Case Study: Ctac achieves real-time analytics and 95% faster SAP HANA deployment with IBM Power Systems

Driving competitive advantage with real-time applications, enabled by SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems

Ctac, an ICT solution provider and SAP Value Added Reseller, needed to give its customers real‑time business insights and process innovation without large up‑front infrastructure costs. To achieve this, Ctac partnered with IBM to build a cloud offering based on SAP HANA running on IBM Power Systems (including IBM Power System E870, IBM PowerVM virtualization and IBM Storwize storage), enabling in‑memory analytics and scalable, pay‑per‑use SAP platforms.

Working with IBM, Ctac implemented SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems with IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Easy Tier to optimize performance and availability. The IBM‑based solution delivered dramatic results: deployment times cut by 95%, up to 1000x performance improvements for analytic workloads, reduced operational overhead and new business opportunities for Ctac to scale and run thousands of SAP systems in a reliable, flexible cloud model.
