Case Study: EG Group achieves simpler, more resilient growth with Nutanix Cloud Platform

Expanding Forecourt Retailer Fuels Growth With Nutanix

EG Group, a fast-growing convenience retailer with more than 6,200 sites, needed to replace a patchwork of legacy IT inherited through acquisitions with infrastructure that could deliver simplicity, resilience, and scalability. The company chose Nutanix Cloud Platform, including the AHV hypervisor, to support its private cloud and keep pace with rapid expansion.

Nutanix helped EG Group consolidate from 20 mixed IT sites to 6 tier-1 data centers, centrally manage physical and virtual resources, and add built-in replication and disaster recovery. The results included a 50% improvement in legacy application performance, VMs booting in seconds instead of 20 minutes, no outages since migration, and the ability to double remote desktops overnight during COVID-19.
