Case Study: Farmers Insurance Group Federal Credit Union achieves high-availability, high-performance VDI with Nutanix

Farmers Insurance Group Federal Credit Union Relies on Nutanix Performance and Availability for VDI Installation

Farmers Insurance Group Federal Credit Union (FIGFCU) is a member-owned, non-profit financial institution serving over 40,000 members with $650M in assets. As it moved from Citrix XenApp to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), FIGFCU needed fast, highly available server and storage to support centralized desktops, ensure business continuity, and avoid the cost and complexity of a traditional SAN.

FIGFCU deployed Nutanix Complete Cluster across two data centers (Texas and Los Angeles), using its converged scale-out compute and storage, built-in hypervisor, and automatic node failover. The solution delivered superior performance and fault tolerance versus traditional servers/SANs, was easy to manage (engineers learned the web console in about 20 minutes), and—with responsive VMware-savvy support—enabled seamless failover, improved user experience, and greater confidence in business continuity.
