ForFarmers, an internationally operating feed company that offers complete feed solutions for (organic) livestock farming, has been a customer of BPSOLUTIONS in the field of housing, hosting their SAP-ECC environment for several years.
In mid-2019, ForFarmers asked to direct a challenging project to replace their current SAP ECC server platform, including a physical data center move. The platform is based on the IBM i operating system and IBM Power Systems.
Go-Live weekend
The actual move took place in the weekend of December 7 and 8, 2019. In collaboration with our partner newITera and of course the IT and business of ForFarmers, we have successfully completed this operation in a reasonably limited off-line window of 18 hours .
The ForFarmers organization was informed via a newsletter that stated:
A multidisciplinary IT team from ForFarmers moved the entire SAP ECC and SAP TMS environment from our production locations on the continent to a new server in our data center in Woerden last weekend. job. The team has been preparing for several months and after the last extensive testing we are now running on a new, modern server.
“…..Technically we are making a big leap forward with this server; it provides more capacity, is scalable and will help us make the necessary performance improvements. This allows us to guarantee the continuity and stability of SAP for the coming years. ”.
said ForFarmers.
