Case Study: Science Museum Group achieves 90% licensing savings with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

Science Museum Group saves 90% on licensing costs with Nutanix

The Science Museum Group (SMG), a collection of five publicly funded UK museums, faced significant challenges with its outdated and fragmented on-premise infrastructure. The system was difficult to manage, lacked scalability, and had inadequate disaster recovery capabilities. To support its digital transformation and build a robust hybrid IT infrastructure, SMG partnered with Nutanix to overhaul its data center.

Nutanix implemented its Enterprise Cloud software on Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series hardware, which included the AHV hypervisor and Prism management console. This solution consolidated SMG's infrastructure, leading to a 90% saving on licensing costs, an 80% reduction in rack space and power, and vastly improved disaster recovery. The Nutanix platform provided the scalable, easy-to-manage foundation that supports the museum group's mission.
