Major Smart Device Maker Breaks Storage
Bottleneck to Deliver Business Value with 3x Latency Reduction
Nutanix (NASDAQ:NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing,
today announced that Xiaomi, the world's 5th largest smartphone
maker, has addressed long-standing storage performance issues by
replacing its legacy three-tier IT infrastructure with the Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud Platform.
Despite early adoption of virtualisation, the legacy three-tier
infrastructure hosting Xiaomi’s business critical applications
including Microsoft Exchange, MS SQL Server and SAP Business Suite,
was struggling to cope with exponential growth in demand. The
traditional SAN storage was quickly identified as the main
bottleneck, even after upgrading to all-flash arrays. By switching
to the highly scalable and robust Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform
with distributed storage architecture, Xiaomi managed to remove the
long-standing issues. As a result, the smartphone maker has
dramatically improved the performance of business-critical
workloads while delivering return on investment (ROI) and savings
through Nutanix Prism, a single management pane for both compute
and storage resources.
The decision by Xiaomi to replace its entire three-tier
infrastructure with the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform was taken
after a thorough competitive analysis and a two-month testing.
According to Wu Jiaqing, Head of the Xiaomi System Group,
Infrastructure Architecture Department, “The benefits were both
immediate and substantial.”
“Following the installation of the new Nutanix platform we have
seen an immediate 200% leap in data throughput,” Wu Jiaqing
reported. “In addition, we’ve seen an equally impressive three-fold
reduction in latency with huge knock-on effects when it comes to
deploying new applications – now being measured in hours instead of
weeks.”
Xiaomi has also significantly reduced the physical occupancy and
power consumption of its data centres, with a 70% reduction in rack
occupancy and 30% saving in cooling and power requirements.
Additionally, the Nutanix solution, with its simplicity and
convenience of management, has halved the workload of IT support
staff, allowing them to devote more time and energy to business
innovation.
“For companies considering a virtualisation platform or building
an on-premise cloud, Nutanix is the best choice for both technology
and application,” said Wu Jiaqing. “The outstanding performance,
easy management and quick deployment of the Nutanix Enterprise
Cloud Platform has enabled us to finally address our storage issues
and make some very impressive savings. More importantly, it has
allowed the business to focus on what it does best – innovating for
the benefits of our customers.”
