ABB Group | Manufacturing | 110860 | $32.9B | Switzerland | IBM | IBM PowerVC | Network Virtualisation | 2013 | n/a | In 2013, ABB Group implemented IBM PowerVC for Network Virtualisation. The deployment was executed as part of a larger private cloud and data center program supporting a new SAP infrastructure across six new data centers and a greenfield Glattbrugg datacenter build, targeting compute consolidation and virtualization on IBM Power8 E870 platforms. IBM PowerVC was configured to manage LPAR deployment, virtual machine lifecycle orchestration, and LPAR management strategy for Power systems. Functional capabilities implemented included virtualization orchestration, backup and disaster recovery workflows, and provisioning automation, with IBM PowerVC serving as the central cloud virtualization tool for Power compute management. The implementation integrated with on-premise storage and networking components documented in the program, including IBM Flash storage, IBM SAN directors, an IBM deduplication gateway, and Cisco networking fabric, and it aligned with HPE blade chassis and HPE 3PAR SAN used in associated rack builds. Operational coverage included global hosting and network strategy, coordination across multiple geographies, and direct support for SAP infrastructure projects delivered into the six data centers. Governance and rollout were driven through a Technical Design Authority model, with formal approval of high level and low level design artifacts across compute, storage, backup, and network domains, and with budget and resource planning and stakeholder escalation managed by global hosting leads. Outcomes explicitly recorded include successful delivery of the new SAP environment across the six data centers, successful testing of disaster recovery procedures, and the development of an IBM powerVC cloud Virtualization tool and LPAR management strategy for the Glattbrugg datacenter. | |

BAUHAUS Deutschland | Retail | 15227 | $4.8B | Germany | IBM | IBM PowerVC | Network Virtualisation | 2019 | n/a | BAUHAUS Deutschland implemented IBM PowerVC in 2019 to centralize Network Virtualisation for its IBM Power8 and Power9 infrastructure across two distributed data centers. The deployment targeted managed logical partitions, using IBM PowerVC to provide a unified virtualization control plane alongside existing central SVC storage and Cohesity backup infrastructure. IBM PowerVC was explicitly used as the orchestration layer for virtualized resources, and the full application name IBM PowerVC is referenced as the core Network Virtualisation platform in operational documentation and job responsibilities. IBM PowerVC was configured to automate LPAR lifecycle operations, virtual network provisioning, and integration with cloud capabilities mentioned in the environment. Functional capabilities implemented include virtualization orchestration, automated provisioning and deprovisioning of compute partitions, virtual network segmentation, and lifecycle management of guest systems consistent with Network Virtualisation practices. Configuration work emphasized automation to reduce manual partitioning tasks and to standardize virtual network configuration across Power systems. Operational scope encompassed data center infrastructure, storage and backup operations, and centralized virtualization administration, with IT Systems Engineer virtualization responsibilities covering installation, operation and monitoring of Power systems and managed LPARs. Governance and process changes included continuous documentation of infrastructure and forecasting, sub-project management for rollouts, migrations and upgrades, and handling service requests and incidents according to BAUHAUS internal standards. The narrative links BAUHAUS Deutschland, IBM PowerVC, Network Virtualisation and infrastructure operations as the primary business function relationship. | |

C.Vale | Consumer Packaged Goods | 14000 | $4.2B | Brazil | IBM | IBM PowerVC | Network Virtualisation | 2004 | Ibm | In 2004, C.Vale implemented IBM PowerVC to orchestrate its IBM Power Systems SAP platform, establishing an automated provisioning and resource orchestration layer for the SAP ERP landscape. The deployment positioned IBM PowerVC as the Network Virtualisation control plane to automate LPAR provisioning, lifecycle operations, and resource orchestration for SAP HANA and SAP ERP workloads across the cooperative. The implementation combined IBM PowerVC orchestration with IBM Power Systems E980 servers running IBM AIX and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, and leveraged Live Partition Mobility to move logical partitions with minimal user disruption. The platform was configured in an active active high availability architecture using IBM PowerHA, with IBM PowerVC automating the creation and provisioning of LPARs and supporting rapid rollouts of new SAP ERP application instances. IBM PowerVC was integrated with a multi-tier IBM Storage environment that included IBM Storwize V7000, Storwize V7000F, Storwize V5020 and TS4500 Tape Library, and was managed with IBM Spectrum Control and protected with IBM Spectrum Protect. The orchestration and compute stack directly supported SAP ERP and SAP HANA workloads used by procurement, supply chain, accounting and logistics, spanning C.Vale operations across 151 business units in Parana, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul and sites in Paraguay, with more than 1,400 concurrent SAP users at peak. Rollout and governance were executed with support from IBM Systems Lab Services and IBM Business Partner LB2, who conducted a three month preparation period that included IBM AIX updates, migration script development and comprehensive testing. Live Partition Mobility preserved processor state, memory and attached virtual devices for many SAP instances, enabling a migration approach that minimized planned downtime and allowed the business to maintain availability during the cutover. The implementation delivered explicitly reported outcomes for the customer, including a 42 percent increase in compute resources, a 23 percent reduction in monthly compute costs, up to 19 percent faster SAP ERP response times and approximately 14 percent faster SAP HANA access times. Additional reported operational efficiencies included consolidation from three E880C servers into two E980 servers, reductions in energy consumption by 37 percent and license reductions across IBM AIX, IBM PowerVC and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications as part of the platform optimization. | |
