Emirates National Oil Company (Enoc) Group, a leading global energy player, says it has centralised its IT infrastructure on Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, for retail expansion and to deliver what is described as a slick digitally driven customer experience.
Serving thousands of customers across 60 markets, Enoc employs a workforce of over 12,000 employees.
At the core of Enoc's business are its service stations. However, says Nutanix, siloed IT infrastructure was deployed at each of these service stations to deliver the digital services needed. The lack of redundancy and centralised management contributed to significant IT overheads and risk as the company rapidly scaled its retail operations.
Backed by the expertise of Nutanix’s local team, Enoc has deploy Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) a complete software stack that unifies hybrid cloud infrastructure including compute, storage and network, hypervisors, and containers, in public, managed, and on-premises private clouds – as well as Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) and the vendor’s disaster recovery solution.
Furthermore, the new partnership will include implementation of Nutanix Cloud Manager System (NCM), which will minimise any IT related issues, given the high demand of requests.
Following the upgrade, Nutanix’s unified infrastructure eliminated the siloed IT infrastructure at each of Enoc’s retail outlets. The centralised management, made possible by NCM, has delivered a claimed 80% reduction in IT operation costs across the 400-plus sites that are now served by Nutanix’s solution.
The high availability and impressive levels of redundancy and resilience made possible by Nutanix mean that Enoc’s service stations can now operate around the clock without disruption to the services they deliver.
