to schedule outages with the business, which is extremely difficult since
many of our properties are operational 24/7. We needed a solution that we could
easily upgrade on the fly, with little to no downtime.”

Nutanix got the nod and with a Nutanix engineer onsite, they had both the
production and secondary DR site up and running in three days. “Moving to
Nutanix has taken a huge burden off our shoulders,” concluded Killeen.

“All of the ‘scariness’ of having a critical system patch come


down the pipe and worrying that the upgrade will either
fail or be disruptive has been eliminated.

With Nutanix, we can proceed with upgrades with a high degree of confidence—
eliminating risk and months of up-front planning needed with our traditional
platforms. Nutanix has been a great choice for our mission-critical systems, as well
as for our IT team.”

Casts Nutanix in a Leading Role
Endemol Shine UK’s legacy blade servers and fiber-channel SAN storage
platforms were designed for an earlier era, ill-equipped for today’s digital
applications and unstructured data demands that spike on a moment’s notice.
IT was struggling to manage its distributed infrastructure while also enduring
escalating VMware licensing costs.

Endemol Shine was sold on the proven linear scalability of the Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud OS, as well as the consumer-grade management capabilities
of the Nutanix Prism interface, which makes it easy to administer infrastructure
across multiple sites. “We no longer have to plan ahead to deal with growth
in unstructured data or the rollout of new applications,” said Daniel Davis,
Infrastructure Manager, Endemol Shine UK.

“We can size workloads on the fly with the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud and
quickly add resources to meet the needs of a production as they ramp up –
just as with AWS or Azure but at a much lower cost and on our own terms.”

They also said they’d had enough of paying extra for virtualization: “We
wanted to get away from VMware and its associated licensing costs. We saw for
ourselves what AHV could do and that we could manage it from the same
console as the rest of the platform and it became a no brainer—AHV it was.”

True IT Support
Is your blood pressure often higher after you call customer
“support” than it was before you called? The last thing anyone
needs when they’re having a problem is to have a problem
getting help. Being handed from rep to rep while your issue
goes unsolved for days and weeks on end is beyond frustrating.
Lost productivity, downtime and outages, and endless fire drills
add up to more cost and waste.

At Nutanix, each of our support engineers is a highly trained


technologist who stops at nothing to get your issues resolved
in hours, or less. Our proactive support technology identifies
and alerts you to issues long before they turn into problems.

23
Nutanix Technical Support Provides Service That’s
“Unheard of in the Business”
It’s one thing for a vendor to say it has great technical support, but it’s another thing for
it to be true. Nutanix has great technical support, and we’ve got the numbers to back it
up--a 90+ Net Promoter Score (NPS), which measures customer loyalty, for five years
running, and 96 percent customer satisfaction, based on both the quality of the
Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS and the quality of our technical support. We’re also a
five-time winner of the Northface Scoreboard Award for World Class Excellence in
Customer Service.

However, nothing conveys our customers’ satisfaction with Nutanix support better
than our customers themselves, like Brian Oamek at Trek Bicycle who describes our
support as “by far the best support of any IT organization that I’ve ever worked with.”

And many more customers agree:

“Our experience with Nutanix Support has been amazing. It’s been way better than
what we previously experienced with the three-tier legacy architecture, where we
had sometimes four vendors that we’d have to contact for a root-cause analysis.
Now that we’re running AHV on Nutanix, there’s one number to call.”
Cardinal Innovations – Bobby Edwards

“I’ve been in the business for a while and what I’ve noticed is that Nutanix support is
one of the best out there. You log a low priority ticket or a high priority ticket and it gets
picked up within 15 minutes and somebody is calling you--and they’re fixing the solution,
which is unheard of in the business.”
Hyundai Motor Company Australia – Kawa Farid

The few times that we have had problems it tends to happen on a Friday night when I’m

calling us before we notice that there’s actually a problem within the environment.

No More Infrastructure Nightmares for
Heartland Community Health Network
The Heartland Community Health Network pools the resources of Federally
Qualified Health Centers into a single network, digitizing electronic health
records to provide easy access for health practitioners. Although they have a
vitally important mission, they are a nonprofit with a shoestring budget, which
lead them to accumulate a piecemeal IT infrastructure. As Heartland Commu-
nity IT Director Steve Elgan recalls, “We had different consoles, servers, and
storage area networks. As you can imagine, this hodgepodge of systems was
a nightmare to manage.”

Elgan says that “What immediately drew us to Nutanix’s offering was how
easily we could expand our infrastructure. Our nonprofit nature wasn’t going to
change, which meant we’d still need to grow one step at a time. But we had to
find a way to grow incrementally without making a mess like we did last time.
Nutanix showed how we could start with our initial cluster and then just add
nodes as needed. We loved that.”

Another major advantage of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud was its one-click
simplicity:

“The very first update I did for Nutanix happened with my newborn
child in my arms. I had my son in my hands, feeding him
his bottle, and I just clicked ‘Upgrade.’

Things had only been in production for about a month, and what used to be a
nightmare process was now so simple that I could devote all of my attention to
my son instead of a computer screen. I could never have done something like
that while upgrading a traditional three-tier infrastructure.”
