Client Overview
This city government client serves more than 90,000 residents, sprawling suburban communities, and industrial centers across a vast county. The city previously relied on a traditional 3-tier architecture running legacy software. They faced increasing costs, management complexity, and performance bottlenecks as their infrastructure aged out due to its monolithic and inflexible nature.
“We’re impressed and thankful to IMPEX for helping us upgrade our systems. Now city workers can easily access their data without having to log in to multiple systems. Also, there’s a huge plus in saving taxpayer dollars on top of the great work they did to get us up to speed in the IT department.”

Business Challenge
The city’s legacy infrastructure struggled to support its growing application demands. They required a more scalable, cost-effective, and simplified solution that could handle dynamic workloads more efficiently. Moreover, migration demands proved challenging to complete without any data loss.
Solution Implemented
IMPEX Technologies proposed migrating the city’s outdated systems to Nutanix’s hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) with Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor. This innovative solution allowed city employees to access and run multiple virtual machines on a powerful, single physical system.
The Nutanix solution merged the city’s 3-tier architecture into a single, scalable platform that integrated storage, networking, and computing into one seamless environment. The shift to Acropolis Hypervisor eliminated expensive legacy system licensing costs and simplified overall management through a multicloud management interface, Nutanix Prism.
Results Achieved
- Cost Savings: The city saved 30% annually by eliminating VMware licensing fees and reducing power and cooling costs.
- Improved Performance: Application performance improved by 40% due to Nutanix’s distributed storage architecture, reducing latency.
- Operational Efficiency: The IT team now spends 50% less time on infrastructure management, thanks to Prism’s unified console and automation features.
- Scalability: The city easily scaled its infrastructure to meet growing demand without hardware over-provisioning.
Conclusion
Thanks to IMPEX’s recommendations and smooth implementation, the Nutanix HCI platform with AHV integrated the city’s infrastructure into one robust and flexible system. The upgrade transformed day-to-day operations, delivering significant cost savings, simplified management, and enhanced performance, positioning them for future growth and efficient public service to businesses, industry, and residents.
