Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform Reduces Power
and Rack Space Costs by 62 Percent
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing,
today announced the celebration of a one-year collaboration with
the global garment manufacturing giant, TAL Apparel Limited (TAL
Apparel). By adopting the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform, TAL
Apparel is able to embrace IT transformation, significantly
reducing time required for IT infrastructure management, and focus
more resources on leading innovations in garment manufacturing.
Headquartered in Hong Kong with 11 factories across Asia, TAL
Apparel found it difficult for its legacy IT infrastructure for
business critical applications to keep up with the pace of its
business expansion in Asia. Complex issues in IT infrastructure and
shortage of skilled IT talent in local markets made it challenging
for TAL Apparel to maintain operations of their IT facilities in
new factories located in Asian high-growth markets such as
Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. To enhance operational efficiency
and support further business expansion, TAL Apparel began
identifying vendors to transform their IT operations and embrace a
simple, yet scalable IT infrastructure.
“With years of experience deploying legacy infrastructures in
multiple markets, we believe that web-scale, hyperconvergence and
cloud-like infrastructure should be our way moving forward. As we
expand our footprint across a number of growth markets, IT
infrastructures at our corporate offices and off-site locations
must operate with both simplicity and scalability in order to
ensure efficiency and give us peace of mind. The Nutanix Enterprise
Cloud Platform enabled us to evolve past our legacy IT
infrastructure and scale out anytime, anywhere.” said Mr. Kai
Kiang, Vice President, Information Technology of TAL Apparel
Limited. With the deployment of Nutanix solutions, all existing
applications, including the JBoss application server on Linux,
Apache webserver, IBM WebSphere application server, IBM DB2 and
file server, as well as network services including Windows Active
Directory, DHCP and DNS servers were successfully migrated to the
new platform.
Significant savings on resources
Having deployed the Nutanix solutions at the corporate offices
in Hong Kong and factories in eight countries across Asia over the
past year, TAL Apparel was able to reduce the time needed for
day-to-day infrastructure management by 65 percent, mainly from the
provisioning, as well as backup and restoring of virtual machines.
Moreover, by adopting Nutanix, the overall rack space is reduced by
82 percent. Within one year of adopting Nutanix solutions, TAL
Apparel was able to lower power consumption by 72 percent,
achieving an overall reduction of power and rack space costs of 62
percent. TAL Apparel’s IT administrators were also able to leverage
one-click non-disruptive upgrades and preventive alerts from
Nutanix, enabling them to reduce overall operating costs and time
spent on constant manual supervision across different
locations.
“We are thrilled to partner with TAL Apparel to help enhance
operational efficiency over the past year. Nutanix is committed to
supporting TAL Apparel’s continuous growth with our enterprise
cloud solutions, bringing more value to their IT environment. Our
enterprise cloud offerings not only allow TAL Apparel and other
customers to embrace the evolution of next generation enterprise IT
infrastructures with ease, our solutions also enable easy,
non-disruptive upgrades and automatic dispatch of preventive alerts
to ensure operational efficiency,” said Edward Yeung, Managing
Director, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Nutanix.
“As a company that operates 24/7 globally, we appreciate the
opportunity to be able to address any system failures or
corruptions before they even happen. With Nutanix, we are able to
design a combined compute and storage infrastructure mitigating
single point of system failures or corruptions, simplify the setup
and management for both local and corporate IT staffs. Nutanix is
very compatible with other legacy technology and applications,
allowing a smooth and trouble-free transition. Their
pay-as-you-grow purchasing model also allows us to plan resources
more effectively and scale out with ease,” Kiang added.
