Siyaram’s: Enhancing SAP Performance with IBM Flash Storage

Founded in 1978, Siyaram Silk Mills Ltd. has become a household name in men’s fashion and textiles. With brands like Siyaram’s, J. Hampstead, Cadini, Oxemberg, Mozzo, and Casa Moda, the company weaves over 80 million meters of fabric annually, offering everything from cotton and wool to linen and polyester blends.

As Siyaram’s expanded, the company sought to modernize its IT infrastructure to support SAP ECC and address critical storage and performance challenges.

The Challenge: As the business grew, Siyaram’s existing infrastructure struggled to keep pace:

• Incompatible Infrastructure – The existing setup was not optimized to support SAP ECC workloads effectively.
• Performance Bottlenecks – Month-end operations led to slow data transactions and performance drops.
• Storage Limitations – Rising data volumes exposed the inadequacy of their SAS-based storage devices.
• Scalability Concerns – Future growth plans required high-capacity, scalable storage to manage enterprise workloads.

 Siyaram’s needed a modern storage solution that could deliver both speed and scalability.

The Solution: Pentagon recommended and implemented IBM Flash Storage as a replacement for the legacy SAS-based storage system:

• Infrastructure Upgrade – Installed IBM Flash System to handle high data throughput and reduce latency.
• Hybrid Flash Configuration – Offered a balance of performance and affordability, with options for hybrid or all-flash setups.
• Smart Optimization – Enabled compression, deduplication, and AI-powered predictive analytics to maximize efficiency.
• Simplified Management – Provided enterprise-class data services that simplified delivery and improved availability.
• Proactive Monitoring – Pentagon added managed service support for proactive monitoring, compliance checks, and risk identification.

 The migration and implementation were completed within one month, with close collaboration between Pentagon and Siyaram’s IT & business teams.
