IBM announced that Audi selected IBM to build a cloud environment for Audi's SAP infrastructure to deliver higher performance, fast and flexible provisioning of SAP applications and capacities, lower infrastructure costs, and to deliver above-average energy efficiency with the ability to enlarge future SAP applications to an almost unlimited extent.
In April 2010, Audi signed a contract with IBM to rebuild their existing SAP infrastructure, including consolidation and virtualization of the server hardware, process standardization, opportunities for performance-related billing and a much higher operational flexibility. Audi's new SAP Infrastructure solution is based on a new generation of high-performance IBM POWER 7 Servers and IBM database technology (DB2).
The new infrastructure is fully operational and will be managed by IBM in a private cloud environment hosted in Audi's data center.
