Case Study: rAge Expo achieves zero outages and flawless 69-hour BYOC LAN gaming with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

It was “Game On” for Vodacom rAge Expo LAN Gamers with Nutanix

Vodacom rAge Expo, Southern Africa’s largest gaming, tech and geek-culture event, runs the region’s biggest Bring-Your-Own-Console (BYOC) LAN and needed to replace a legacy virtualized environment to improve gaming performance and ensure uptime over a 69-hour, three-day festival.

By deploying Nutanix Enterprise Cloud with Prism and the AHV hypervisor and migrating VMs onto a fully virtualized cluster, rAge achieved seamless operations: zero Nutanix-related outages, 71.9 TB served with estimated peak transfer rates of 8 Gbps, about 18.28 TB of logical SSD used, and thousands of hours of gameplay across hundreds of titles—demonstrating markedly improved performance and resilience.
