Case Study: Ciclum Farma achieves 50% lower SAP operating costs with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

Ciclum Farma - Customer Case Study

Ciclum Farma, a Portuguese pharmaceutical company, needed to keep its SAP ERP systems running around the clock while facing rising pressure on margins and growing IT complexity. To support sales, distribution, and inventory operations, the company turned to Suse, using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension as its strategic platform.

Suse helped Ciclum Farma build a highly available, virtualized SAP environment with KVM and DRBD-based clustering, improving resilience and simplifying infrastructure management. The result was 100 percent uptime for mission-critical SAP applications over nine months and a 50 percent reduction in total SAP environment operating costs.
