Case Study: Top-Ranking City in North Carolina cuts costs and boosts storage with SHI's Lenovo/Nutanix hyperconverged solution

North Carolina City Cuts Costs and Improves Data Center Performance by Switching to Hyperconverged Platform

Top-Ranking City in North Carolina, supported by SHI International Corp., was running out of storage space in its SQL Server environment. With one Lenovo server hosting all 16 databases for more than 44,000 residents and 450 end users, the city needed a more scalable and reliable way to keep critical public services running.

SHI International Corp. analyzed the environment and recommended a hyperconverged solution using three Lenovo Converged HX3310 Nutanix Appliances. The deployment increased available storage by 12 TB, saved the city more than $50K, and provided a simpler, easier-to-manage platform that integrated with its Hyper-V environment while reducing operational burden for the small IT staff.
