Case Study: PNC Financial Services frees 0.5MW and extends data center life from 5 to 15 years with Nlyte Software

PNC Financial Services - Customer Case Study

PNC Financial Services, a Pittsburgh-based financial services firm with $16 billion in revenue and 54,000 employees, faced disparate, manual data center processes that produced reactive planning, inaccurate inventory records, and an inability to forecast power, cooling, and space or share infrastructure data across the organization.

By deploying the vendor-neutral Nlyte DCIM suite, PNC rapidly modeled moves and consolidations, decommissioned nearly 500 orphaned servers, and freed about 0.5 megawatt of power—extending one data center’s useful life from five years to 15. The solution delivered quick ROI (initial install paid for in three months; first-year savings covered a three-year license), enabled IT budget reallocation from ~70/30 operations/development to 40/60, and saved an estimated eight months of planning time (≈$750,000).
