Sun Microsystems Inc is celebrating a win over IBM Corp from New Zealand Telecom, which says it was forced to swap from IBM RS/6000s over to Sun’s high-end E10000 servers as its SAP AG applications pushed the RS/6000s beyond their capacity. The New Zealand Herald reports that the multi-million dollar installation represents one of the largest Unix servers ever sold in New Zealand. SAP is used at New Zealand Telecom for financial reporting, project management, warehousing and logistics. The new system is expected to go live at the end of next month, with information gradually ported over until the latest version of SAP is ported over by next February.
