BART selected Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform to simplify and consolidate operations and deployment, as well as deliver the scalability required to support its needs as a transit system that averages 129 million trips a year.

BART chief investment officer Ravi Misra said: “When we first set out to build our own in-house enterprise Cloud, we realised we would need products from six different vendors to build a solution that none of them would own.

“Nutanix was able to deliver what those six different vendors could and more, since we are also able to take advantage of their excellent customer service when challenges arise.”

"Transportation infrastructure can benefit greatly from the enterprise Cloud, which delivers business transformation through scalable, easy-to-use services."

The solution powers BART’s Oracle-based HR, finance and mission critical maintenance systems and delivers on-demand compute.
