Overview

A leading engineering consultancy in the Oil & Gas sector modernized its IT infrastructure by adopting Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) to support the growing demands of its large-scale design and engineering operations.
The company specializes in designing processing, refining, petrochemical, and LNG/LPG plants, where performance, scalability, and uptime are critical for handling complex 3D engineering workloads.

Challenge

The organization was operating on a traditional three-tier architecture that had reached its limits. As project workloads grew, provisioning new resources became increasingly time-consuming and expensive.

Key challenges included:

Slow IT provisioning: Scaling new servers took months.
Aging hardware: Over half of the existing servers were nearing end-of-life.
High operational costs: Frequent hardware refreshes strained budgets.
Limited agility: The rigid infrastructure made scaling and resource management cumbersome.

The organization needed an infrastructure that could keep pace with business growth, simplify operations, and reduce the total cost of ownership — without compromising on performance or reliability.

The Solution

After evaluating multiple solutions, the company partnered with Network Techlab to deploy Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure — an all-in-one solution that combines compute, storage, virtualization, and cloud management in a unified platform.

The deployment included:

Nutanix AOS storage and AHV virtualization for integrated compute and storage performance.
Nutanix Prism for unified management and intelligent operations.
Seamless migration of critical workloads, including engineering management servers, virtualization workloads, and enterprise applications — with zero downtime.

With expert guidance from Network Techlab, the transition was completed smoothly, ensuring compatibility with existing systems and no disruption to ongoing operations.

The Results

The move to Nutanix HCI delivered immediate and measurable benefits:

Faster provisioning: New resources can now be deployed in days instead of months.
Cost reduction: Overall IT ownership costs were reduced by 25%.
Efficiency boost: Hardware footprint reduced by 90%, and energy consumption lowered by up to 40%.
Improved agility: The IT team can now respond quickly to new project demands and focus on innovation instead of maintenance.
Zero downtime: Migration completed seamlessly with uninterrupted business operations.

Conclusion

By shifting to Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, the engineering firm successfully modernized its IT foundation — achieving higher agility, lower costs, and improved operational efficiency.
The new environment enables the company to deliver projects faster, scale effortlessly for future workloads, and empower engineering teams with the performance they need to drive innovation.
