In order to improve the performance and operational efficiency of businesses worldwide, a customer using SAP wanted to establish a global business program to define and implement a standardized, group-wide business process architecture and associated master data for the parameterization of the group of software tools.
The expected growth of the number of users and the size of the database would be at a level never reached by other customers, however, so IBMa® was asked to undertake the following tasks:
Test the application to be sure that it can sustain such growth.
Prove the manageability of the solution.
Provide recommendations to optimize the infrastructure architecture.
This project illustrates the new near real time business intelligence (BI) context approached by customers who want the ability to rapidly analyze their business data to gain market shares. Data today comes from many diverse global sources and needs to be merged into an intelligent data warehouse.
This IBM Redbooksa® publication describes the testing that was done in terms of performance and manageability in an SAP NetWeavera® BI and DB2a® environment on IBM System pa„¢ when scaling a client`s solution to a data warehouse of 60 terabytes (TB). This book resulted from a joint cooperative effort that included the PSSC, the IBM/SAP International Competency Center, the DB2-SAP Center of Excellence, SAP AG, and a customer. The customer involved in this project is a worldwide company employing more than 250,000 employees with factories and logistics operations in almost every country in the world. ISBN 9788184044782
