Case Study: City of Happy Valley achieves scalable, cost-saving IT and simplified management with Nutanix

City of Happy Valley - Customer Case Study

The City of Happy Valley, a fast‑growing Portland suburb, outgrew costly third‑party IT services and hired its first internal IT manager, Will Wilson. Facing several-years‑old hardware, limited resources, and the need for a virtualization platform that could scale, the city sought a solution that would reduce costs and improve manageability and disaster readiness.

Working with local partner Structured, the city deployed Nutanix—chosen for its scalability, reasonable TCO, single‑pane management, and Xi Leap snapshot capabilities—and rebuilt VMs on modern infrastructure. The result: a dramatically smaller server footprint, nearly five times the storage and compute capacity with room to grow, easier backups and remote management, the ability to patch during the day, and a 10–20% cost reduction when replacing physical servers.
