Redhat Case Study: Eveready Industries India Ltd.

Overview Eveready Industries India Ltd. (EIIL) is India's leading manufacturer of dry cell batteries and flashlights, and the world's third largest carbon-zinc battery manufacturer. The challenge faced was of converting a closely interwoven and complex distribution model into a unified solution to automate the sales & distribution backbone. Having already experienced the benefits of using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Eveready decided to implement Oracle E-Business Suite 11i.5.9 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS v.3. Eveready has managed to setup an ERP powerhouse on basic, low-cost Intel-based servers - i.e. Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 powers Oracle 11i on two Dell 4-CPU Xeon MP 2.7 GHz machines with 4 GB RAM each, attached to an EMC shared storage box.
