“Our Nutanix journey started more than a decade ago as a move away from traditional three-tier infrastructure, andtoday the platform supports around 90% of our on-premises environment. We've progressively moved from VMware to AHV, consolidated our core enterprise applications, and expanded the platform to support GPU-enabled teaching and research, self-service infrastructure, and hybrid cloud. What has worked particularly well for us is having a platform that can reliably support the University's critical systems while continuing to evolve with our needs in areas such as AI, automation, and cloud native.”
