Case Study: Q9 accelerates private cloud delivery with Nutanix

Q9 deploys private cloud in minutes with Nutanix

Q9, a leading Canadian provider of outsourced data center services, faced challenges as its customers sought enterprise-class private cloud solutions that were easier to deploy and manage than their expensive and complex on-premise environments. These clients, particularly in the oil and gas and financial sectors, required dedicated, secure, and flexible infrastructure. To address this, Q9 partnered with vendor Nutanix to build a new Dedicated Private Cloud service using the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform with the integrated AHV hypervisor.

The Nutanix solution radically simplified the software stack, allowing Q9 to deploy new customer clusters in minutes instead of weeks. This reduced time to market and eliminated the need for custom coding, enabling the team to focus on solution engineering instead of infrastructure management. The feedback from customers was overwhelmingly positive, with Nutanix providing a solid foundation that offers resource elasticity, pay-per-use pricing, and advanced replication options.
