Tasks

Higher efficiency and integration, as well as optimisation of management processes through deployment of an SAP R/3 system,

Criteria

The SAP R/3 system’s infrastructure was based on IBM eServer servers and IBM Total Storage, as well as the existing pSeries 650 server and FAST T600 storage.

A highly reliable data storage system needed to be set up.

The enterprise management system was installed on a cluster of two IBM pSeries 650 servers with full hardware and software redundancy.

As is the case of dynamic oil refining companies, computing requirements change with time. In view of the introduction of new applications or growing workloads within existing solutions due to business development the need for much more powerful hardware often arises. The Storage Area Network solution based on IBM Total Storage and IBM eServer pSeries was designed with the future expansion in mind for all enterprise application servers to benefit from it. Provisions were also made to create a backup storage centre later.
