Case Study: Yahoo! Japan achieves enhanced VDI security, performance and scalability with Nutanix

Yahoo Japan Corporation Chooses Nutanix for VDI Environment

Yahoo Japan Corporation, a leading Japanese internet company, needed a more secure, scalable way to support staff who review and patrol third‑party sites. Frequent malware embedded in customer sites forced infected PCs to be confiscated and rebuilt—causing hours of downtime—while traditional server-plus-shared-storage designs proved complex to manage and hard to scale for a VDI rollout.

Yahoo Japan deployed a Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform for VDI (with implementation support from Nissho Electronics), gaining integrated server/storage performance, simple Prism management, and modular scale‑out. The deployment was fast, handled peak logins with no lag, lets teams recreate infected desktops in minutes, cut management overhead, and delivered about a 30% boost in operational productivity with positive staff feedback.
