Case Study: Zycom Technology achieves 72% lower VDI latency and 33% lower managed support costs with Nutanix

Zycom Technology - Customer Case Study

Zycom Technology Inc., a two-decade IT transformation partner, faced a turning point as the industry moved to software-defined storage. Their Tier III VDI approach caused high latency, increased SSD requirements, and made VDIs hard to configure and maintain, while reduced product pull cost them about $21,000 in additional contracts per sale.

Zycom adopted Nutanix for multi-hypervisor support, distributed caching (Shadow Clones), Prism management, and faster backups/DR, then migrated their own data center. The change cut latency by 72%, reduced managed-support costs by 33% versus Tier III, removed the need for extensive engineer training, and helped Nutanix solutions grow to nearly 30% of Zycom’s business.
