Case Study: SMART Technology achieves huge performance, cost and resource utilisation gains with Nutanix

SMART drives huge performance, cost and resource utilisation gains with Nutanix

SMART Technology, a managed service provider in the ICT industry, needed a simpler way to manage multiple virtualization stacks while improving uptime, performance, and customer service. The company also wanted to reduce power use, hardware footprint, and the time spent on resource-intensive administration, and turned to Nutanix AHV as part of a hyperconverged infrastructure approach.

Nutanix helped SMART Technology replace legacy systems with a single-pane management platform using Prism Central and Nutanix AHV, with support for migration and implementation. The result was a three-node cluster occupying just 6U, a reduction of 12 physical servers and 8U of rack space, about 2KW less power loading, backup times cut by 70%, and resource time demands down by 60%, helping SMART Technology meet SLAs and grow its cloud business.
