Nutanix Enables Global Car Rental Company to
Increase Scalability and Help Ensure Business Continuity Amid
COVID-19 Pandemic
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in private cloud, hybrid cloud
and multicloud computing, announced today that Auto Europe, a
global leader in international car rental services, is implementing
Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software to support a
fully remote workforce amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as
improve system performances, enhance disaster recovery and simplify
management of their IT infrastructure.
Auto Europe serves travel agents and brokers at approximately
24,000 car rental locations in 180 countries around the world.
Their service enables customers and travel agents to search and
compare rates across leading car rental providers. With so many
customers and locations, Auto Europe needed a solution that would
improve scalability and performance. When the COVID-19 pandemic
struck they knew their solution could enable employees to work from
home and support their 24/7 call centers. Auto Europe was able to
seamlessly transition employees to work from anywhere and allowed
them to respond to customers quickly, improving the online
experience and increasing customer loyalty.
“Having the virtual desktop and Nutanix infrastructure in place
has given us the flexibility to transition seamlessly to a
completely remote workforce,” said Karen Schaffer, VP of eCommerce,
Auto Europe Group. “Had we not been forced into going 100% remote
so quickly because of the pandemic, we probably wouldn’t have done
it this soon. We were completely convinced it would be more of a
daunting task than it ended up being with Nutanix. The process was
seamless, and we were able to switch everyone to remote desktops
running on Nutanix in a matter of days.”
In addition to enabling employees to work from anywhere, Auto
Europe is now able to easily scale when new projects or contracts
are signed. Before Nutanix it could take them upwards of six months
to deploy new infrastructure, but now it takes less than two weeks.
All Auto Europe enterprise workloads are now running on Nutanix,
along with supporting about 660 virtual desktop infrastructure
(VDI) users. In addition to Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure
and VDI, Auto Europe also implemented Nutanix Files, a
software-defined scale-out file storage solution to support their
user data, file shares, profile data, shared systems, web and
application servers, system logs and more.
Moving from their 3-tier environment to Nutanix allowed the IT
team to increase the ease of management of their infrastructure. In
the past, the IT team would have to schedule maintenance windows to
complete any upgrade but now with Nutanix the upgrades are
transparent and allow employees to work as usual. These maintenance
tasks can now be completed without impacting the performance of
their critical e-commerce systems.
“Ensuring business continuity during a global pandemic has left
many organizations scrambling to find the right solutions. With
Nutanix already implemented, Auto Europe was able to quickly and
seamlessly enable employees to work from anywhere,” said Nikola
Bozinovic, VP/GM, Desktop Services at Nutanix. “By partnering with
Nutanix, Auto Europe was able to remain proactive during these
unprecedented times and continue to serve their customers without
fail.”
Despite the challenges that COVID-19 has presented, Auto Europe
has been able to quickly adapt and continue serving customers.
Additionally, thanks to Nutanix, the IT team has been able to focus
on developing new technology to support the business, rather than
simply maintaining the IT infrastructure.
