Case Study: Mercer & Hole achieves scalable, self-healing hybrid IT and 90% power savings with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

Forward thinking accountancy firm finds freedom from legacy constraints with Nutanix

Mercer & Hole, a leading UK accountancy firm, needed to replace a bulky legacy server estate that limited automation, scalability and IT productivity. The firm sought a modern, hybrid-ready infrastructure that would deliver high availability, easier management and future-proof support for cloud adoption while reducing space and operational overheads.

They deployed Nutanix Enterprise Cloud with the AHV hypervisor, Prism management and Veeam backup across two on‑premise clusters, virtualising their environment into 65 VMs. The rollout—completed in weeks—replaced 30+ physical servers with two 2U appliances, cut power overheads by ~90%, improved performance and capacity, enabled real‑time DR and automated backups, supported remote working during COVID‑19, and positioned the firm for future cloud integration.
