Thousands of customer orders flow into Pella’s Oracle-
based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system each

change as an opportunity to improve business-
continuity resilience and the growth potential of its
production database platform.

firm selected the HP Integrity Superdome after carefully
evaluating options and vendors.
