Modernizing IT Infrastructure While Maintaining Control

Overhead view of a business team meeting with laptops and documents

This lumber manufacturing company was dealing with aging infrastructure just as its VMware renewal came due. With support already expired and a major hardware investment ahead, the IT team needed a cost-effective and sustainable path forward without giving up control. The team was also interested in Nutanix but lacked experience deploying it on its own. The company moved to Expedient Cloud Powered by Nutanix, giving it a modern platform while maintaining hypervisor-level administrative control. Expedient DRaaS added replication and live failover testing to strengthen resilience.
