IFFCO Chooses IBM To Redefine ERP Environment

With a view to build a Dynamic IT Infrastructure, The Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), has elected IBM’s hardware platform to run its new Oracle ERP application. IFFCO chose IBM’s Power 6 P570 servers and DS 8700 Storage, TS 3310 Tape Library for their server and storage requirements.

IFFCO required a cost effective yet highly available solution at both the server and storage levels, which would take care of their existing workload and also support their new upgraded Oracle Applications environment for the next 3-4 years.

"We wanted to partner with the best technology advisor in the industry in order to leverage their expertise to lay the way for our future growth, while streamlining our operational costs. Our trust in IBM has been strengthened further as IBM made efficient utilisation of the existing set-up which included Intel servers and storage. The value proposition of IBM’s overall solution was unmatched," said H.R.Singh, JGM-Systems, IFFCO, Delhi.
