Case Study: Reed Exhibitions achieves 30% faster application performance and 30% lower operational costs with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

Reed Exhibitions Selects Nutanix to Support Singapore Expansion

Reed Exhibitions, a global events organizer with over 500 events in 30+ countries, needed a simpler, more scalable infrastructure to support its Singapore expansion and protect critical workloads (SAP, Microsoft SQL Server, LANDESK and accounting systems). Their legacy setup of 20–25 physical servers was creating maintenance overhead and risking performance lags, so the IT team sought a reliable, easy-to-manage platform that could be migrated without disrupting daily operations.

Reed deployed Nutanix Enterprise Cloud (via local partner IIJ) to consolidate servers and storage onto a hyperconverged platform, migrating workloads during business hours over five days with no user downtime. The Prism-managed solution simplified administration (reducing multiple admins to one), delivered power and maintenance savings, and produced a 20–30% reduction in operating costs alongside a 30% improvement in application performance, while providing scalable capacity for future expansion.
