Description

Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) have awarded a contract to replace their existing Citrix hypervisor hardware which is no longer supported by vendors for component replacements or security updates which means in the event of a system failure, there is no assurance that recovery could be achieved promptly; this includes Dell PowerEdge Servers and Pure Storage within the data centres at Glangwili General Hospital (GGH) and Withybush General Hospital (WGH).
The requirement is to facilitate a technology refresh and upgrade by replacing Dell and Pure Storage hardware with Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) which integrates compute, storage, and virtualisation into a single platform, simplifying management, whilst supporting the data centre team’s skillset to avoid retraining on multiple platforms. The contract term aligns with the contract relating to the data centres hardware and licencing which is due to expire at the end of October 2030. By standardising on Nutanix, HDUHB reduces the complexity of their environment and improves resilience.
