Case Study: Jeju Shinhwa World achieves Korea’s first SDDC, consolidates 80+ apps and saves KRW 20B with Nutanix

Nutanix Combines all Business Workloads onto One Single Platform

Jeju Shinhwa World, Korea’s largest integrated resort on Jeju Island, faced a tight deadline and remote-location constraints to open with highly available IT for hotels, theme parks and a casino. The team needed to build two on‑premises datacenters with DR, achieve 100% virtualization (compute, network and storage), minimize management complexity, and ensure compatibility and reliability for 88 business‑critical applications including Oracle OPERA PMS, SAP HANA and casino/ POS systems.

They deployed the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud (AOS with AHV and Prism) to consolidate all workloads onto a single hyperconverged platform. The result: all 88 apps and ~2,000 VMs now run on 72 Nutanix nodes, provisioning and testing completed in three weeks with three engineers, a VMware migration finished in four hours, and datacenter costs cut by about KRW 20 billion. Operations are non‑disruptive with one‑click SAP upgrades, real‑time monitoring and predictive capacity planning, and a 40% reduction in planned footprint.
