In an effort to sustain the rapid growth and ensure optimal performance of their business systems, LuLu Group recently migrated its SAP for Retail landscape from Solaris to SUSE Linux. When LuLu Group wanted to improve the speed of business reporting and analytics by deploying the SAP HANA database, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications was again its platform of choice, combining high availability and performance with low total cost of ownership.
Madhav Rao, CIO of LuLu Group. “Given our experience with the availability, flexibility, scalability and ease of management of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, this was the logical platform on which to deploy our new SAP HANA software.”
Shiju Shanmughan, Network and Infra¬structure Manager at LuLu Group, said, “We knew that SAP and SUSE share a very close relationship, and that SAP uses the SUSE operating system for its own development on Linux, so it seemed to be the best option. The deployment went very smoothly, and we handled it largely with our in-house team, using the excellent SUSE documentation. We also support the OS in-house, escalating any more complex queries to the experts on the SUSE support team.”
With both its core SAP ERP landscape and its new SAP HANA landscape running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, LuLu Group enjoys optimal performance, easy management, seamless scalability and low cost of ownership.
