Enterprise Cloud Platform Helps Drive Revenues
and Improve Operational Efficiency
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing,
announced ongoing success of service providers globally with its
Enterprise Cloud Platform. Nutanix solutions align with service
providers’ business model including fast performance and linear
scaling, 1-click operational simplicity and predictive analytics,
and flexible purchasing options.
Service providers play an important role in delivering IT
services in an increasingly competitive and dynamic market. IDC
estimates* IaaS and PaaS services delivered by service providers to
be approximately USD $81.9 billion by 2020. IT organizations of all
sizes have been relying on service provider to help control costs,
accommodate changing business needs, and better focus on their core
business needs.
However, many service provider environments are dealing with the
complexity and inherent limitations of conventional IT
architectures; still rely on silos of infrastructure managed by
teams of administrators with specialized skillsets—ranging from
networking to storage to virtualization and so on. As a result,
tasks such as onboarding new customers or troubleshooting issues
can require substantial effort and time, affecting customer SLAs,
driving up costs and reducing customer satisfaction. For service
providers to be successful and build well-differentiated and
profitable services, they have to be able to take advantage of
cutting-edge web-scale technologies and continuous innovation,
typical in large service providers such as Amazon Web Services.
As a part of the Nutanix X-Powered program, the company has been
working with service providers worldwide to build profitable
services, leveraging web-scale engineering and consumer-grade
design. Here are some customer examples:
ASP Serveur, from France, is a Digital
Dimension hosting business unit of Digital Dimension Group, and
provides data center co-location, private and public cloud
services.
One of the primary limitations they encountered with their
existing legacy technology was the need for additional resources to
manage the whole infrastructure - one for the network, one for the
system, and one more for the storage. The significant advantage
with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud is that they are able to deploy and
manage the whole solution with just one resource, making it much
more cost effective.

“We experimented with all major solutions, such as EMC,
Compellent, or [HPE] BladeSystems. But with all those major
solutions, we lost performance when we expanded,” said Sebastian
Enderle, President, ASP Serveur Company.
Nabil Rizk, Technical Manager, added “Nutanix was our choice
because it was the leading enterprise [solution] in
hyperconvergence. What we loved was the simplicity and scalability
we have with the solution. Earlier with the other solution, we had
to get a technician to install racks, to plan that with the
constructor and with the solution. With Nutanix, we install the
server, we rack it in the system, we connect to the cluster, and
with two clicks, it’s done.”
Micro Logic, a Canadian service provider, needed a
reliable and easily managed infrastructure solution for new IaaS
offering that would provide the ability to begin with a small
deployment and scale quickly with demand.

“We looked at providing IaaS the traditional way, with separate
servers, SANs, and switches, but that approach would have required
us to make a large upfront investment without knowing how many
customers we would be serving,” said Guy Gagnon, VP of Service at
Micro Logic. “So instead of investing heavily at first, we needed a
more flexible solution that would allow us to grow our service and
costs incrementally.”
“Nutanix is the easiest part ... in terms of deployment and
day-to-day management,” noted Gagnon. “By choosing Nutanix, we
obtained an easily scalable, reliable, and powerful solution for
our new IaaS offering—at an excellent price. It’s great that we
don’t have to worry about that piece of our infrastructure
anymore.”
JSC Kazakhtelecom, from Kazakhstan, was relying on a
traditional 3-tier architecture environment, with legacy servers,
SAN networking infrastructure, and an aging SAN storage system.
Their IT management team started looking for new computing
infrastructure that could support all mission-critical
applications, database information, and decision-making systems for
the company’s operational and analytical monthly reporting
divisions. High availability and speed of reporting were the two
most important factors in choosing the new technology solution.

“The process of preparing the test environment took less than
one day,” noted Sergey Ivashov, Director of Corporate Information
Systems at JSC Kazakhtelecom. “Nutanix surpassed all of the
criteria on our list of requirements,” Ivashov reported. “In
addition to the high performance and availability, hyperconverged
systems take far less space than our previous 3-tier solution. One
NX-3000 system occupies just two rack units and consumes only one
kilowatt of electrical power, enabling us to reduce our ongoing
operational expenses.”
Nutanix partners were able to configure the new cluster in just
three hours. “The process involved only one engineer from our side,
engaged in the task of tracking the analysis system,” noted
Ivashov. “All of our vital business analytics, including our Oracle
databases and SAP BusinessObjects, have now been migrated to the
Nutanix platform. By moving to Nutanix, we were able to reduce the
time required for run the analysis by 3-5x.”
