Case Study: Perpetual Energy achieves 5x rack-space reduction and frees its lean IT team for innovation with Nutanix

Perpetual Energy - Customer Case Study

Perpetual Energy Trust, an independent natural gas producer in Calgary, faced a growing IT burden with a lean team that had shrunk from five to two people while supporting help desk, applications and infrastructure on an aging three‑tier system. A total-cost-of-ownership review showed it was no longer viable to keep investing in the legacy stack, and disaster recovery and maintainability needed improvement.

Perpetual chose Nutanix for its iSCSI support, quick rack‑and‑stack deployment and vendor transition support. The new hyperconverged platform cut footprint from 30RU to 6RU, delivered a single pane of glass for management, reduced maintenance time and improved disaster recovery — giving the IT team back evenings and weekends and freeing staff to focus on innovation, efficiency and cost savings.
