Washington Fire Department

< Back to All Case Studies

A local fire department in the state of Washington was facing a costly hardware refresh and a Broadcom license renewal. The fire department wanted to move away from Broadcom and VMware after the acquisition raised concerns about the unpredictability of support and rising costs.

Customer Snapshot

  • Industry: City Government
  • Location: Washington State, USA
  • Company size: 51-200 employees

The Challenge

  • A fragmented IT environment, combined with rising hardware costs and unpredictable support, led to a hardware refresh and platform migration for critical applications.
  • Upgrading technology systems and migrating critical workloads so that they can be more affordable, scalable, and flexible.

The Solution

  • Complete upgrade of the existing IT infrastructure
  • Migration from a fragmented environment to the Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor platform.

Saying Goodbye to Fragmented Infrastructure
