Key results requirements for the next four years at the very least . “ And this is all while enabling us to use the excess capacity at our DR site as a test environment . Because we can spin up VMs with little to no effort , Nutanix serves as a test bed for us to rapidly test new applications that we can then confidently roll out to our employees and customers .”
Reliability instils confidence
With Nutanix deployed in its Disaster Recovery site , MNH now enjoys a near-zero RPO and a significant enhancement to RTO .
“ Previously , a complete restore would take up to 24 hours from our Disaster Recovery site to our main data centre . In comparison , Nutanix achieves the same in under five minutes ”, said D ’ Souza . “ Given the scale of our operations , and the volume of customer enquiries and sales we service every minute , having the capability to recover from any down time within a few minutes justifies our investment .”
Moreover , citing an example of how the rapid , proactive support from Nutanix ensures it is ‘ Business as usual ’ even when things do go wrong , D ’ Souza said : “ We once had a node
• Reduced TCO and complexity : Replaced complex multi-vendor infrastructure with a cost-effective , easy-to-manage environment
• Increased performance : Ensures high performance of digital services for customers and employees and supports resourcehungry workloads
• Enhanced reliability : Reduced RTO from 24 hours to under five minutes ensuring availability of critical applications and data go down in our DR site due to a process being corrupted . Nutanix ’ s remote support team identified and diagnosed the issue before we even raised a ticket , and within just three days , we had a new node installed without need for intervention by my team , or any impact on our operations .”
Next steps
“ We ’ ve been incredibly impressed by the speed of deployment , performance and ease of use of Nutanix . Consequently , we are now in the process of replicating this success and implementing Nutanix for our two sister companies – Greenfields Agriculture and Hydrotek Engineering ,” said D ’ Souza .
As per the compliance requirements of some of its partner brands , MNH is required to backup data and applications to the cloud . “ This is another area that we ’ re exploring as we are keen to leverage our Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure to facilitate backups to Microsoft Azure .”
“ We expect MNH to continue its expansion through strategic investments and acquisitions . Usually , the consolidation of IT systems associated with such activities introduce IT complexity ,” D ’ Souza added . “ But given how easy app migration is on the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure , my team and I are confident we can effortlessly support these needs of the business as it continues to grow .”
“ In my experience , it is the perfect combination of market-leading technology , with highly-dedicated local expertise that makes Nutanix such a capable and reliable Digital Transformation partner ,” D ’ Souza concluded . �
