CHALLENGES

• Inherent complexity: As a growing company, Company X corporate IT infrastructure expands accordingly as new elements are incorporated which initiated complexity on the IT infrastructure over a period. Managing complex IT environments can be complicated and time-consuming.
• Inefficient silos: In the critical environment of a data centre, multiple silo’s IT infrastructure can have predictable results. From an operational perspective, compute, storage, networking in an isolation to scale their requirement without considering the infrastructure implications, it can lead to capacity, incompatibility and stability issues or, in the worst-case scenario, complete system overload.
• Forklift scaling: Forklift scaling are complete overhauls of the IT infrastructure: old and end of life infrastructure components is ripped out and replaced with the latest technology. Forklift scaling is driven by architectural incompatibilities between storage generations or limitations in scale-out architectures that can’t add new nodes to existing arrays or clusters.
• Painful management: Legacy infrastructure—with separate storage, storage networks, and servers—is not well suited to meet the growing demands of enterprise applications or the fast pace of modern business. The silos created by traditional infrastructure have become a barrier to change and progress, adding complexity to every step, from ordering to deployment to management.

SOLUTIONS

Nutanix HCI Solution: Nutanix converges the entire datacentre stack, including compute, storage, storage networking, and virtualization. Complex and expensive legacy infrastructure is replaced by Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) running on state-of-the-art, industry-standard servers that enable enterprises to start small and scale one node at a time. Each server, also known as a node, includes Intel-powered x86 hardware with flash SSDs and HDDs. Nutanix software running on each server node distributes all operating functions across the cluster for superior performance and resilience.

OUTCOME

• Inherent complexity eliminated by Datacentre Consolidation Compute, Storage, and Network.
• Breaking Down Silos across Cloud, On-Premises, and Edge.
• Single vendor to connect.
• 51% cheaper than cloud-native, 43% than 3-tier on prem
