Operational Impact
The migration to IBM's private cloud infrastructure has provided Audi with a robust, high-performance platform for managing its business operations that also offers superb flexibility. The company can now expand and contract its SAP solutions in line with changing patterns of demand, ensuring that it has the right IT resources in place, at the right cost of ownership. The IBM private cloud-ready infrastructure now runs the entire SAP landscape at Audi, serving a lot of business and supporting core business processes. The new infrastructure requires little physical maintenance and is managed by IBM. The cloud concept allows a group of physically separate hardware resources to be orchestrated and managed as a single pool of virtualized resources. As Audi continues to expand the SAP environment, it is also further developing the management of cloud and embedding the new management processes into its organization. | |
