Case Study: Westgate Resorts cuts backup times and saves $1.6M annually with Nutanix Database Service

Westgate Resorts cuts backup times from 18 hours to 1 hour with Nutanix

Westgate Resorts, a major hospitality company, faced significant challenges with its aging legacy database infrastructure. The system's unreliable disaster recovery, 18-hour backup times, and a costly licensing audit that revealed $2 million in ballooning costs were unsustainable for its business-critical applications. Needing a modern solution, Westgate turned to vendor Nutanix and its Nutanix Database Service (NDB).

By implementing Nutanix's solution, Westgate seamlessly migrated its core application in just four hours. The results were transformative: backup, cloning, and refresh times were reduced from 18 hours to just one hour. This modernization effort saved the company $1.6 million in annual total cost of ownership and significantly improved operational efficiency and work-life balance for its IT staff. Nutanix provided the reliable foundation Westgate needed to drive future innovation.
