processors

Overview Vistec Semiconductor Systems GmbH is a manufacturer of technologies for the semiconductor industry, specializing in the development of innovative products for process control and electron beam lithography for mask and wafer fabrication. It needed to establish its own set of business applications. Vistec chose to outsource the hosting and maintenance of its SAP applications to IDS Scheer, selecting two IBM System x3850 servers, each with four dual-core Intel Xeon processors, as the platform for both the SAP ERP solution and the SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence component. The x3850s are configured in a mutual failover mode, and are housed in separate data centers for added resilience.
