IBM AIX to AIX
This company's operations and resources are focused on beer, adventure park entertainment and packaging and also has interests in aluminum beverage container recycling, malt production, rice milling, real estate development, turf farming, creative services, metalized paper label printing and transportation services.
The company approached Sector7 to determine the means by which they could develop a strategic plan to scale operations and manage data in the future and reduce operations costs within the IT Group.
Sector7 was able to develop a plan to optimize their IT operations. The key plan features required the consolidation of infrastructure servers, Oracle database instances and applications. Physical consolidation resulted by combining servers with like operating systems where feasible. Data consolidation and application consolidation into common servers was accomplished by reducing the number of database versions and evaluating the application functionality case by case.
The Sector7 solution benefits included a reduction in hardware and software costs, improved hardware utilization, decreased facilities and administrative costs. Database consolidation could result in benefits derived from enhanced accessibility and data integrity. The resulting configuration has improved usability and is more reliable and scalable.
