Case Study: Balluff achieves faster analytics and better business insight with IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration
A IBM Case Study
Balluff GmbH delivers high-speed information with IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration in a private cloud
Balluff GmbH, a world-leading manufacturer of sensor solutions, faced slow data processing that hindered timely business insights and threatened to disrupt operations as nightly jobs ran into business hours. To overcome these challenges and accelerate information delivery, the company partnered with IBM to modernize its SAP environment and data strategy.
IBM implemented a comprehensive solution around IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration, supported by IBM Power servers and IBM FlashSystem storage. The results were transformative: complex report runtimes were cut by up to 98%, SAP ERP response times were halved, and access to business documents became five times faster. This performance boost provided Balluff executives with near real-time information, dramatically improving decision-making and operational agility.
