Case Study: Global Consulting and Systems Integrator Company achieves seamless, non-disruptive migration and a major outsourcing win with NetIQ PlateSpin Migrate

Global Consulting and Systems Integrator Company - Customer Case Study

A global consulting and systems integrator sought to expand its outsourcing business by offering clients a proven, non‑disruptive methodology to migrate, consolidate and relocate workloads—critical to winning large, competitive tenders from billion‑dollar enterprises. The company needed to move x86 workloads and SAP landscapes from UNIX- and mixed virtual/physical environments into its data center without disrupting production or increasing complexity.

By partnering with Micro Focus and SUSE, the firm deployed PlateSpin Migrate to rapidly move physical and virtual workloads (including across WANs) with minimal downtime, and used SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications to replatform SAP from UNIX to high‑performance x86 servers. The engagement enabled migration of thousands of business‑critical workloads within tight timeframes, helped win a major outsourcing deal, and kicked off new SAP transformation projects for clients.
