关于客户
本案例研究的客户是 BMW 集团，这是一家著名的汽车制造商，在全球设有生产基地，包括德国、中国和美国。 BMW 集团自 2012 年以来一直使用 Hitachi Vantara 的按需存储服务，由 20 名员工提供- 位于德国慕尼黑的运营和迁移团队成员。宝马集团面临的挑战是在不影响生产连续性的情况下将其现有的已接近使用寿命的存储平台升级为新硬件。这是一项艰巨的任务，影响了四大洲 8 个国家的 12 个站点，涉及 1,700 台物理服务器。
挑战
Hitachi Vantara 自 2012 年以来一直为汽车制造商宝马集团提供按需存储服务。该服务由位于德国慕尼黑的 20 名运营和迁移团队提供，并为全球所有宝马集团生产基地（包括德国工厂）提供支持、中国和美国 然而，现有的 Hitachi 存储平台已接近其使用寿命，需要升级到新的硬件。面临的挑战是在不中断生产连续性的情况下进行此升级。该项目规模庞大，影响四大洲 8 个国家的 12 个站点，涉及 1,700 台物理服务器。
解决方案
这个复杂的存储迁移项目的成功取决于四个关键因素：经验丰富且灵活的团队、经过验证的流程、Hitachi Vantara 的无中断迁移 (NDM) 技术以及强大的变更管理框架。日立迁移团队与宝马集团密切合作，制定了一项全球迁移计划，该计划利用了公司预定的停机时间以避免生产工厂受到干扰。为了最大限度地降低中断风险，日立为每种类型的系统开发了强大的迁移流程，并在实际迁移之前进行了密集测试。这些过程被完整地记录在操作手册中。严格的变更管理也很关键，日立团队的两名变更经理负责处理宝马集团或日立的任何请求。许多单独的系统迁移计划在周末进行，但为了保障宝马集团在整个项目中的业务连续性，最后一刻对时间表的更改是不可避免的。

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.
