Improving Performance and Reducing Costs to Supply Growing Demand

Overview

Sabah Electricity Sendirian Berhad (SESB) is the only power utility company in Sabah (formerly North Borneo) supplying electricity to over 350,000 customers distributed over a wide area of 74,000 sq. km. The company wanted to improve performance and resiliency to increase computational speed, throughput and storage capacity. The company's challenge was to reduce data center footprint, power consumption and heat and improve disaster rollover and customer response times. SESB migrated its SAP application and system to Sun Fire E4900 and Sun Fire V240 servers running the Solaris 10 OS, and increased its storage expansion capability for its Oracle 9i database system and Veritas backup software with a Sun StorageTek 3510 Storage Area Network (SAN).
