Group Tampieri | Consumer Packaged Goods | 250 | $40M | Italy | SAP | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | 2021 |
In 2021 Group Tampieri implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its ERP Financial system, migrating from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 with implementation support from Vm Sistemi. The rollout was positioned as both an application upgrade and an ICT infrastructure modernization, aligning ERP Financial functions with a HANA on POWER architecture to support finance and core ERP processes across the Group.
SAP S/4 HANA was deployed as the Production S/4 HANA component on IBM Power Systems, with the project specifying two IBM Power S922 servers each provisioned with 20 POWER9 processor cores and 1.5TB of RAM. The platform layer was built using PowerVM Enterprise Edition and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, with SAP HANA on POWER licensing and SAP S/4 HANA server sizing reflected in the two socket SAP license approach. The implementation included SAP HANA System Replication and a SUSE cluster to provide active standby replication for the S/4 HANA production database.
The program integrated the new SAP S/4 HANA environment with existing IBM i operations and high availability tooling, retaining IBM i V7.4 and deploying IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for resilience. Storage and SAN infrastructure were upgraded with expanded IBM Storwize 5100 drive capacity and refreshed SAN switches, and site connectivity was configured over high speed low latency Ethernet to enable geographic mirroring and cross site continuity. Security and operations tooling were integrated into the solution stack, including Palo Alto Next Generation Firewall appliances with GlobalProtect for VPN access, Bitdefender Ultra with EDR and patch management on endpoints and servers, and IBM QRadar as the SIEM for log collection and correlation.
Governance and continuity were focal points of the deployment, with SAP HANA System Replication used to replicate and preload data in a secondary site, enabling failover without a HANA database restart and thereby reducing Recovery Time Objective. IBM PowerHA and operating system level geographic mirroring for IBM i provide page level replication independent of storage, supporting business continuity in the event of an engine room loss. The combined infrastructure, platform and security architecture reflects a coordinated effort to centralize ERP Financial operations, strengthen IT security posture, and institutionalize disaster recovery and high availability practices across headquarters and remote sites.

Group Tampieri | Consumer Packaged Goods | 250 | $40M | Italy | SAP | SAP HANA | Database Management | 2021 |
In 2021 Group Tampieri deployed SAP HANA as its core database platform, executing a Database Management modernization of its ICT infrastructure with Vm Sistemi as the implementation partner. The rollout positioned SAP HANA on POWER hardware to support ERP and S/4 HANA production components and to centralize database management across headquarters and remote sites.
The physical deployment comprised two IBM Power Systems S922 servers each provisioned with 20 POWER9 processor cores and 1.5TB of RAM, new HMC management, PowerVM Enterprise Edition, SUSE SLES unlimited LPAR licensing and IBM i V7.4 with PowerHA licenses. Storage infrastructure was upgraded using IBM Storwize 5100 arrays expanded to 24 drives including eight 4.8TB FCM drives and the SAN fabric was refreshed with upgraded IBM SAN switches, delivering the platform requirements for SAP HANA on POWER.
Integrations implemented included SAP HANA System Replication coupled with a SUSE Linux cluster for the S/4 HANA production component, and IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i Enterprise Edition with IBM i level geographic mirroring to enable page level replication independent of storage. Security and operations tooling was integrated end to end, with Palo Alto Next Generation Firewall appliances deployed at the perimeter, GlobalProtect securing remote access, Bitdefender Ultra with EDR and patch management on endpoints and servers, and IBM QRadar SIEM receiving logs and network flows to correlate events and feed policy logic back to the firewall.
Operational scope covered ERP management applications, seed oil production and supporting business units across the group, with connectivity between sites provisioned over high speed, low latency Ethernet links to enable synchronous resilience. Governance practices centralized around SIEM driven alerting and firewall policy orchestration, enabling consistent security profiles for remote workers and reducing remote access blind spots.
The solution explicitly incorporated SAP HANA System Replication as the disaster recovery mechanism, preloading data in a secondary site to reduce recovery time objective and allowing the secondary site to assume primary database duties without a HANA database restart in the event of failover. These design choices were intended to guarantee operational continuity and business continuity even in the event of a complete loss of an engine room while maintaining the Database Management posture required by the organization.

Group Tampieri | Consumer Packaged Goods | 250 | $40M | Italy | SUSE Group | SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications | Operating System (OS) | 2021 |
In 2021 Group Tampieri implemented SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications as the core operating system for its SAP HANA landscape, using the Operating System (OS) to support the S/4 HANA production tier. The deployment was part of an ICT infrastructure modernization driven by the move to SAP HANA and the evolution of IBM Power Systems, and it directly addressed a prior IBM iSeries based SAP deployment on POWER hardware.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications was configured to support SAP HANA system replication and a Linux SUSE cluster for high availability, with operating system level tuning and SAP-aware parameterization typical for SAP workloads. The implementation made use of unlimited LPAR licensing patterns on PowerVM and was organized to support SAP HANA production workloads alongside existing IBM i instances, aligning OS-level configuration with SAP HANA best practices and cluster orchestration for failover readiness.
The SLES for SAP Applications rollout integrated with the physical IBM environment, including two IBM Power Systems S922 servers with new HMC, PowerVM Enterprise Edition, upgraded IBM Storwize 5100 storage, and upgraded SAN switches. The solution design included SAP HANA System Replication in combination with the SUSE cluster for S/4 HANA, IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i for resilience of IBM i workloads, and geographic mirroring at the IBM i operating system level for page-level replication. The SI/VAR Vm Sistemi participated in the POWER and HANA modernization program, and security and operations interfaces were integrated with Palo Alto Next Generation Firewall, GlobalProtect VPN, IBM QRadar SIEM, and Bitdefender EDR and patch management as described in the infrastructure program.
Governance and operational practices were aligned to support continuous availability and security posture, with SIEM-driven alerts and policy population feeding perimeter and endpoint controls, and documented reliance on SAP HANA system replication to enable takeover of the secondary site without a HANA database restart. The implementation emphasized platform-level continuity, OS-level clustering, and coordinated security monitoring, while maintaining the coexistence model between SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications and IBM i on the companys POWER infrastructure.
