Tractor Supply Co. gets power from Nutanix | #NEXTConf
by Heather Johnson | Jun 21, 2016
Stuck in an all too familiar IT predicament, Tractor Supply Co., (TSC), a well-known rural lifestyle retailer, found itself weighed down with multiple systems for compute, storage, and networking and legacy architecture.
After consulting with a handful of partners, including Nutanix, Inc., the company found a way to simplify. “We were moving workloads from legacy three-tier architectures to the enterprise cloud platform,” said Glenn Allison, TSC’s VP of Enterprise Architecture and IT Solution Delivery, of the phased implementation. “We decommissioned racks of legacy equipment. We significantly reduced our power and floor space, but at the same time, added capacity for growth.”
Allison told Stu Miniman (@stu) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Nutanix NEXT 2016 that TSC adds about 120 new stores a year, so it’s essential the company has systems in place to support that growth.
With implementation essentially complete, Allison said it migrated “the majority” of its workloads to Nutanix. It’s also running VMware and considering expanding its use of Nutanix Acropolis over time.
Allison said that TSC also incorporates public cloud as a backup. “We’re able to leverage the scale of the public cloud,” he said. “In our ecommerce environment, we can rapidly provision additional systems to support busy periods.”
