Case Study: Bank of The Ryukyus achieves secure, scalable thin-client VDI for 2,000 employees with Nutanix

Bank of The Ryukyus Selects Nutanix for Thin Client Platform

Bank of The Ryukyus, a regional bank in Okinawa, needed to replace an aging Windows XP desktop environment, reduce PC operational overhead, and enable flexible work styles like telecommuting while creating a scalable platform that could extend to group companies. The IT team also required a secure, high-performing thin client/VDI setup that could handle peak startup demand across the organization.

They chose Nutanix Enterprise Cloud to underpin a Citrix/VMware thin-client strategy, deploying 19 Nutanix NX nodes to support virtual desktops for 2,000 employees across three Windows environments. The rollout delivered strong VDI performance, halved platform design man-hours versus a traditional 3‑tier build, simplified operations with an intuitive management console, enabled hot-swap hardware recovery for high availability, and created a scalable foundation for future group-wide and cloud-integrated expansion.
