Common Challenges faced in these Industries
Inconsistent Performance: With SAP innovating with new features and capabilities, the traditional on-premises Infrastructure is unable to adapt with it to deliver the performance benchmarks needed for Intensive Enterprise applications like SAP leading to operational bottleneck and business loss.
Very Limited Scalability: With business becoming more and more dynamic resulting in sudden surge and rapid growth, traditional infrastructure either proves to be non-scalable without reinvesting and needs long wait times.
High Cost: Capital Expenditure associated with On-premises Infrastructure setup or upgrades are so high especially with SAP taking the In-memory Database model with HANA.
Inefficient Operations: Running an on-premise Infrastructure requires managing different vendors and needs diverse skillsets to manage the same. Result is inefficiency and high Operational Expenses.
Poor Service Availability: Most organizations have identified various Single point of failures while dealing with a traditional on-premise infrastructure which has resulted in long services outages.
Lack of Business Continuity: Most organizations admitted they weren’t able to recover their valuable data and services during man-made as well as natural disasters.
Security & Compliance: Many of our customers have found Security & Compliance to be a very expensive proposition in their IT budget until they moved to Cloud. It was mainly due to the need to procure multiple 3rd party tools and services while also investing in upkeeping them.
Industries Adopted
Food Processing, Manufacturing, Retail
Adoption Methodology
Migration Approach: To mitigate the challenges associated with migrating SAP and other dependent workloads, Scaleios performed a comprehensive assessment of the client’s already existing IT infrastructure environment (whether it is on-premises or other hosting or cloud platforms), including their SAP Landscape, other associated applications and external integrations if any. A detailed analysis including the aspects like availability, integrity and security were considered. Migration approach to Public Cloud shall depend on the data points identified during the assessment.
Availability, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: Solution Architecture is vetted for service availability as agreed with the customer along with backup strategy for various components and services. SAP being the most critical application in most organizations, BCP/DR strategy is also discussed with customers and included in the solution. This ensures all round availability of SAP & associated services and Business Continuity of the environment with minimal retrieval turnaround. This approach ensures that the client’s environment remains robust and resilient against potential disruptions and best practices are validated along with process improvements.
Sizing Considerations: Based on the data points about the existing infrastructure sizing and the effective utilization in recent past and considering the growth projection in immediate future, first cut sizing of the servers and other services arrived. The first cut sizing is further scrutinized against the baselines on the proposed cloud platform based on previous deployment experience and fine-tuned to make sure resources are not over provisioned, but the performance shall not be impacted during the optimization.
Post-migration Fine-tuning: Once all the workloads in scope is migrated successfully to the proposed Cloud platform, Scaleios integrates the solution to 24/7 Monitoring service and all key performance parameters are tracked closely. Periodic user feedback is also collected to understand how the workloads are performing in the new cloud environment. Any observations in the monitoring activity or user feedback are analysed and changes or tweaking of architecture or sizing is rolled out after customer approvals. Also, all the redundancies for failover, recovery of services from backup and invocation of DR are also performed before signing off the project completion. These measures collectively provided a highly efficient, reliable, and cost-effective IT environment, tailored to the client’s unique needs and designed to support their business operations seamlessly.
What assured Customer Delight after adopting Cloud
- High Performance: Scaleios helped customers to choose between World’s best Cloud Platforms which suit their business case to the fullest and select the most appropriate server types and services for each workload. Customers are not locked to a specific product or technology on Cloud, we were able to seamlessly transition workloads to the latest and the best CPU’s and GPUs time to time.

Zero wait time for migration from 3rd Party DB to HANA or Windows to SUSE as no long procurement cycles involved.
- Cost Effective: Cloud is a Pay-as-you-go offering and a huge shift for a customer from CAPEX to OPEX model. We helped save a minimum of 30% on their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for every single customer while a few of them even realized >40% savings in year 1 itself. DR Solutions on Cloud can be up to 80% cheaper than a traditional solution. Optimal cost is our assurance.
- Seamless Operations: Your SAP journey is truly made simple with just two partners which is Scaleios and your SAP Application Partner. Our customers have forgotten the days where they used to run behind multiple parties including IT and non IT vendors to solve issues.
- High Availability: Minimum of 99.95% service availability is the commitment in solutions we have delivered. Scaleios have a 24/7 Support Engine dedicated to upkeep the SLAs and support our customers.
- BCP/DR: Most of our customers recognized the DR capabilities in a Cloud solution to be miles ahead of any traditional solutions and still highly cost effective. We have interesting case studies of helping our customers Recovering from Ransomeware attacked with zero data loss.
- Improved Security & Compliance: With World’s best Cloud providers owning the physical security and even logical security to a great extent, what is left for a customer to own and manage in terms of security has also become more finite and easier. Ability to integrate 3rd party security services if needed in an OPEX or Pay-as-you-go model has made cutting edge technologies accessible than ever.
