Customer Name: Tolaram Group

Industry: FMCG

Business Problem: Mitigating Enterprise with BCDR 

Commercial Impact: Improved infrastructure high availability and DR plan

Partner: Reliance Infosystems ms 

Abstract

Tolaram as a multinational organization requires high availability for the SAP systems (S4HANA, GRC and Fiori) to avoid a single node of failure. Providing a higher up time percentage across all their platform was a paramount to the organization’s need.

Tolaram Group already host its infrastructure in azure and intends to use a different cloud service for its high availability and disaster recovery operations. Reliance Infosystems was able to prove to Tolaram that using azure multiple zones redundancy will achieve what the organization intends to do in a different public cloud with higher speed and improved security.

Understanding The Problem

As a multinational organization, Tolaram places a high priority on maintaining a high percentage of uptime across all their platforms as well as avoiding a single point of failure; this holds true even more so for its Enterprise Resource Planning Application – SAP systems (S4HANA, GRC, and Fiori), considering the criticality of these resources.

The absence of high percentage of uptime across all their platforms and existence of a single point of failure posed a critical risk to Toleram Group’s business activities, potentially leading to data loss, downtime, compliance issues, loss of customer trust, and financial losses.

How We Get The Job Done

Tolaram already had their ERP resources hosted on Azure, they however sought to achieve fault tolerance by replicating the applications with a different cloud provider.

Equipped with the understanding of Tolaram’s goal, as well as the outcome they wish to achieve, Reliance Infosystems leveraged her vast experience with successfully deliverying on similar engagements in the past to deliver envisioning sessions to Tolaram and successfully prove that using azure multiple zones redundancy will achieve what the organization intends to do in a different public cloud and with higher speed and improved security too.



Having proved to Tolaram group that Azure will not just deliver desired outcomes but higher speed and security, Reliance Infosystems implemented high-availability/disaster recovery solutions for her SAP application and Database on Azure to provide optimal RTO/RPO in almost an instant.
