Case Study: Shannex achieves faster desktop logins, streamlined IT management, and improved patient care with Nutanix

Shannex Simplifies IT Management with Nutanix

Shannex, a Canadian provider of seniors’ housing and care, needed to simplify IT management and improve system performance to ensure timely access to patient records and maintain high-quality care across its facilities.

Shannex implemented the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud (AHV hypervisor, Prism) with Citrix XenDesktop, which installed in about 30 minutes and eliminated the need for dedicated storage and virtualization specialists. The move delivered faster desktop logins and patient-app access (seconds), 40% faster payroll processing, rapid snapshot-based DR, a smaller 6U datacenter footprint, non‑disruptive upgrades, and over $80K saved in hypervisor licensing.
