Case Study: WD-40 reduces data centre footprint and power use with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud

WD-40 reduces power and cooling by 41% with Nutanix

WD-40, a leading specialist lubricant manufacturer, faced a challenge modernizing its data center at its UK-based EMEIA headquarters. Its traditional three-tier infrastructure was running out of rack space and was complex to manage, especially while needing to support the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor for its business-critical applications.

The solution was the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform, specifically NX-3000 Series clusters running Hyper-V managed by Nutanix Prism. This hyperconverged infrastructure drastically reduced the physical footprint, simplified management, and was fully certified for Hyper-V. Results included a 41% reduction in power and cooling requirements, significantly faster workload deployment, and seamless migration of mission-critical applications. Nutanix provided a stable, high-performance platform that enabled further IT consolidation and planning for advanced disaster recovery.
