University of Northampton migrates multivendor infrastructure to Nutanix

Nutanix's dated UK press release and customer story state that the University of Northampton migrated from a complex multivendor legacy environment using Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, Cisco HyperFlex and vSAN to Nutanix, with a unified operational model and a 12-node production cluster.

Organisation
University of Northampton, United Kingdom
Predecessor
Complex multivendor infrastructure using Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, Cisco HyperFlex and vSAN
Destination
Unified Nutanix operational platform including the source-described 12-node production cluster across the university's two on-premises data centres
Workload
Nutanix Cloud Platform
Stage
operational
Evidence boundary: The 23 January 2025 Nutanix authority proves the bounded infrastructure migration had completed and was operational by that date. It does not establish the private exact cutover day, prove that every university application moved, or claim retirement of systems outside the source-described infrastructure estate.
