Enhancing electoral services

The Fijian Elections Office (FEO) collects and stores huge volumes of voter registration and electoral data. To support upcoming local and general elections, the FEO replaced aging server and storage systems with a modern hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) based on Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series with Nutanix Cloud Platform.

Customer Problem

With its previous IT infrastructure approaching end-of-life, the FEO had begun to experience performance and capacity issues—particularly in relation to data storage.

Lenovo Solution

Partner VirtualFlex Fiji determined that the best way to future-proof the FEO’s data center was to move away from its existing three-tier architecture to an HCI solution based on Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series with Nutanix Cloud Platform.

Business Impact

The move to HCI has transformed the FEO’s IT operations, bringing big improvements to capacity, performance, and resiliency in a smaller, more cost-effective footprint that is much easier
to manage.

“Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series with Nutanix Cloud Platform has made life so much easier for me and my team. We have ample compute and storage resources to support operations and much less physical hardware to manage.”

Asish Prakash, Manager IT Infrastructure, Fijian Elections Office
