Case Study: ACICO Group achieves 30% business performance boost and 35% IT cost reduction with Nutanix

ACICO Group Lays Foundation for Success by Standardizing on Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

ACICO Group, Kuwait’s largest building‑materials manufacturer, faced rising risk and operational friction as its critical systems—including Microsoft Dynamics AX and SharePoint—ran on a complex, multi‑vendor mix of servers, storage and networking. The fragmented infrastructure created slow troubleshooting, vendor finger‑pointing and threatened the company’s ability to support fast, reliable operations during a regional construction boom.

ACICO standardized on Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure with AHV hypervisor to consolidate into a single‑vendor private cloud, dramatically simplifying management. The migration cut the datacenter footprint from 42U to 6U (≈85%), reduced IT OpEx by 35%, delivered near‑zero downtime, boosted mission‑critical app performance by about 45% and improved overall business performance by roughly 30%, with rapid hardware replacement and snapshot recovery further ensuring operational resilience.
