Case Study: Nutanix achieves infrastructure visibility and automation with NetBox Labs

From Spreadsheet Chaos to Peace of Mind Across Massive and Diverse Infrastructure

Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, faced significant challenges managing its massive and diverse infrastructure. The company relied on disconnected systems and manual spreadsheets, which created information silos and made tasks like troubleshooting and security response slow and difficult. To overcome this, Nutanix turned to NetBox Labs and implemented their product, NetBox, to gain a unified source of truth.

The solution involved building a custom crawler architecture on top of NetBox to automatically inventory their entire environment. This implementation by NetBox Labs delivered transformative results, including reducing VLAN creation from weeks to 90 seconds and cutting security incident response from hours to seconds. The reliable data provided by NetBox also became the foundation for broader automation initiatives, drastically improving operational efficiency and planning.
