Case Study: Pusateri’s Fine Food achieves 25–40% lower IT costs, faster performance and disaster resilience with Nutanix

Pusateri’s Fine Foods Shops for New Storage after a Devastating Fire

Pusateri’s Fine Foods, a longtime Toronto gourmet grocer, needed to modernize legacy IT after inheriting an aging physical infrastructure and then losing much of it in a three‑alarm fire. The IT team required more storage capacity, better performance for multiple line‑of‑business apps, and faster recovery and continuity options while keeping costs under control.

Pusateri’s deployed a Nutanix NX 1365 G4 hyperconverged solution with Acropolis (AHV) and Prism, which was installed and brought online in under a day. The move consolidated 11 legacy servers into a single 2U block (3 nodes), improved application and graphics performance, extended UPS runtime from ~15 to ~45 minutes for better DR, eliminated VMware licensing costs, and delivered a 25–40% lower cost than a traditional three‑tier VMware solution.
