Case Study: Subaru Canada achieves faster SQL performance and simplified IT management with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

Subaru Canada Upgrades to Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

Subaru Canada’s IT team was struggling with aging servers and NetApp storage that couldn’t keep up with demanding SQL-based workloads supporting SharePoint, CRM, Dynamics AX and on-site BI tools. Poor processing speed caused slow developer and end-user performance—especially during month-end reporting and nightly ETL jobs—so the company needed a higher-performance, more scalable infrastructure.

Subaru standardized on Nutanix Enterprise Cloud’s hyperconverged platform, deploying a two-block cluster in its Mississauga datacenter to consolidate BI, CRM and VDI workloads. The move delivered much higher IOPS, cut a nightly ETL from four hours to under two, eliminated month-end performance complaints, simplified management with Prism, reduced datacenter footprint, and improved stability—prompting plans to expand Nutanix for backup and off-site replication.
