Case Study: Leitner, Williams, Dooley & Napolitan, PLLC achieves faster, more reliable VDI with Nutanix

Nutanix Outperforms Traditional Servers and SAN in VDI Deployment at Law Firm

Leitner, Williams, Dooley & Napolitan is a southeastern U.S. law firm founded in 1882 with nearly 100 attorneys across multiple offices. Facing a firmwide upgrade to Windows 7 and Office 2010, IT leaders weighed a costly PC hardware refresh against virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to simplify management across distributed sites and required a fast, highly available server/storage platform to support VMware View.

They deployed the Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform, which outperformed traditional servers plus SAN by delivering faster desktop refreshes and recomposes, a compact 2U footprint, built‑in high‑availability features (live migration and automatic node failover), and an intuitive management GUI. Nutanix now hosts the firm’s virtual desktops and broad application portfolio, with strong “holistic” support and plans to expand the solution long term.
