Case Study: Zwanenberg Food Group achieves more reliable, centrally managed IT with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform

Zwanenberg Food Group cuts rack footprint by 50% with Nutanix

Zwanenberg Food Group, a leading European meat processor, faced challenges with its aging and fragmented legacy IT infrastructure spread across multiple plants. This unreliable environment caused performance issues and required intensive management, including a cumbersome tape-based backup system. While seeking a modern solution, the company ruled out the public cloud due to connectivity and security concerns for its critical production applications, leading them to partner with Nutanix.

Nutanix implemented its Enterprise Cloud Platform, a hyperconverged infrastructure that delivered cloud-like benefits on-premise. The solution included the Nutanix AHV hypervisor, which reduced licensing costs, and replaced tape backups with automated snapshots integrated with Commvault. This resulted in a 50% reduction in rack space, significantly less management overhead, and a far more stable and reliable IT environment that freed the team from constant firefighting to focus on business-supporting projects.
