Case Studies
Gulftainer
Challenge
Aiming to become one of the world’s top container terminal operators, Gulftainer is expanding rapidly, both in the UAE and internationally. To get new sites up and running quickly, the company wanted a highly scalable, high-performance infrastructure to support its mission-critical SAP and MACH application landscape.
Solution
Gulftainer deployed multiple Lenovo System x servers to support its new SAP HANA environment, and a Lenovo Flex System solution at its corporate office in Sharjah and the Khorfakkan Container Terminal. The company’s enterprise application includes SAP HANA and MACH supported by the Lenovo infrastructure solution solution – enabling Gulftainer to scale quickly as its business continues to expand.

Hortifrut
Challenge
Diversifying the supply chain to protect revenues and deliver high-quality goods all-year-round is key in the fresh produce industry. However, by doing so, producers often end up with multiple sources of information and struggle to achieve a clear, comprehensive overview of their global business. How could berry producer Hortifrut continue to expand, when it struggled to gain a clear ongoing grasp of its operations?
Solution
To provide unmatched security, scalability and data processing speed to its existing SAP ERP systems, Hortifrut chose to implement SAP HANA in-memory platform on Lenovo System x3850 X6 servers. The Lenovo solution’s full availability and excellent performance is ideal for the world-leading, next-generation SAP applications and analytics that are mission-critical for Hortifrut.

Fitness First
Fitness First Germany GmbH prides itself on giving its members the best possible fitness experience. But with an aging, diverse IT infrastructure in place, the company would often suffer hardware outages that brought key customer-facing business applications down. With highly reliable, high-performance Lenovo ThinkServer TS440 tower servers, Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 desktop PCs and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, Fitness First Germany can be sure of keeping customer services running smoothly.

Loras College
With hundreds of students and faculty members all trying to log on to Loras College’s systems at once every day, it’s little wonder its aging infrastructure couldn’t keep up. To boost performance and accelerate response times, the college deployed a software-defined infrastructure based on Lenovo System x3650 M5 servers and StorMagic SvSAN virtualization technology. Supported by the Lenovo solution, Loras College now delivers smooth, seamless IT services – helping to further students’ learning.

By replacing its aging IT infrastructure with a flexible and powerful Lenovo Flex System solution, the district gained the performance and scalability needed to support a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) – improving access to learning materials.
