Lufthansa Technik Logistik GmbH (LTL) supplies Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services to 450 airlines worldwide. Its heterogeneous server environment delivered low performance and high maintenance costs and also had availability and scalability issues. Working together with HP, Lufthansa Systems consolidated the 18 old PA-RISC machines down to two HP Integrity Business Critical Servers (BCS). It transitioned LTL from PA-RISC to Itanium. HP MSL tape libraries and EVA storage arrays were provided for backup and storage. They were formed into two identical server and storage systems, connected by SAN switches to create a high availability mirrored environment.
