Case Study: NTT DATA achieves 50-100% application performance improvements with Nutanix

Nutanix Simplifies IT Operations, Accelerates Performance, and Reduces Datacenter Costs for NTT DATA

NTT DATA’s Systems Operation Group, which maintains internal IT across 42 regions and 180 cities, was running a fragmented environment of 35 servers, six storage systems and about 100 VMs. Poor infrastructure performance forced limits on desktop logins, increased operational workload, and drove the need for higher performance, automated control, simpler management, and lower datacenter power and costs.

NTT DATA deployed Nutanix NX‑6000 hyperconverged appliances for a simple, fast rollout and centralized management via Nutanix Prism. The move reduced rack space from 75U to 15U, cut datacenter costs, improved disk I/O by ~5x and application response by 50–100%, lowered VM and management overhead, and achieved a 15% reduction in operational workload—enabling non‑specialist staff to handle operations and freeing experts to focus on new services.
