Case Study: Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu achieves 13-hour to 30-minute ERP backups and near-zero downtime with Nutanix Database Service

Accelerated Digital Transformation with Nutanix Database Service

The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY), a key public-sector driver of Saudi Arabia’s industrial growth, faced rising complexity as the number and variety of managed databases grew to support its Vision 2030 digital initiatives. A heterogeneous, multi-vendor environment made database management, scaling and performance difficult, causing slower queries, lengthy backups and disruptions to the digital services RCJY provides to users and investors.

RCJY implemented Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure and Nutanix Database Service to unify its stack with hyperconverged infrastructure and automate provisioning, patching, backups and scaling across multiple database engines. The result was faster deployments and query performance, ERP backup times cut from 13 hours to 30 minutes, database server reset times reduced by over 90%, near-zero downtime, simplified operations and improved productivity — with Nutanix support praised and a forecasted 50% reduction in database TCO over three years.
