Case Study: Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust boosts scalability and failover resilience with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform

Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust cuts rack footprint by 60% with Nutanix

Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust faced an aging IT infrastructure that was running out of storage and struggling to cope with growing demand, all within a strict NHS budget. Their complex environment utilized a limited free hypervisor and required multiple management interfaces, leaving IT staff overworked. They selected the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform to address these challenges.

By implementing Nutanix, the hospital virtualized all remaining physical servers and gained significant immediate headroom for growth. The solution provided an active/active failover capability to a secondary site and enabled a 60% reduction in rack footprint alongside a 55% saving in datacentre cooling. Nutanix also delivered substantial cost savings through its license-free AHV hypervisor and simplified management via the Nutanix Prism console, freeing the IT team to be more proactive.
