Case Study: City of Unley delivers digital public services and cuts IT costs with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

City of Unley cuts power costs 70% with Nutanix

The City of Unley, a council in South Australia, faced the challenge of modernizing its aging three-tier IT infrastructure to support its "Digital Unley" initiative for improved citizen services. With a limited budget and a small team, they needed a robust, simple-to-manage platform that would eliminate performance issues and downtime without creating new management expenses. They turned to Nutanix to implement a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution.

By deploying the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS, the City of Unley consolidated ten racks of equipment down to a quarter rack, reducing power and cooling costs by 70% and saving 24,000 kg of CO2 annually. Nutanix simplified administration, allowing the IT team to focus on strategic projects instead of troubleshooting, and cut dependency on outside consultants by 50%, freeing up budget for innovation. The new infrastructure provided a reliable foundation for smart city initiatives and online services.
