Case Study
Italian retailer Unicomm selects Huawei RH5885 V2 server for its SAP HANA database and S7700 and S5700 switches.
Huawei’s SAP HANA application came about as a result of a successful switching project and helps Unicomm to analyse sales data in real time.
“With the SAP HANA solution, we needed a partner that was ready to support us in every way possible. By helping us to stay in budget and to adopt a system that could grow in line with company requirements, Huawei really delivered.” Federico Vecchiatti, Head of IT, Unicomm “Before they started the SAP HANA project, Unicomm had been reassured by their dealings with Huawei in the switching project. They had a similarly successful relationship during the SAP HANA project. Their budget was met, their system requirements were met, their investment was future proofed and they developed a partner for the long term.” Stefano Berrettini, Key Account Manager, FastWeb “These projects were great collaborations between partners that understood the customer’s needs and delivered. Huawei’s approach was key to this success. They made the most of the proof of concept process to let the customer trial the system and become comfortable with its reliability and flexibility.” Fabio Zambon, Data Center & Innovation Business Unit Manager, SAIV
Background
Unicomm is an Italian retailer based in the North East of Italy and one of the top five retail companies in the country. Based in Vicenza, it operates through four different brands in over 200 outlets. These range from small village shops to large shopping malls. One of their most famous brands is Emisfero, which has shopping malls in locations such as Perugia and Vicenza. This situation provides a unique challenge for the IT team at Unicomm. Unlike a bank, which will experience rush hours but can undertake maintenance at the weekend, Unicomm needs a 24/7 IT setup. This is because, even when the shops are closed, warehouses have to operate and deliveries need to be made.
