Case Study: Independent School District 196 achieves simplified IT management and 90% rack space reduction with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

Independent School District 196 Migrates to Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS

Independent School District 196 (ISD 196), which supports about 28,000 students and 4,000 staff with an IT team of two, faced an aging, siloed infrastructure nearing end of life and needed a simpler, future-proof solution to avoid disruptive forklift upgrades.

Partnering with TSG Server & Storage, ISD 196 migrated to Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, consolidating operations onto a single hyperconverged platform with no service interruption. The move streamlined and automated workflows (monitoring and one-click upgrades), delivered faster data access, and reduced rack space by 90%, cutting power and cooling costs while supporting key apps like Exchange, SQL Server, and Jamf.
