Winn-Dixie
Strengthening the infrastructure with an IBM consolidation solution
Business challenge:
Winn-Dixie, a Jacksonville, Florida-based grocery chain based with more than 600 retail locations throughout the southeastern U.S., needed a cost-effective and easily managed solution to replace its aging distributed IT infrastructure and quickly enable disaster recovery. We thought the IBM solution gave us the most flexibility not only for now, but going forward. It accommodated our existing application portfolio while providing a very rich upgrade path in our infrastructure.
Barry Kirk, director of architecture, Winn-Dixie
Solution:
The solution consolidated more than 600 stand-alone servers at individual grocery stores into a centralized data center at Winn Dixie headquarters using IBM AIX and IBM PowerVM virtualization technologies to support 16 stores on a single IBM BladeCenter JS22 blade server, mirrored to a nearby facility as well as to a remote disaster recovery location.
Solution components:
IBM BladeCenter JS22 blades in IBM BladeCenter H IBM PowerVM
Benefits:
Redirected $5 million capital cost savings to store remodelling

Baylor College of Medicine improves performance and sets the stage for an SAP upgrade with IBM servers
Business challenge:
When Baylor College of Medicine (Baylor) decided to build a new hospital, it also planned to upgrade its existing data center in order to ease space constraints and replace end-of-life Sun servers. It needed a smooth migration that would provide uninterrupted access to its SAP ERP system and other supporting systems. Nobody else had as eloquent and simple a design as IBM did. They also offered very costeffective solutions.
Al Reineking, executive director of IT operations and technical services, Baylor College of Medicine
Solution:
Baylor engaged IBM Premier Business Partner Mark III and brought in the IBM Migration Factory team to provide the transition of workloads from 32 legacy Sun servers onto three IBM Power 570 servers, running the IBM AIX operating system. IBM Migration Factory performed the server consolidation and migration of Baylors software applications from the old Sun hardware platform to the new IBM platform.
Solution components:
SAP ERP IBM Migration Factory IBM Power 570
Benefits:
Achieves a 60 percent reduction in rack space footprint and better than 40 percent savings in both cooling and power Improves overall performance by 30 percent Improves payroll processing time by 213 percent
