Case Study: Hallmark Business Connections achieves faster builds and lower infrastructure costs with Nutanix

Hallmark Business Connections Builds Next-Generation Datacenter using Nutanix Invisible Infrastructure

Hallmark Business Connection, the B2B arm of Hallmark Cards Group, needed a scalable and affordable platform to quickly deploy a new data analytics application and modernize its aging three-tier datacenter. The company turned to Nutanix, using Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure with VMware vSphere to support analytics and set the stage for a broader migration to a next-generation datacenter.

Nutanix implemented the solution on NX-6000/NX-8000 Series systems, helping Hallmark Business Connection improve DevOps performance and reduce operational burden. The results included up to a 72% reduction in software build time, a drop in infrastructure operating costs by 55%, and a reduction in support workload from 20 hours per week to just 2 hours, while also enabling a smaller, more scalable private-cloud-ready environment.
