Success story: Cloud-based SAP for the agri-food sector

Altostratus and AWS accelerate SAP deployment in a leading company in the agri-food sector

On its path toward digital transformation, a leading company in the agri-food sector in Spain, with national and international operations, faced the challenge of enabling a cloud environment for SAP deployment in record time. The goal: 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 deploying SAP quickly and without margin for error

The company needed to set up a cloud environment for SAP within a matter of days, without a fully defined technical architecture. The challenge was intensified by the need to incorporate critical changes in real time, such as VPN and Active Directory configurations, and the need 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, so execution had to be flawless, flexible, and perfectly synchronized.

A custom cloud architecture with a 360° managed model

Altostratus designed and deployed a custom cloud architecture for SAP on AWS, based on optimized EC2 instances, managed storage with 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 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 up and running 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: fully managed environment with monitoring, backups, and proactive support, along with advanced protection policies.
  • Cost control from day one: clear and sustainable economic model (monthly estimates in euros, daily reporting, and custom alerts) that enabled precise monitoring and continuous resource optimization with 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 needs. Altostratus, part of Telefónica Tech, provided the technical expertise and support needed for the company to have a robust, managed SAP environment on AWS from day one
