Case Study: Langs Building Supplies achieves 53% lower TCO and virtualized 3D CAD desktops with VMware

Langs Building Supplies Empowers Workforce with VMware Horizon, NVIDIA GRID, and the Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform

Langs Building Supplies, a Queensland-based supplier and fabricator serving the construction industry with nearly 400 employees, needed to modernize an aging server, storage, and desktop estate. The company sought a scalable, easy-to-manage converged infrastructure to consolidate underutilized resources, support geographically distributed users, and deliver graphics‑intensive 3D CAD performance for designers while enabling secure remote access.

Langs deployed VMware Horizon on a Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform (NX‑3000/NX‑7000) with NVIDIA GRID K1 cards to virtualize desktops for task, power, and CAD users. The solution enabled 3D CAD virtual desktops, cut power costs by 96%, reduced rack space by 83%, delivered a 53% lower TCO, saved AUD$350,000 in IT staffing, and improved security, availability and linear scalability—allowing rapid site provisioning and measurable productivity gains.
