Case Study: Protected Trust launches profitable Private Cloud Servers and cuts deployment time from months to minutes with Nutanix

Protected Trust Launches Virtual Private Cloud Servers with Nutanix

Protected Trust is a cloud services provider specializing in secure, compliance-driven solutions for healthcare, government and banking customers (HIPAA, FedRAMP). As it prepared to launch a public Private Cloud Servers (PCS) offering, the company faced scaling limitations, high upfront SAN costs, growing deployment times (previously up to a month), and costly administrative complexity that diverted focus from core security services.

By adopting the Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform with VMware, Protected Trust cut deployment time from months to hours and incremental deployments to roughly 30 minutes, reduced administrative labor by 3x, and shrank its datacenter footprint from 60U to 6U (a 10:1 resource reduction). The converged platform eliminated costly SAN complexity, enabled per-client modular scalability, lowered power and operating costs, and turned the internal PCS capability into a profitable, secure service line.
