Ruffalo Noel Levitz speeds server cloning from 45 minutes to 2 minutes with Nutanix

Ruffalo Noel Levitz, a provider of software and consulting services to educational and non-profit institutions, faced challenges with its complex and aging legacy infrastructure, which included separate Dell hosts and NetApp storage systems. This environment was difficult to manage and led to escalating costs for adding new capacity. The company turned to Nutanix to replace this infrastructure and simplify its operations.

By implementing the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform, including Acropolis with AHV virtualization, Nutanix Files, and Nutanix Volumes, Ruffalo Noel Levitz achieved significant results. The solution drastically improved performance, reducing server clone times from 45 minutes to just 2 minutes. It also simplified management, eliminated VMware and AWS licensing fees, and enabled faster file restores. Nutanix provided the high-performance, cost-effective infrastructure that allowed the IT team to bring workloads back in-house and focus on more strategic tasks.
