Case Study: Fortune 500 heavy equipment manufacturer accelerates SAP HANA deployment with TidalScale

Business acceleration on TidalScale Sizing, procuring, and installing a 12TB server in one month—not nine

A Fortune 100 manufacturing company faced a significant challenge as its SAP HANA workloads grew. The business was looking at a costly and time-consuming process to procure a new, over-$1 million system, which involved expensive consulting fees of $300,000 or more and a server sizing exercise that could take up to nine months. The vendor TidalScale provided its Software-Defined Servers as a solution to this problem.

TidalScale was able to accurately size the manufacturer's database needs in a single afternoon instead of months. The implementation of their solution saved the company as much as 75% in operating costs and over $300,000 in consulting fees. Furthermore, TidalScale deployed the new system in less than a month, a dramatic reduction from the traditional timeline, and achieved faster performance at a fraction of the total cost of ownership.
