Case Study: Consol Glass (Pty) Ltd. achieves 25% lower IT costs and 99.999% uptime with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

Consol Glass (Pty) Ltd. - Customer Case Study

Consol Glass (Pty) Ltd., Africa’s largest manufacturer of glass containers, was struggling to keep its growing SAP application landscape running smoothly and cost-effectively. As demand increased, the company needed better performance, availability, and flexibility while avoiding rising IT complexity and downtime risk. It turned to Suse’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as part of a move to a private cloud environment.

Suse helped Consol Glass migrate its SAP and business systems to the T-Systems Dynamic Cloud Platform, running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on a standardized cloud architecture. The result was about 25% lower IT operational costs over two years, 99.999% uptime with just five minutes of downtime in the first year, and improved scalability and flexibility to support business growth.
