Wharfedale’s highly focused SAP infrastructure expertise extends into High Availability, Virtualization, Backup & Recovery, Landscape Optimizations and Managed Services. Wharfedale’s portfolio of innovative solutions delivered optimal systems performance, minimal downtime for the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing customer while maximizing their capital investment.

The customer’s landscapes consisted of SAP ERP 6.0, BI 7.0 and SCM Livecache components running on IBM AIX. The customer was exploring the viability of migrating and consolidating their new SAP landscape to Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) utilizing VBlock solution based on EMC, CISCO and VMware technologies in a Linux/Oracle 11G RAC Grid environment.

Wharfedale performed Advanced SAP Landscape sizing for the customers’ VBlock environment based on the SAP application performance requirements. A virtual environment was then built using this design with Linux operating system, and Oracle 11G as database in a VMWare ESX 5.0 hypervisor environment on a VBlock. Wharfedale executed mock migrations from IBM AIX platform to Linux platform using SAP heterogeneous system copy procedures and industry best practices for migration. The actual production cutover was performed over the course of a weekend onto the new virtual platform for the ERP, BI and SCM Livecache components. The customer fully expects their VBlock to deliver robust performance needed for their business critical applications. Wharfedale was also involved in the Unicode conversion for ERP 6.0 and BI 7.0 components.

Apart from creating the SAP infrastructure and optimizing it for the SAP application, migration of server and storage platforms, tuning the SAP database, and improving their backup and recovery methodologies were some of the other services offered by Wharfedale Technologies to its pharmaceutical manufacturing customer. The project brought about an overall cost savings of around 35% and performance improvement by almost 60%.
