Case Study: UCS Solutions reduces costs and eliminates SAN reliance with Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure

UCS Solutions - Customer Case Study

UCS Solutions, a leading South African IT systems and services company specializing in SAP and retail hosting, faced rising costs, slow service rollouts and complexity from a siloed, layered infrastructure that relied heavily on SAN storage and specialized SAN skills. The company sought a game‑changing, cost‑effective platform to simplify operations, improve scalability and pass savings on to customers.

UCS adopted the Nutanix hyperconverged Xtreme Computing Platform (NX series, Acropolis/AHV and Prism), consolidating compute, storage and virtualization across VMware and AHV clusters, migrating key services and enabling DR. The move eliminated SAN dependency, cut CapEx by over 20%, freed and repurposed technical resources, improved VM performance and visibility via a single dashboard, accelerated deployments and allowed UCS to pass tangible cost savings and new managed cloud services to its clients.
