Wing On ensures smooth-running retail

To deliver excellent retail experiences across its department stores, The Wing On Company Limited (Wing On) moved its critical SAP S/4HANA business systems to a modern hyperconverged infrastructure platform running on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers powered by Intel^® Xeon^® 6 processors—helping to ensure always-on operations while cutting total cost of ownership by 35%. That’s the power of Lenovo with Intel Inside^®.

Customer Problem

Wing On relies on SAP solutions to help it deliver high-quality experiences across its department stores. With its IT infrastructure platform for SAP at end-of-life, the company looked for a future-ready solution.

Lenovo Solution

The company replaced its traditional three-tier architecture with an HCI solution based on Proxmox Virtual Environment running on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V4 servers. The latest-generation Intel^® Xeon^® 6 processors deliver performance and efficiency without compromise.

Business Impact

The new solution reduces total cost of ownership across hardware, software, maintenance, and power by 35% per year while enabling Wing On to ensure always-on availability for mission-critical retail systems.
