Case Study: Minnesota Wild achieves a resilient infrastructure refresh with Insight and Nutanix-Rubrik solutions

Minnesota Wild Scores With Infrastructure Refresh and New Disaster Recovery Solution

Minnesota Wild, the professional NHL team based in St. Paul, Minnesota, worked with Insight to address aging storage and infrastructure that were causing capacity and performance issues. As a small IT team responsible not only for the hockey organization but also the Xcel Energy Center’s events and venue systems, they needed help maintaining reliable operations across a demanding environment. Insight provided managed services, consulting, and network assessment support, along with ongoing infrastructure and hardware assistance.

Insight recommended a refresh to Nutanix Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) and added a Rubrik backup and disaster recovery solution. This gave Minnesota Wild a more resilient, easier-to-manage infrastructure with improved capacity and performance, while also allowing the team to optimize existing server hardware for disaster recovery instead of buying new HCI. With Insight continuing to provide managed services and OneCall support, the organization now has greater confidence in supporting live games and events, though no specific quantitative metrics were provided.
