Case Study: Advantech achieves 50% cost savings and zero-downtime agile IoT infrastructure with Nutanix Cloud Platform

Advantech works with Nutanix to strengthen IT capabilities to build a smart IoT ecosystem as part of their company’s vision

Advantech, a global leader in industrial IoT and embedded systems, faced limits from a complex, multi-vendor three‑tier infrastructure that constrained storage, physical space and expansion, slowed IT operations and hindered timely business decision‑making as the company moved toward IoT, big data and AI initiatives.

After testing and rolling out the Nutanix Cloud Platform (AOS, AHV and Nutanix Flow), Advantech gained a single management interface, rapid online node expansion with zero downtime, and stronger security through micro‑segmentation. The change cut conversion time by ~30%, shortened virtualization RPO from 24 to 8 hours (up to 66%), reduced direct investment and hardware footprint by ~50%, and improved operational agility and decision speed—supporting Advantech’s smart IoT ecosystem strategy.
