Case Study: Beedie Development Group achieves faster deployments, simplified management and disaster recovery with Nutanix

Beedie Development Group Builds Solid Real Estate Empire on Nutanix Hyper-Converged Platform

Beedie Development Group, a major Canadian land developer and property manager, faced a complex, hard-to-scale IT environment built on IBM servers and an aging EMC SAN. The IT team struggled with slow deployments, time-consuming configuration, limited scalability, and no easy disaster recovery option, prompting a search for a simpler, integrated platform.

Beedie deployed two Nutanix NX-1050 appliances (primary and DR site) and now runs mixed workloads—including email, SQL, file and application servers—on a single Nutanix cluster managed via Prism. The change cut deployment from days to hours, improved performance, reduced datacenter footprint by 4:1, enabled quick scaling and minute‑level provisioning, and made disaster recovery achievable in hours rather than weeks.
