BusinessShadow at specialty chemicals manufacturer Ciba

In August a mammoth project is drawing to a successful close: In just under three and a half years, specialty chemicals manufacturer Ciba has implemented an extensive portfolio of SAP solutions to replace more than 100 enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems at its 80 locations and research centers in 20 countries. A project on this scale is rarely seen in the chemical industry, but Ciba had no alternative. To survive and grow in the fiercely competitive global market, the company had to harmonize business processes and operate more efficiently and transparently.

Partnering with IBM, SAP and running a mixed Libelle BusinessShadow and HADR scenario, Libelle proved another time how they can add value to high end environments:

"Ciba implemented virtualized IBM System p5 590 servers, using the High Availability Disaster Recovery function of IBM DB2 to provide hot standby of production systems. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager handles backups of the high-performance IBM System Storage DS8100 disk system, and Libelle BusinessShadow for SAP provides long-distance replication capabilities for the new DR site.”
