The world’s largest marketer of kiwi fruit, Zespri International, relies on a large SAP and SQL Server infrastructure to
manage its operations in more than 53 countries.
Zespri began a strategic initiative to move their SAP operations to Microsoft Azure to leverage the flexibility and scalability of the Azure cloud. For this initiative to be successful, they needed to ensure that their business critical SAP and SQL Server applications would continue to meet the stringent levels of service and availability their business demands.
They faced the challenge of delivering high availability and disaster protection for their critical applications in a cloud,
where shared storage failover clustering is not available. “We needed a simple, cost-efficient solution that would protect critical SAP Central Services but would not add complexity to our move to Azure,” said Andrew Goodin, Global
Manager Information Services, Zespri International.
