Case Study: City of Redmond achieves simplified management and improved performance with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

City of Redmond Moves Up to Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

The City of Redmond’s IT team was managing an aging, disparate stack—HPE servers, VMware, Brocade SAN switches and NetApp storage—that was costly and time-consuming to maintain. Facing a third NetApp refresh and high maintenance overhead, engineers needed a more efficient, high-performance, reliable platform to support municipal applications and services.

They chose the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud (Acropolis NX-8000 with VMware ESXi) after evaluating vendors and consulting regional references, deploying it to run roughly 105–120 production VMs with site-to-site DR replication. The new hyperconverged environment consolidated the datacenter, provided single-pane Prism visibility, eliminated about eight hours per week of storage management, enabled non‑disruptive one-click upgrades and linear scalability, improved application performance, and freed IT to focus on new services.
