Case Study: Woods Aitken achieves always-on, simplified legal IT operations with Nutanix

Woods Aitken Attorneys Stay Productive Nonstop in the Office and Remotely with Nutanix

Woods Aitken, a law firm with offices across several U.S. cities, needed a simpler, more dependable IT foundation as its network grew more complex and difficult for its lone full-time IT staff member to manage. The firm relied on document management applications and wanted a solution that could support attorneys in the office and remotely, while reducing the burden of maintaining separate servers, SANs, and networking systems. Nutanix provided a hyperconverged infrastructure and AHV hypervisor to replace the legacy environment.

With Nutanix, Woods Aitken migrated its key systems and 65 users smoothly, supporting Worldox document management and enabling fast expansion for remote work during the pandemic. The firm gained centralized management, lower licensing costs, and easier updates, with Nutanix saving about two to three hours per upgrade cycle. Nutanix also improved flexibility, security, and availability, helping Woods Aitken keep operations running with less complexity and better support for future growth.
