Case Study: Regent’s University London modernizes IT and exits VMware with Nutanix

Regent’s University London migrates 200 servers off VMware in 2 months with Nutanix

Regent's University London faced an urgent need to modernize its IT infrastructure when Broadcom's acquisition of VMware threatened potential sharp price rises and disruptive support changes. The university, which had a complex VMware setup, sought a reliable and future-proof alternative to avoid vendor lock-in and maintain control. This prompted them to partner with vendor Nutanix for a hyperconverged infrastructure solution.

Nutanix provided a rapid migration path to its AHV hypervisor and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI), enabling the university's own IT team to execute the move with expert support. The solution was implemented within months, resulting in a complete break from VMware. Nutanix delivered a stable, reliable environment with business savings on licensing and set the stage for future enhancements like disaster recovery with Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on Azure.
