Case Study: Audi achieves faster, greener SAP operations with IBM Power Systems and DB2

A IBM Case Study

Audi gears up for continued success with IBM private cloud

AUDI AG, a leading global car manufacturer, faced challenges with the efficiency and scalability of its sprawling IT infrastructure. Its SAP environment had grown to around 100 separate systems running on HP servers with Oracle databases, leading to high costs and complexity. To improve performance, reduce expenses, and create a greener, more flexible infrastructure ready for a private cloud, Audi turned to vendor IBM for a solution.

The solution involved a large-scale migration of Audi's SAP systems to an IBM Power Systems and IBM DB2 platform. IBM successfully migrated over 100 systems to the new infrastructure in just six months with no business disruption. The results were significant, including storage savings of 50-70%, a 20-40% reduction in energy requirements, and vastly improved system performance and flexibility, providing Audi with a robust platform for future growth.
