Case Study: Mercedes-Benz Türk achieves accelerated SAP HANA performance and future-proof IT infrastructure with NetApp EF560 All-Flash

Mercedes-Benz Türk accelerates performance with NetApp solutions and secures the future of its IT infrastructure

Mercedes-Benz Türk, a major foreign investor in Turkey with more than €1.14 billion invested and over 6,400 employees, needed to modernize its SAP environment after its SAP BPC on a standard relational database and SAS-disk virtual storage caused slow reporting and operational latency. The company chose to migrate to the SAP HANA in-memory database but required a storage platform that would eliminate performance bottlenecks and minimize disruption during the transition.

Mercedes‑Benz Türk deployed NetApp’s EF560 All‑Flash array (with 825,000 IOPS and sub‑microsecond latency), migrating from SAS to SSD storage to accelerate and shrink its database, reduce downtime, and future‑proof compatibility. The project completed on budget with fast, easy deployment; reporting times fell dramatically and overall system responsiveness and efficiency improved across the business.
