Case Study: ec2i achieves lower costs and simpler scaling with Nutanix

Nutanix helps ec2i focus on delivering content instead of managing infrastructure

ec2i, a creative production agency specializing in retouching, colour management, and processing large images and video, needed a simpler way to manage fast-growing infrastructure and avoid the time, cost, and complexity of adding more servers and storage. The company also wanted to support its SaaS platform, Renaissance, without distracting the team from core business operations.

Nutanix provided the infrastructure platform that ec2i used to scale more easily and manage upgrades with less effort. With Nutanix, new resources could be brought online in minutes, upgrades were handled with on-click tools, and the team reported savings of around £5,000 per year in power costs alone. The solution also reduced rack space, improved speed, and allowed ec2i to expand capacity with no downtime or DR-site switchovers.
