Case Study: Sonalika International Tractors achieves 99.999% availability, faster SAP performance and scalable infrastructure with IBM

Sonalika International Tractors Ltd. Exceptional growth needs an exceptional infrastructure

Sonalika International Tractors, a global leader in agricultural mechanization, needed to upgrade its long-running SAP landscape (preparing to move to SAP S/4HANA) and modernize an aging IT infrastructure so it could keep pace with rapid, sustained growth. Sonalika engaged IBM (with Business Partner Integrated Tech9labs) and chose IBM Power Systems and IBM storage and protection technologies—including an IBM Power System S922, IBM FlashSystem 5010, IBM Spectrum Protect and an IBM TS4300 Tape Library—to underpin its critical back‑office systems.

IBM and Tech9labs implemented a virtualized SAP environment on the IBM Power S922 with FlashSystem storage and Spectrum Protect/TS4300 backup, boosting SAP processing speeds, reducing user wait times and delivering a highly scalable architecture. The IBM solution raised resilience and continuity—achieving 99.999% availability for critical systems—improved key back‑office performance, and provided the capacity Sonalika needs to support its continued exponential growth and the upcoming SAP S/4HANA migration.
