Before the pandemic hit last year, there were no city employees in Berkeley, Calif., who teleworked. Almost overnight, about 700 needed to find ways to connect from home to city systems.
The key to enabling that was an infrastructure modernization project that had recently wrapped up, said Berkeley’s IT Director Savita Chaudhary. Berkeley replaced an eight-year-old system with Nutanix’s hyperconverged platform.
“We needed to have a strong infrastructure in place because our infrastructure was pretty old,” Chaudhary said. The new system is scalable and easy to stand up, so “our application deployment time was reduced significantly,” she said.

Study Shows Financial Services Organizations’ Push Towards Hybrid Cloud Model is Built On Private Cloud Investments
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in private cloud, hybrid and multicloud computing, today announced the financial services industry findings of its third annual Enterprise Cloud Index Report, measuring organizations plans for adopting private, hybrid and public clouds. The findings point to a digital transformation within the industry, with half of respondents (50%) reporting that COVID-19 caused them to increase their investment in hybrid cloud.
The report also found that financial services organizations ranked security, privacy, and compliance issues as the most concerning when running applications within public cloud solutions (62%). Respondents were less concerned with public cloud capacity (30%), showing that while public cloud has the capabilities to support IT infrastructures, the security of sensitive data is non-negotiable, and organizations are looking for alternative solutions.
The industry’s confidence in the private cloud seems to be increasing, with nearly 50% of financial sector respondents say they’ve either fully deployed hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) or are in the process of doing so. Another 38% report they’ll deploy HCI within the next 12-24 months.
