Case Study: Shinsegae achieves 50,000-user Microsoft Exchange deployment and simplified, high-performance infrastructure with Nutanix

Shinsegae Corporation Standardizes on Nutanix

Shinsegae, South Korea’s largest department store, faced an aging, fragmented IT environment with blade servers across a main and DR datacenter, a mix of SAN/NAS/storage vendors, and complex management that caused frequent outages, difficult troubleshooting, and poor scalability. The IT team needed a single, reliable platform to consolidate mixed workloads — including a 50,000-user Microsoft Exchange deployment, large SQL databases, MongoDB and collaboration services — while reducing downtime and operational complexity.

Shinsegae standardized on the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform (NX-8000) with AHV and Prism, enabling fast, simple deployments, one-click upgrades, and centralized management. The consolidation delivered better-than-expected performance (over 4x required IOPS on JetStress), 2:1 mailbox compression, lower CapEx/OpEx, reduced downtime and faster troubleshooting, allowing the IT team to focus on strategic projects.
