Case Study: Finance Car Retailing Company achieves lower costs and better application performance with SHI and Nutanix

Car Retailer and Finance Company Use Hyperconverged Technology to Fix Network Latency

Finance Car Retailing Company, a large car dealer providing financing options to customers, was dealing with network latency, slow applications, and compute issues caused by aging hardware across 140 locations and 5,000 end-users. With a limited budget and growing infrastructure needs, the company needed a more scalable and cost-effective way to modernize its server, storage, and networking environment.

SHI International Corp. recommended a Nutanix Hyperconverged Infrastructure solution, along with a Cisco upgrade, to consolidate infrastructure into a single appliance and simplify management. SHI International Corp. and Nutanix helped the customer cut total cost of ownership, improve network performance, and reduce storage footprint, while enabling linear scaling and faster expansion turnaround from six weeks to 14 business days; the company also eliminated the need for an OEM-certified specialist.
