In 2020, Kuantum Papers implemented IBM Spectrum Virtualize as the storage virtualization layer for IBM FlashSystem 5000 to support SAP S/4HANA running on IBM Power System S824 servers, aligning the storage stack with its manufacturing and enterprise resource planning workloads. This Network Virtualisation implementation was positioned to underpin end-to-end business functions including production planning, raw materials management, quality control, and logistics across the companys operational footprint in India.
The implementation configured IBM Spectrum Virtualize to provide storage consolidation and virtualization capabilities for block storage on FlashSystem 5000, with synchronous replication to a geographically separate disaster recovery environment built on FlashSystem 5010H and IBM Power System H922. The environment used IBM PowerVM to create logical partitions on IBM Power System servers, enabling consolidation of multiple workloads and reducing physical server count, while IBM Spectrum Protect was integrated to perform automatic backups to an IBM TS3100 Tape Library.
IBM Systems Lab Services executed the infrastructure implementation and collaborated with the SAP implementation partner, IBM Silver Business Partner Fore Solutions Pvt Ltd, and Kuantum Papers internal IT team to finalize architecture, configure performance tuning for SAP S/4HANA workloads, and transfer operational skills to in-house staff. Operational governance included configuration of replication and backup workflows, partitioning strategies with PowerVM, and platform management processes to support ongoing administration of the IBM Spectrum Virtualize layer and connected storage.
The deployment supported consolidation and operational efficiency outcomes reported by Kuantum Papers, including consolidation from five x86 servers into two IBM Power Systems LPAR hosts, a 60 percent reduction in physical server footprint, and a combined 40 percent reduction in maintenance, power and data center cooling costs as stated by the customer. Kuantum Papers also implemented real time data replication between primary and disaster recovery sites to reduce business risk of IT disruption and extended SAP S/4HANA enabled digital workflows to improve quality control and KPI reporting.
