The challenge

In order to be optimally equipped for SAP migration, Sattler chose S&T to completely renew its IT infrastructure and to ensure that the system was failsafe. S&T Austria successfully renewed Sattler’s server infrastructure two years ago and, as Sattler was very happy with the result, the company decided to collaborate with S&T Austria again.

The project

During the course of the project, SAP was migrated to HP BladeSystem C-Class. The project also encompassed the equipping and installation of a main computer center together with fail-safe computer centers at various locations and two mirrored storage systems. In addition, production and fail-safe storage processes were planned and implemented.

For its SAP operations, Sattler relies on HP BladeSystem C-Class, which serves as the basis for cost-effective expansions. S&T Austria installed nine new servers and set up the necessary clusters. The storage system was then configured and upgraded. In addition, S&T Austria is taking over maintenance of the servers and storage systems with a 24/7 contract.

Benefit for the customer
