Case Study: Relationships Australia NSW achieves zero downtime and secure VDI for 400+ staff with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

Relationships Australia NSW Transforms IT with Nutanix

Relationships Australia New South Wales (RANSW), a not‑for‑profit counselling and community services organisation, faced a critical IT crossroads: its legacy SAN was at capacity, causing downtime, difficult upgrades and limiting its ability to offer mobile and secure services (including VDI) needed to win funding and support staff across a planned office merge. RANSW also required an on‑premises solution to protect highly sensitive case management data and meet a tight deployment timeline.

RANSW worked with partner BEarena to deploy Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform (Pro Edition) on Nutanix 6300 series with AHV—seven nodes across production and disaster‑recovery clusters—bringing 23 sites online in half a day. The platform enabled Citrix VDI for 400+ staff, supported an Avaya contact‑center and video conferencing rollout, and delivered measurable gains: effectively zero downtime, an 85% reduction in report time, a 92% smaller datacentre footprint and more than $150,000 in annual savings, with an independent security audit passed.
