IBM today announced that ARBURG GmbH + Co KG, a leading manufacturer of injection molding machines used to make plastic products, reduced its energy consumption for servers by 80 percent and for storage by 25 percent with its new IBM infrastructure.
Arburg在全球大约100个国家 /地区的汽车，电子，包装，医疗设备和消费品行业中为各种客户提供广泛的客户。app亚博体育Arburg的IT环境随着其业务而发展，但过于复杂，无法支持制造商的目标。
与IBM合作，Arburg升级到了新的IBM Zenterprise 114大型机，以降低成本并加速其上市时间，以提高客户满意度 - 而不会损害产品质量。
“借助IBM Zenterprise，Arburg能够更好地利用我们每天在我们的开发，采购，生产，销售和服务的核心业务领域中生成的大量数据，” Arburg信息系统总监AndreasDümmler说。“我们公司现在拥有洞察力和灵活的基础设施，我们需要更好地响应客户的需求，并将我们的产品更快地推向市场。”
为了支持其完整的SAP应用程序环境，Arburg使用IBM系统存储DS8800，IBM DB2和IBM Tivoli Monitoring Solutions运行两个IBM Z114大型机。
“By migrating to the latest generation IBM zEnterprise 114 server we have reduced our energy consumption by 80 percent. Likewise, implementing the IBM System Storage DS8800 storage solution cut power consumption for IBM zEnterprise disk storage by 25 percent,” continued Dümmler.
ARBURG also runs applications on IBM System x servers with IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller and IBM Storwize V7000 systems. By consolidating on to IBM System x servers with virtualization, ARBURG shrunk its number of physical servers by more than 50 percent and lowered energy requirements by 60 percent.
该公司可以利用Storwize V7000内置的IBM Easy Tier技术，并在旋转驱动器和固态驱动器（SSD）之间动态迁移数据，并将最访问的数据移至SSD，以获得更好的性能，并将较少使用的数据移至较低的数据定价，标准驱动器。
ARBURG says its IBM infrastructure will allow it to grow its SAP environment gradually without the need to frequently invest in new hardware -- saving money, minimizing complexity and maximizing performance.
The company’s long-term strategy is to use its SAP solutions running on IBM technology to optimize processes and improve transparency and quality, leading to shorter product development cycles and reduced time-to-market.
