largest grocery retailer in the United States saves $1.7M with TidalScale

The largest grocery retailer in the United States faced a challenge with the high cost of its planned SAP HANA deployment, as it initially assumed it needed to purchase an oversized and expensive 12TB proprietary system. To avoid this significant overspend, the retailer engaged with vendor TidalScale to find a more efficient solution.

TidalScale implemented its Software-Defined Server platform using two standard rack servers running SAP HANA on SUSE Linux, creating a right-sized 6TB system. This TidalScale solution allowed the retailer to avoid an overspend of $1.7 million and delivered 117% better performance per dollar compared to their initial hardware consideration.
