BUSINESS BENEFITS
Indian stockbroking and financial services company Goldmine Stocks Pvt Ltd was able to consolidate all their hardware silos and applications seamlessly on one Nutanix platform in just 2 days. The benefits are felt immediately when its customer-facing trading applications and other mission-critical applications have considerably improved uptime and high availability.
“We used to run six racks of equipment but after we deployed the Nutanix platform, we were able to reduce it to two racks,” said Anubhav Mehta, Head of IT at Goldmine Stocks Pvt Ltd. “The Nutanix platform has also improved uptime for our applications and reduced downtime of our DC. My team used to be completely absorbed in maintaining independent hardware. Now they are free to concentrate on applications monitoring, analytics and many other initiatives for new and ongoing deployment and testing, productive work which was simply not possible earlier. Nutanix’s single-click upgrade has saved our weekends.”
Our partner, 7Array Solutions played an important role in realizing this project for Goldmine Stocks. The flexibility and scalability of Nutanix’s “pay as you grow” model is a great fit to the company and will help pave the way for Goldmine Stock’s future IT roadmap.
