Solution

To overcome the challenges it was facing due to the heterogenous IT environment , ASE decided to implement a virtual environment based on Nutanix solutions . According to Sodah , Nutanix proved to be the best option from both the technical as well as financial perspectives .

“ We were especially impressed with how Nutanix ensured high availability and enabled us to implement stretch clustering between different geographical locations . Stretch expansion and upgrade issues ASE previously faced with its old IT infrastructure .

“ We went from 42U racks in each site – fully mounted with legacy servers , storage and controllers – to just 4U of servers running Nutanix AOS , including AHV hypervisor and hosting all our applications . This of course has resulted in massive energy and space savings ,” Sodah added .

In addition to this significant reduction in operational expenses , the five-year licensing and support terms provided by Nutanix offers ASE the potential to save over US $ 56,000 per year . “ Currently we also utilise a hyperconvergence solution from another vendor with whom we spend over 40,000 clustering meant that despite having two sites – both running in active-active mode – VM migration was seamless . Our entire implementation was completed without issue within just two weeks ,” he said .

Customer outcomes

Implementing Nutanix ’ s hyperconverged infrastructure-based Cloud Platform immediately addressed the maintenance ,

Jordanian dinar ( US $ 56,000 ) annually on licenses . Based on the impressive results that Nutanix has delivered , we are considering moving entirely to AHV within the next two to three years which will enable us to eliminate this annual fee ,” he said .

Nutanix has enabled ASE to consolidate its compute , storage and networking into an all-in-one platform that is easily controlled and monitored via a single dashboard .
