Case Study: Mohawk Industries achieves improved SAP HANA performance and lower infrastructure costs with Red Hat

Mohawk Industries Harnesses the Power of Data With SAP Hana and Red Hat

Mohawk Industries, the global flooring manufacturer, needed a scalable, cost-effective, and supported way to expand its SAP HANA environment beyond analytics into ERP and other critical workloads. The company also wanted better support for its growing, acquisition-driven IT landscape and a more reliable platform for critical operations. Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA and Red Hat Satellite were part of the solution.

Red Hat implemented a standardized Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA environment, along with the High Availability and Smart Management add-ons, to improve failover, centralize management, and reduce complexity. With Red Hat, Mohawk doubled data processing performance, reduced infrastructure needed to support SAP HANA by 30%, and enabled real-time access to data for sales teams. Red Hat also helped Mohawk strengthen stability and security while supporting future expansion of its SAP HANA footprint.
