ABB Brazil | Manufacturing | 1700 | $400M | Brazil | IBM | IBM AIX | Operating System (OS) | 2007 | n/a |
In 2007, ABB Brazil implemented IBM AIX as its core Operating System (OS). The deployment provisioned IBM AIX to host enterprise workloads across ABB Brazil's manufacturing IT estate, including support for SAP ERP workloads.
Configuration emphasized AIX system administration, storage connectivity and OS-level stability for enterprise applications, leveraging IBM AIX capabilities typical of UNIX-class production environments. Documentation and notes indicate a targeted update cycle occurred in May 2017 to July 2017 when an AIX Support Engineer performed punctual updates to the AIX OS and Tivoli Storage Management, to enable the internal basis team to upgrade SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7.
Operational ownership rested with ABB's internal basis and operations teams in the São Paulo area, with the AIX Support Engineer executing the OS and TSM updates alongside application basis activities. The implementation impacted IT operations and application support for manufacturing and ERP business functions, with governance executed through internal basis team workflows.

Ace Hardware | Retail | 12500 | $9.5B | United States | IBM | IBM AIX | Operating System (OS) | 2002 | n/a |
In 2002 Ace Hardware implemented IBM AIX as its standard Operating System (OS) to consolidate Unix infrastructure across enterprise data centers. IBM AIX was deployed on IBM pSeries hardware to host DB2 LUW supporting SAP database workloads and to provide a stable OS layer for Unix and enterprise storage services. The implementation positioned IBM AIX as the primary operating environment for enterprise systems engineering and data center operations.
Configuration work focused on operating system hardening, capacity provisioning on IBM pSeries, and storage integration including Flash tiering to improve I O performance. IBM AIX served as the runtime for DB2 LUW instances and for operational tooling used to centralize job scheduling, reducing the number of disparate schedulers. System administration, patching, and software maintenance were governed by an enterprise systems engineering team responsible for Unix, AS400 support, and storage management.
Integrations and operational coverage included DB2 LUW for SAP workloads, AS400 system support, and storage systems with Flash tiers, alongside data protection via replication based disaster recovery. The deployment consolidated job scheduling to a single enterprise scheduler and aligned database administration practices across IBM mainframe DB2, IMS, Oracle, Teradata, and Microsoft SQL Server as part of enterprise data management responsibilities. Day to day operations were centered in the corporate data center under the Data Center and Enterprise Systems Manager function.
Governance and financial stewardship were explicit, with the enterprise systems engineering team managing a multi million dollar software maintenance budget. Reported outcomes tied to these platform and operational changes included a stated savings of $5 million, improved performance through Flash storage adoption, and a lower corporate risk profile by moving disaster recovery from tape backup to data replication. Recovery Time Objective improved to 12 hours from 4 days, and Recovery Point Objective improved from 30 hours to 5 minutes.

ACH Food Companies | Consumer Packaged Goods | 450 | $75M | United States | IBM | IBM AIX | Operating System (OS) | 2007 | n/a |
In 2007, ACH Food Companies implemented IBM AIX as its Operating System (OS) to support enterprise SAP and EDI workloads. The deployment centered on IBM AIX on IBM Power frames, operating a farm of more than 40 logical partitions LPARs to host SAP and Webmethods processes and associated middleware for the parent company Shared Service Center.
IBM AIX was configured across multiple AIX releases during the operational period, with explicit use of AIX 6.1 through 7.2 for ongoing builds and maintenance. Core platform services and configuration management included NIM for provisioning, Tivoli Storage Management for backups, Actifio CDS for snapshot and replication workflows, and integrated storage tiers using XiV, V7000 Storwize, and IBM ProtecTier with IBM tape libraries for long term retention.
The environment ran SAP and Webmethods EDI stacks within the LPAR topology and integrated with downstream infrastructure components such as Brocade SAN fabrics, BI accelerators, and iSeries AS400 for business application continuity. ACH executed migrations of five separate SAP environments Production QA Development Testing and Sandbox from Memphis Tennessee and Ankeny Iowa to data centers in South Croydon UK and Milton Keynes UK for the parent company Shared Service Center, while also providing system administration for the iSeries environment and operational support for Citrix NetScaler configurations with the network team.
Platform observability and operations were structured around Nagios based monitoring, LPAR2RRD performance collectors and extensions including PNP2Nagios PNP2Graph NConf and check_mk, with scripted automation used to generate monthly server reports and streamline maintenance. Governance included documented DR procedures with twice yearly DR testing and an in house disaster recovery site at plant facilities, and documented month end maintenance and audit tasks for system and user management.
Operational outcomes explicitly captured in administration records include execution of a mission critical systems failover with an RTO of 1.5 hours and migrations completed with a minimum of business interruptions, demonstrating the production readiness of the IBM AIX platform for ACH Food Companies enterprise SAP and EDI workloads.

Acqua Minerale San Benedetto | Consumer Packaged Goods | 2000 | $1.2B | Italy | IBM | IBM AIX | Operating System (OS) | 2005 | REALTECH |
In 2005 Acqua Minerale San Benedetto deployed IBM AIX as its Operating System (OS) platform to host its SAP landscape. IBM AIX served as the core operating system for the company, with implementation activities documented against the My SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 ABAP+Java and Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 ABAP+Java stacks.
The implementation established an AIX/Oracle runtime architecture where IBM AIX provided OS-level services for the ABAP and Java application servers and the Oracle database tier. Configuration work included provisioning the AIX environment for database and application processes, tuning OS parameters for SAP workloads, and installing libraries and runtime components required by the ABAP and Java stacks.
Integrations were explicitly centered on the SAP application suite and an Oracle database running on the AIX platform, enabling enterprise ERP operations across finance and supply chain functions managed by the SAP environment. The scope of the deployment included the San Benedetto site in VE and covered SAP application servers, Solution Manager connectivity for operations, and the underlying Oracle persistence layer.
REALTECH Italia S.p.A. is recorded as the system integrator responsible for the installation and platform configuration, performing the ABAP+Java SAP installations on AIX/Oracle and handing over operational responsibilities to the customer IT team. Governance focused on OS-level configuration standards, SAP stack deployment procedures, and operational handoff to support SAP application management on IBM AIX.
