Tsingtao Brewery in China Selects Nutanix

Nutanix, Inc. announced that Tsingtao Brewery Co. Ltd., China’s second-largest brewer, had chosen the vendor to help streamline their management and enhance reliability of mission critical systems for their more than 60 breweries across the country.

China is home to the world’s largest beer market by volume, and is the center of intense competition. To face it, many companies focus on innovation to meet consumer demands.

“The quality of our beer is matched only by the quality of our IT systems, and Nutanix has been instrumental and a true ally in our digital transformation,” said Xu Haiqing, head of information management department, Tsingtao Brewery. “As a global leader in the beer industry, we have placed great emphasis on modern IT infrastructure. We now have an advanced IT platform that provides the confidence and assurance to match our ambitions.“

In an on-going effort to improve product quality, service and management, and create more value for consumers, the customer launched an initiative to upgrade its core business operations and support a retail model.

Prior to Nutanix, Tsingtao’s infrastructure was able to maintain operations, but the company needed a solution that could support innovation while meeting its strict technical and operational standards.

Having the right infrastructure in place would allow them the opportunity to drive sustainable growth and profitability, both nationally and internationally.

Since implementing Nutanix, Tsingtao is able to extend their IT infrastructure while feeling confident that business operations will remain up and running. By adding nodes to their infrastructure, it is able to expand their computing and storage resources as they see fit. Time spent on IT operations and maintenance have been reduced, due to Nutanix’s 1-click capabilities, performance and enhanced security, allowing the IT team to focus on business research and innovation.

“Tsingtao Brewery is a true Chinese leader and innovator,” said Lily Ma, MD, China. “Many of our traditional enterprises are cautious when it comes to disrupting their business and the status quo. Tsingtao Brewery embraces the opportunity by leveraging technology to drive innovation and the ultimate customer experience.“

Going forward, both companies look to continue driving the brewer’s digital transformation and ensuring the company has the best technology available to provide a customer experience.
