2021: Scaling Nutanix Hyperconvergent Infrastructure

On October 11, 2021, Nutanix announced that the Angara group of companies has scaled and expanded the use of Nutanix hyperconvergent infrastructure to ensure business growth. Angara uses Nutanix as a single platform for the provision of internal and client services, including managed information security services.

The virtualized Nutanix environment houses development and testing environments, managed IB services, and enterprise applications for more than 200 employees. Ease of management and flexible resource allocation enabled 42% faster provisioning of test environments for projects. The company also notes a decrease in the labor intensity of administration by 37%

Excellent scalability is one of the main qualities of Nutanix. When approaching the limits of the current configuration, we used horizontal scaling capabilities. Cluster expansion and resource addition occurred automatically and did not require additional settings. In addition, excellent visualization and predictability allow us to make extensions in advance, avoiding productivity degradation or the inability to provide the required capacity, "said Nadezhda Pruchkina, information technology director at Angara Group of Companies.

As of October 2021, the Angara group of companies uses a cluster of 6 nodes in a mixed configuration of HDD and Flash drives. Within it, 217 resource pools are allocated for various departments that together use more than 1000 virtual machines, about half of them are constantly involved.

We are very pleased that Angara not only chose Nutanix for its latest generation data center, but also in such a short time received a tangible benefit due to the performance and reliability of the infrastructure. This allows our customers to respond to market challenges, be flexible, and respond instantly to new business demands. In addition, the simplicity and comprehensive transparency of the management environment allow you to carefully and efficiently use and plan the growth of corporate data center resources, "said Nutanix Regional Director in Russia and SNGURI Aristarkhov.
