To improve the overall IT efficiency, IBM has announced that stainless steel products manufacturer Viraj Profiles has implemented its smarter computing solutions.
Viraj Profiles has selected IBM to help them deploy IBM Power System while migrating from Fujitsu x86 to unix on the AIX platform. The IBM Power7 System uses P700 and P710 servers along with Storwize V7000 storage to give a complete solution to businesses to manage their workload and create a robust environment to run their business. The integrated combination of the POWER architecture and PowerVM makes possible far higher consolidation ratios and virtualization solutions.
Jyothi Satyanathan, Director of Midmarket and Inside Sales, IBM India/South Asia, said, Our clients recognize that, in today's business environment, technology can provide a valuable competitive edge and help them to differentiate. We believe that this IBM Smarter Computing solution will help Viraj Profiles fully leverage the potential of its ERP system, reach its business goals today and pave the way for its success in the future.
With the goal to raise stainless steel capacity in the coming years, we needed to run our SAP ERP system on an IT infrastructure we could rely on. Our previous solution gave us problems with several systems – order booking, resource planning, sales and stocks monitoring, product launches. By migrating to IBM AIX on IBM Power systems, and using IBM Storage, we expect to decrease total cost of ownership for our ERP applications by 10–15 percent," said V. J. Rao, President & CIO, Viraj Profiles
By providing training on the AIX platform, IBM will help Viraj Profiles to implement the solution faster.
