Case Study: Bharathi Cement achieves 40% cost savings and a future-proof virtualized SAP datacenter with VMware

VMware helped Bharathi Cement migrate from legacy IT infrastructure to modern IT that can meet the demands of automated operations

Bharathi Cement Corporation Pvt. Ltd., a major Indian cement manufacturer with two high‑end plants and a nationwide distribution network, faced a technology refresh as its six‑year‑old datacenter struggled to support newly adopted SAP and modern production demands. The company needed a future‑proof, non‑disruptive solution to consolidate storage, compute and networking, improve visibility and capacity planning, and enable automated, intelligent operations.

Using VMware vSphere, vSAN and Horizon, Bharathi Cement moved to a software‑defined, hyper‑converged datacenter that runs SAP on virtual storage, consolidates infrastructure and delivers a unified management view. The rollout improved storage performance, cut resource provisioning from days to minutes, enabled automated monitoring and workload rebalancing, and reduced CapEx and OpEx by about 40%, boosting efficiency, scalability and agility.
