Telefonica in Argentina Dials Up Faster Business Processes With the Intel Itanium 2 Processor

Overview

Argentina's leading telecommunications company runs its business on SAP R/3 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. With the previous aging software limiting business agility and pushing information technology (IT) costs higher, Telefonica in Argentina needed to upgrade its ERP software and move it to a more powerful, robust platform. Telefonica in Argentina migrated to SAP R/3 Release 4.7 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (64-bit edition) and moved to a cluster of 4-way HP Integrity rx5670 servers based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition.
