Case Study: Boardriders secures retail continuity and accelerates IT transformation with Nutanix NC2 on AWS

Boardriders secures retail operations in a 48-hour cutover with Nutanix

Boardriders, a leading international sportswear and lifestyle group, was faced with a tight deadline to migrate its IT infrastructure after a strategic acquisition and the impending closure of its US data center. An initial plan to use VMware Cloud on AWS was disrupted by licensing changes just days before go-live, threatening immediate operational interruption to its critical retail and logistics operations. Boardriders turned to Nutanix and its Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS to secure its cloud journey and ensure business continuity.

Nutanix implemented a rapid migration of the entire IT environment to a resilient 6-node NC2 cluster on AWS over a single weekend, ensuring no disruption to retail workflows. The solution provided enhanced resilience, significantly reduced operational costs, and maintained full continuity for all operations. As a result of working with Nutanix, Boardriders successfully processed its entire backlog within just two hours during the cutover and now has a stable, high-performance foundation for its retail operations.
