As total digital transformations creep further into the priorities of business leaders, SAP users should expect the unexpected. Not everything goes to plan during cloud migrations, placing importance on secure and reliable multi-cloud recovery solutions for when disaster strikes.
For CELSA Group, a prominent figure in steel product manufacturing, SAP’s solutions are a critical part of its business operations and it was imperative to find safeguards that would work with SAP, not against it. The steel company undertook a strategic initiative to migrate its SAP S/4HANA for disaster recovery on to Google Cloud, serving as an example of how strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technology can fortify business continuity and leverage SAP solutions within the Google Cloud environment.
Prior to the migration, CELSA Group’s existing architecture struggled to meet the evolving standards of security and reliability. The potential ramifications of downtime, stemming from issues like system patching challenges or cyber threats, can lead to significant financial losses and operational setbacks.
The steel company’s resilience strategy mitigates such risks, enabling the swift transition of business applications in under an hour, thus allowing the organization to focus its efforts where they matter most. Integrating SAP systems with Google Cloud allows seamless transition between production and disaster recovery environments with minimal data loss, whether planned or unplanned.
By hosting production and disaster recovery environments on separate cloud platforms, CELSA Group has fortified its infrastructure with an essential layer of redundancy, ensuring near-continuous access to critical systems. With added rigorous stress testing for real-life scenarios, CELSA Group now maintains consistent service levels.
CELSA Group’s migration of its SAP disaster recovery environment to Google Cloud complements its SAP systems, contributing to improved security, reliability and overall business continuity. Through the adoption of a multi-cloud model for disaster recovery, SAP users stand to safeguard their systems despite constant innovations and changes.
