Case Study: PH Tech simplifies its data center and boosts performance with Nutanix Complete Block

PH Tech Simplifies Its Data Center with the Nutanix Complete Block Solution

Performance Health Technology (PH Tech), a third‑party administrator for medical, dental, vision and pharmacy plans, faced rising strain on its data center as rapid growth drove increasing IOPS and SAN throughput problems. With a small IT team, PH Tech needed an automated, scalable, and cost‑effective smart‑storage solution—particularly heat‑mapping—to maintain performance without adding operational overhead.

PH Tech deployed a Nutanix Complete Block in its DEV environment, consolidating compute and storage with Nutanix Distributed File System and automated heat‑optimized tiering. The all‑in‑one appliance simplified administration, delivered 3–4× the performance of their prior architecture under stress testing, enabled automated hot‑data placement, reduced CAPEX by eliminating a separate SAN, and is expected to drive ongoing OPEX savings by shrinking the data center footprint and lowering maintenance effort.
