Case Study: Ping An Securities achieves rapid deployment, lower costs and scalable FinTech innovation with Nutanix

Nutanix Helps Ping An Securities Explore New Models of FinTech Infrastructure

Ping An Securities, a major arm of Ping An Group, set out to transform into an Internet‑centric securities broker but faced costly, slow legacy IT (the IBM‑Oracle‑EMC model), long delivery cycles (2–3 months to provision environments), and limited scalability. Its PILOT platform needed a more agile, lower‑cost infrastructure to support rapid FinTech development and large‑scale customer services.

After testing multiple vendors, Ping An deployed Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure, which delivered higher VM density (30–40% more), drastically reduced rack and space needs, enabled same‑day/same‑hour provisioning, and consolidated management under one OS. The change cut costs and ops effort while powering services like 99% online account opening, intelligent wealth management and an AI Smart Stock Trading offering, and Ping An plans to expand Nutanix use and pursue hybrid/multi‑cloud integration.
