As a long-term customer, Amcor had previously deployed Orange
Business Services’ hybrid cloud solution, consolidating both its
private cloud managed infrastructure and global public cloud
services. For the public cloud services, which includes OS and
middleware management plus hosting and operating the IT
applications, Amcor uses Orange Business Services’ Flexible Engine
trusted Public Cloud solution, combined with the new SAP Hana
certified cloud solution.
Orange Business Services has now further extended this agreement
by providing Amcor with a fully managed end-to-end hybrid cloud
solution that includes the operating system, databases, as well as
disaster recovery and backup. In addition, Orange upgraded and
combined the existing data center environment by integrating some
of Amcor’s legacy ERP workloads with an SAP Hana solution and
relevant workloads.
Fully managed end-to-end hybrid cloud solution
Central to the consolidation, workloads have been balanced in
different data centers to allow both high availability and the
business to effectively benefit from operational efficiencies.
Workloads have been migrated to private cloud, while SAP workloads
are managed on Orange’s SAP HANA certified platform called Flexible
Engine for SAP, ensuring business continuity with complete
flexibility. It will also provide Amcor with an easy migration path
to SAP HANA, the new SAP “in-memory” database.
At the same time, other corporate applications have moved to
Flexible Engine. The entire hybrid cloud is now integrated with
Amcor’s existing Orange Business VPN network to securely manage
growing internet traffic and optimize cost and performance.
“We were looking for a global vendor that could simplify our
operations, while ensuring security, performance and 24/7
accessibility to our mission-critical applications and data. Orange
Business Services has fulfilled our remit, enabling us to better
balance workloads in the cloud, and providing us with an effective
solution that offers the flexibility we needed,” explained Joel
Ranchin, Vice President, Group IT, Amcor.
“We are pleased to be a part of Amcor’s maturing cloud journey,
providing it with the consultancy, expertise and fully managed
cloud services that provide them with the peace of mind that they
can actively support their business outcomes and growth,” said
Fabrice de Windt, senior vice president, Europe, Orange Business
Services.
