Case Study: a leading cement giant in Saudi Arabia achieves cloud-resilient disaster recovery with Stromasys Charon-SSP

Leading Cement Giant in Saudi Arabia modernizes SPARC with Stromasys in 90 days

A leading cement manufacturer in Saudi Arabia was facing significant challenges due to its aging Fujitsu SPARC server infrastructure. The hardware was obsolete and costly, creating a catastrophic single point of failure with frequent ERP and database downtime. Limited cloud migration options and a lack of technical expertise for SPARC systems prompted the company to seek a solution, which they found by partnering with Stromasys.

Stromasys implemented its Charon SSP emulation solution to modernize the legacy environment without any code rewrites. The solution enabled a fully tested disaster recovery setup on AWS with automatic failover, providing complete Solaris compatibility in the cloud. This Stromasys deployment delivered exceptional results within 90 days, eliminating the single point of failure and creating a cloud-resilient, cost-effective infrastructure.
