Case Study: Rafael achieves cloud-native modernization, unified management and rapid single-source support with Nutanix

Top Defence Company Goes All In For Nutanix To Deliver Modern Cloud Native Apps

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a global defense contractor focused on ISR, image capture/processing, storage and mission-critical databases, needed to move from legacy infrastructure to a scalable, cloud-native architecture. The company required full Kubernetes support, GPU-accelerated processing, unified software-defined datacenter management and rapid single-source support to meet demanding military availability, security and responsiveness requirements.

Rafael deployed Nutanix Cloud Platform on HPE with AHV, Nutanix Kubernetes Engine, Database Service, Objects, Files and Flow, all managed through the Prism Pro console. The migration streamlined VM-to-AHV conversion, enabled fast provisioning of production-ready Kubernetes clusters, accelerated image analysis with GPUs, and delivered unified management and single-point support—allowing Rafael to rapidly release containerized applications, scale infrastructure without downtime and prepare for customer rollouts.
