Leading enterprise Linux platform running SAP
HANA to help Peavey lower costs, improve processing performance and
provide data-driven insights
– RED HAT SUMMIT – Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that
Peavey Electronics, a leading manufacturer of audio equipment, is
deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA® as the foundation
for its deployment of SAP® BusinessObjectsTM business intelligence
(BI) solutions running on the SAP HANA platform. The implementation
is an update to Peavey’s existing enterprise resource planning
(ERP) system, which was suffering from growing business demand for
more reporting and performance capacity.
One of the world’s largest makers and suppliers of musical
instruments, amplifiers and professional audio systems, Peavey
distributes more than 2,000 products to more than 130 countries.
The expansive and distributed nature of Peavey’s business put
significant demands on the company’s existing ERP system – they
needed faster scaling, more flexibility and better performance to
keep up with the business’s global presence.
With the limitations of the existing system in mind, Peavey
turned to its long-time partner, 3V Solutions for recommendations.
3V, a reseller and integrator of SAP solutions, recommended
implementing SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions with SAP HANA. SAP
HANA is a powerful in-memory relational database that is designed
to handle both high transaction rates and complex query processing,
key capabilities for Peavey’s operations, running on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA. The solution also includes a
purpose-built NEC Corporation of America (NEC) appliance for these
compute-and memory-intensive applications.
Launched in June 2014, the result of collaborative engineering
efforts between SAP and Red Hat, Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP
HANA combines the reliability, scalability and performance of the
world’s leading enterprise Linux platform with technologies
optimized to meet the specific requirements of SAP HANA. These
include a series of high-availability features that use Intel
Machine Check Architecture to mitigate hardware-level errors on
application performance and stability.
With the deployment underway, the Peavey team expects that the
new Red Hat, SAP and NEC solution will help the company
realize:
- High availability with reduced capital
costs, with the hardware reductions alone expected to save Peavey
54 percent of their original expense.
- Improved processing performance, with
faster response times without rewriting existing reports and
queries.
- More insight for more users, including
those on mobile devices and a removal of the processing constraints
that have limited Peavey’s ability to deliver new business
analytics.
With the business intelligence solution built on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA, Peavey intends to bring new
capabilities online in the future, including data mining and
predictive analytics. The company also hopes that the new system
will eventually provide the nucleus for a disaster recovery center,
bringing redundancy and 24x7 availability for Peavey’s worldwide
representatives in the event of a disaster.

“Red Hat Enterprise Linux forms the secure and reliable
foundation for many varied enterprises across the globe, and we are
pleased that Peavey Electronics has selected Red Hat Enterprise
Linux for SAP HANA as the basis for the next-generation SAP
software implementation. Boasting a robust ecosystem of certified
partners and hardware configurations, Red Hat Enterprise Linux for
SAP HANA delivers an open, powerful and secure platform upon which
to build critical business intelligence solutions.”
Robert Muirhead, manager, ERP Applications, Peavey
Electronics
“With our old business intelligence system, it could take 15
minutes or more to get reports critical to our daily operations,
and our teams were spending hours each day to create and format
this data. The SAP and Red Hat solution will open up our reporting
capabilities and enable us to widen our reporting capabilities and
the pool of reports that we can provide; it’s positive for our IT
and it’s positive for our business.”
Chris Hallenbeck, global vice president, Platform Solutions,
SAP
“Peavey Electronics’ decision to have SAP BusinessObjects BI
solutions running on SAP HANA represents a significant leap
forward, enabling the company to provide the right information at
the right time to the right decision-makers. By basing the
deployment on SAP HANA running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we
anticipate that Peavey will gain the flexibility and scalability of
a powerful, open platform to support its data management needs
across the hybrid cloud.”
