When the Provincial Council of Granada decided to upgrade its IT infrastructure, they were looking for a solution capable of serving both the institution itself and the 174 municipalities under its jurisdiction. The challenge was to replace a legacy infrastructure with a modern, scalable platform distributed across two data centres, whilst ensuring the continuity of public services at all times.

Telefónica designed, deployed, and evolved a private cloud architecture based on Nutanix technology. We selected this technology for its hardware flexibility, centralised management model, and its 100% software-based architecture.

The project was carried out in several phases, incorporating advanced capabilities in virtualisation, distributed storage, integrated backup, cross-data centre replication, and unified management of the entire platform.

The result is a robust infrastructure, ready to grow progressively and capable of supporting the digital services of one of Andalusia’s leading public administrations. More than five years on, the project continues to expand to meet new technological and business needs.
