DataXstream Virtualizes Lumber Liquidators’ SAP Landscape

Virtualization Project Overview

DataXstream 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 Needs

Lumber 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 their initial implementation, but incremental growth for the next 3-5 years.  As a new implementation, they were also concerned with minimizing total project cost, delivering high availability and consistent performance to an increasing number of users, and be easily maintainable by a streamlined IT staff.

SAP Virtualization Solution

Lumber 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 expectations requested by Lumber Liquidators:

  • Reduced by 2/3 the amount of hardware (servers, storage, network, and peripherals) compared to a traditional, non-virtualized solution, thereby lowering Total Cost of Ownership
  • As a reseller of both VMware and Dell, DataXstream’s proposal proved to be almost 40% lower than competitive offerings
