Case Study: Calzedonia Group achieves 99.99% uptime and lower IT costs with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications

Calzedonia Group - Customer Case Study

Calzedonia Group, the Italian fashion retailer, wanted to support rapid international expansion, but its aging IBM AS/400-based ERP system could not handle growing data volumes across its stores, production sites, and customers. The company needed reliable, easy-to-manage information to improve decision-making and stay competitive, and it chose SUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications to underpin its new SAP ERP environment.

SUSE implemented SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications in a virtualized SAP landscape, helping Calzedonia Group create a scalable, resilient platform with integrated support. The result was 99.99% uptime for business-critical SAP systems, a 70% reduction in hardware acquisition costs, and a 90% reduction in hardware maintenance costs, while also improving productivity and enabling continued international growth.
