DataXstream Virtualizes Lumber Liquidators’ SAP Landscape
Virtualization Project OverviewDataXstream LLC and Lumber Liquidators have announced a business relationship in which Lumber Liquidators has purchased a completely virtualized SAP platform from DataXstream built on VMware and Dell EqualLogic. Lumber Liquidators’ SAP NeedsLumber Liquidators acquired SAP to automate all their back-office processes. Prior to implementation, they were instructed to deploy a hardware platform that would support not only the initial implementation, but incremental growth for the next 3 years. As a new implementation, they were also concerned with minimizing total project cost, delivering high availability and consistent performance to an unknown number of users, and be easily maintainable by a streamlined IT staff. SAP Virtualization SolutionLumber Liquidators turned to DataXstream, an SAP professional services organization focused on technical consulting and integration, with particular skills in landscape design and implementation. After reviewing the business requirements and technical constraints, DataXstream proposed, and then deployed a completely virtualized SAP environment, covering Development, Quality Assurance, and Production landscapes. The resultant solution exceeded the needs requested by Lumber Liquidators:

- Leveraging DataXstream’s longstanding expertise in SAP, the solution was tuned specifically to support current SAP needs, while remaining flexible enough to grow incrementally as new deployment phases started.
- Utilizing VMware features such as DRS, SRM, and HA, the solution insured consistent SAP response to users, even during scheduled maintenance, or fail-over conditions.
As a result of working with DataXstream, Lumber Liquidators met their implementation timelines, budgetary forecasts, and improved the chance of adoption by its user community. Simultaneously the choice enabled its IT team to easily support the landscape without having to add more resources.

DataXstream Announces Virtual Integration Infrastructure at SAP® TechEd 2008 Las Vegas
Customers Can Integrate Now with Virtual Integration Infrastructure from DataXstream
LAS VEGAS, NV – Sept. 9, 2008
DataXstream today announced at SAP® TechEd 2008 Las Vegas availability of its Virtual Integration Infrastructure (VII): a powerful integration platform delivered as a utility service. DataXstream VII provides simplicity and affordability by pairing a comprehensive hosted integration platform with DataXstream’s deep integration experience.
“This is a great opportunity for DataXstream to maximize the value we bring to customers,” said Tim Yates, DataXstream CEO. “Our Virtual Integration Infrastructure allows us to implement full-functioned, end-to-end enterprise application integration (EAI) infrastructure in a matter of weeks. With DataXstream VII we free customers from the burdens of implementing and managing integration scenarios. We enable their IT resources to focus on activities that provide greatest business impact.”
The Virtual Integration Infrastructure (VII) by DataXstream is the world’s first offering in the burgeoning Middleware-As-A-Service (MAAS) market. By leveraging the first full-functioned EAI platform available as a service, DataXstream delivers world-class integration capabilities at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional implementation. This type of utility based computing in the cloud is gaining momentum because it lowers development and support costs while meeting business requirements. MAAS is especially suitable for organizations that would not like to maintain an in-house data movement and transformation infrastructure.
In addition to a world-class technical solution, the VII platform is supported by DataXstream’s deep integration expertise. DataXstream integration specialists work with customers every step of the way—interface design, build, implementation, and support—to ensure integration scenarios not only fulfill the business needs for system integration, but do so in a cost-effective, robust, and secure manner.
“DataXstream VII scales with you,” said Craig Stasila, principal technical architect. “Our support team monitors system usage and availability to ensure that you have the resources you need, when you need them.”
DataXstream’s utility pricing means you only pay for the resources you use–similar to your mobile telephone bill. All inclusive pricing means an end to up-front software costs and maintenance fees, the overhead of server maintenance, hardware and operating system support, and the ever-increasing heating and cooling requirements of a modern IT infrastructure. DataXstream VII offers a real cost savings over any alternatives.
SAP TechEd 2008 is SAP’s largest ecosystem education event of the year, which is being held Sept. 8-12. DataXstream is exhibiting at TechEd in booth 23.
