Case Study: London Gatwick Airport minimizes risk and simplifies IT with Nutanix

London Gatwick Airport supports 50 million passengers a year by 2027 with Nutanix

London Gatwick Airport, the UK's second largest airport, faced a complex and aging 3-tier IT infrastructure that was difficult to manage, costly to scale, and consumed excessive power. As a VMware user, they also faced rising licensing costs. They needed a modernized platform to support future growth and net-zero goals, requiring a low-risk migration to hyperconverged infrastructure with exceptional stability.

Nutanix addressed this with its Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) and Nutanix Move migration tool, supported by Nutanix Professional Services. The solution included a phased, low-risk migration, comprehensive training, and next-generation security implementations. Nutanix delivered a stable, modern infrastructure that minimized operational risk, reduced architectural complexity, and leveraged automation. This enabled Gatwick to streamline management, reduce its data center footprint, and empower its IT team for long-term operational independence.
