Żabka Group taps HPE GreenLake platform to run Polish retailer’s SAP S/4HANA applications
Żabka Group, the largest convenience store chain in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe, has selected the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) GreenLake edge to cloud platform to run its SAP S/4HANA applications.
“A key factor for us when choosing the technology was finding a reliable partner that was ready to propose a tool that best suited our needs to ensure security,” says Jakub Masłowski, Chief Technology Officer, Żabka Group.
“We opted for HPE GreenLake, which will provide us with both the flexibility and speed characteristic of cloud solutions, as well as the control capabilities typical of on-premise infrastructure. Thanks to this, we gain greater system performance, which will help us create truly hybrid IT in our organisation.”
Żabka’s SAP S/4HANA application runs on the HPE GreenLake infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offering which consists of HPE Superdome Flex scale-up servers, HPE ProLiant servers, and HPE Alletra storage.
HPE GreenLake delivers, according to a press release, “the agility of the cloud with predictable pricing, as Żabka only pays for its metered usage”.
The offering also includes continuous monitoring to forecast bottlenecks with the help of artificial intelligence. As a result, physical buffer capacity can be quickly increased when needed.
“We’re glad to see more and more businesses around the world choosing to get their cloud experience from the HPE GreenLake platform, instead of using solutions offered by hyperscalers,” says Krzysztof Kowalczyk, Enterprise Sales Director at HPE Poland.
“It gives them a guarantee of high performance, availability, and the flexibility to scale at a predictable cost.”
