Case Study: a global lifestyle apparel company achieves rapid, reliable cloud recovery for SAP systems with Kyndryl Cloud Uplift

Global Lifestyle Apparel Company enables rapid IBM Power recovery with Kyndryl Cloud Uplift

A global lifestyle apparel company faced a strict deadline to exit its previous owner's data centers and achieve technological independence. As part of this initiative, it sought a cloud-based disaster recovery solution for its mission-critical SAP ERP and distribution systems running on IBM Power hardware. The company partnered with vendor Kyndryl to find and validate this solution under significant time pressure.

Kyndryl implemented its Kyndryl Cloud Uplift service on Microsoft Azure, providing a cloud-based disaster recovery solution that allowed the apparel company to replicate its IBM AIX and i applications without modifications. This solution from Kyndryl reduced migration risk, avoided costly changes, and provided a scalable, low-cost DR environment that could be expanded to full production capacity on demand, enabling the company to benefit from Azure's global availability.
