Falkirk Council’s Path to Cloud-First Success with Nutanix

Tasked with adopting Scotland’s Cloud-First strategy, Falkirk Council needed a solution that modernized its legacy infrastructure without the cost and disruption of a full public cloud migration. By leveraging Nutanix’s hyperconverged infrastructure and DaaS solutions like Frame, the Council built a flexible hybrid environment that reduced costs, improved agility, and paved the way for future cloud adoption.

Key Highlights:

• Transitioned 140+ physical servers to a modern Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Integrated Nutanix Files, Flow, and Mine for scale-out storage, security, and streamlined backups.
• Rapidly deployed Nutanix DaaS (Frame) to support Citrix alternatives and enable remote desktop access.
• Saved £40K per year on power costs in the first phase alone.
• Positioned for future public cloud adoption through Nutanix Clusters (NC2).

Falkirk Council achieved cost savings, improved system resilience, and a scalable IT environment—while aligning with the Scottish Government’s Cloud-First mandate. Discover how Falkirk Council’s hybrid approach with Nutanix is enabling long-term digital transformation.
