CASE STUDY
Formed in 2007 by Coca-Cola Brazil and its regional manufacturers , Leão Alimentos e Bebidas manages the end-to-end manufacturing and distribution process for Coca-Cola ’ s portfolio of still drinks , teas and energy drinks in Brazil .
With brands including Del Valle Mais , Del Valle Água de Côco , Del Valle 100 % Suco , Chá Leão , Matte Leão , Powerade , Leão Senses and Chimarrão Pampas , the company Leão Alimentos e Bebidas employs more than 1,500 people and operates facilities in four cities across the country .
Challenge
Each year , Leão Alimentos e Bebidas produces refreshing drinks for millions of consumers across Brazil , and the company has ambitious plans to grow its business . To achieve this goal while maintaining topquality production and on-time customer deliveries , the company relies on its Oracle Database solutions , which help Leão Alimentos e Bebidas manage its complex supply chain from end-to-end .
In the past , Leão Alimentos e Bebidas used a traditional three-tier IT infrastructure to host its mission-critical business systems , comprising around 200 physical and virtual servers from multiple different vendors . As well as driving up the cost and complexity of management and maintenance , the previous platform consumed four racks – almost all the space available in the Leão Alimentos e Bebidas data center .
Wilson Lunardini , CTO at Leão Alimentos e Bebidas , knew that executing the long-term growth strategy would depend on new data-driven services . To deliver the performance , scalability and reliability to help build future-facing capabilities for the business , Leão Alimentos e Bebidas decided to look for a new IT platform .
WE DETERMINED THAT A HYPERCONVERGED
INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD BE THE MOST COST- EFFECTIVE WAY TO
MEET OUR OPERATIONAL AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS .
