Case Study: EFiS EDI Finance Service AG achieves lower operating costs and higher reliability with Suse Linux Enterprise Server

EFiS EDI Finance Service AG - Customer Case Study

EFiS EDI Finance Service AG, a German financial services provider processing payments for banks and major enterprises, needed to cut operating costs while maintaining nonstop reliability, security, and performance in a heavily regulated environment. Its growing distributed setup of about 200 physical servers had become expensive, hard to manage, and power-hungry, so it turned to Suse for a more efficient core platform.

Suse implemented SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z on IBM System z, allowing EFiS to consolidate workloads onto a single IBM zEnterprise server with virtualized instances and built-in disaster recovery. The result was a 30% reduction in energy costs, more than 90% faster deployment times, and a drop from 200 servers to just one production mainframe, while also improving scalability, uptime, and transaction-processing performance.
