Case Study: Sparda-Datenverarbeitung eG achieves higher availability and lower costs with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z from Suse

Sparda-Datenverarbeitung eG - Customer Case Study

Sparda-Datenverarbeitung eG, the IT service provider for the Sparda-Bank Group, needed to improve performance, availability, and disaster recovery for its growing banking application landscape. With rising transaction volumes, stricter regulatory demands, and the need for round-the-clock service, the company turned to Suse and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z to support its mission-critical systems.

Suse helped SDV expand its Linux environment on IBM z13 mainframes, consolidate databases and application servers, and automate failover and backups with GDPS and related tools. The results included about 50% lower software costs, a team of three managing 120 virtual environments, and automated failover within seconds, significantly improving business continuity and operational efficiency.
