2011 / SLES / IT / The Netherlands
Infonet is a global networking service provider offering fully managed, integrated communications
infrastructures, including data center services. Under this distribution relationship, Infonet delivers network
services, communication solutions, data center services and service management.
Infonet Nederland B.V.
• Each SAP landscape was divided into
production, test and development
environments, requiring a total of 12
physical servers running Microsoft
Windows and Oracle* database software.
• Determined that the new SAP software
would require it to replace all 12 existing
servers. Increasing the upgrade costs and
stretch the IT team to the limit.
• Infonet created a fully virtualized platform
for its SAP software using SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server and VMware*
infrastructure, a combination certified by
SAP.
• Rather than requiring the deployment of a
new physical server for each production,
test and development landscape, the use of
virtualization technology enabled Infonet to
build all three environments for each SAP
application within a single server.
• Cut IT operational costs by 20%.
• Reduced administration workload by 30%.
• Consolidated physical server landscape by
75%.

2013 / SLES / Manufacturing / Finland
Orbis Oy provides intelligent quality control, testing and measuring systems as well as advanced instrument
and component solutions for research and development, production, and after-sales needs of the
telecommunication and electronics industries.
Orbis Oy
• Wanted to reduce total cost of ownership
for its SAP environment which was running
on multiple physical severs with associated
high software licensing and support fees.
• As its global business grew, Orbis wanted
to take advantage of newer ERP
functionality, which necessitated a
migration to the latest release, SAP ERP
6.0 version of the SAP software.
• Headstart and Centilane proposed a
solution based on SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server with built-in Xen virtualisation
technology. By migrating from
Windows/Oracle to Linux* and the MaxDB
database from SAP, Headstart and
Centilane were able to generate significant
cost savings for Orbis in terms of SAP
software licensing and support fees.
• Reduced software support and licensing
costs.
• Enabled rapid upgrade to latest version of
SAP.
• Improved flexibility and speed of disaster
recovery.
