Altostratus and AWS accelerate the deployment of SAP at a leading agrifood company
On its journey toward digital transformation, a leading agrifood company in Spain, with both national and international operations, faced the challenge of enabling a cloud environment in record time to deploy SAP. The objective was to ensure a robust, secure, and scalable system capable of supporting critical operations from day one.
To achieve this, the company relied on Altostratus, part of Telefónica Tech, which designed and implemented an SAP architecture on AWS optimized for speed, security, and operational efficiency.
The challenge of rapidly deploying SAP with no margin for errorr
The company needed to set up a cloud environment for SAP within a matter of days, without starting from a fully defined technical blueprint. The challenge was further intensified by the need to incorporate critical changes on the fly, such as VPN and Active Directory configuration, as well as to coordinate multiple teams (internal, technical, and SAP partners) under an extremely tight schedule. Any delay would have had a direct impact on operations and planning, making flawless, flexible, and perfectly synchronized execution essential.
A tailored cloud architecture with a 360° managed model
Altostratus designed and deployed a tailored cloud architecture for SAP on AWS, based on optimized EC2 instances, managed storage using EFS and S3, and RDS databases that ensure consistent performance and reliability. Connectivity was reinforced with VPN and NAT Gateway, along with advanced security policies protecting every layer of the environment.
The entire system was delivered under a 360° managed services model, combining continuous monitoring, automated backups, antivirus protection, and proactive support.
This approach not only ensured a stable and secure service but also prepared the infrastructure to grow and adapt to future needs.
SAP up and running in 10 days, with full security and control
The project enabled the company to have its SAP environment on AWS in just 10 days, ensuring security, comprehensive management, and alignment with its business objectives.
The main achievements include:
- Agile deployment: SAP infrastructure ready within an extremely tight schedule, with immediate accessibility for technical teams and SAP partners.
- Comprehensive management and security: a fully managed environment with monitoring, backups, and proactive support, along with advanced protection policies.
- Cost control from day one: a clear and sustainable economic model (monthly estimates in euros, daily reporting, and custom alerts) that enabled precise monitoring and continuous resource optimization using AWS Trusted Advisor.
This approach not only ensured a fast and secure deployment but also guaranteed that the infrastructure could grow in a controlled and sustainable manner alongside the business’s needs. Altostratus, part of Telefónica Tech, provided the technical expertise and support necessary for the company to have, from day one, a robust, managed SAP environment on AWS, ready to evolve with its operations.
