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 | IBM | IBM Power Systems | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2021 |
In 2021, Group Tampieri implemented IBM Power Systems as a core Application Hosting and Computing Services platform to support SAP HANA and ERP workloads. The deployment centers on two IBM Power Systems S922 servers provisioned with new HMC appliances, intended to consolidate SAP on IBM i and the S/4 HANA production landscape while enabling partitioned hosting of multiple enterprise applications.
Each IBM Power Systems S922 was configured with 20 POWER9 processor cores, 1.5TB of RAM, Fibre Channel HBAs 16Gb and 10Gb Ethernet adapters, and PowerVM Enterprise Edition for virtualization. The software stack includes SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with unlimited LPAR licensing for SAP, IBM i V7.4, PowerHA SystemMirror for i Enterprise Edition, and IBM support line coverage for Linux on Power, creating a unified Application Hosting and Computing Services environment across logical partitions.
The infrastructure program also upgraded storage and SAN fabric, expanding two IBM Storwize 5100 arrays to a 24 drive configuration by adding eight 4.8TB FCM drives and refreshing four IBM SAN switches to support enhanced FC connectivity. High availability and replication were implemented through SAP HANA System Replication together with a SUSE cluster for S/4 HANA, while geographic mirroring at the IBM i operating system level provides page-level replication independent of underlying storage, supporting rapid takeover without requiring HANA DB restart.
Vm Sistemi acted as the SI/VAR partner for design and rollout. Perimeter and endpoint security were integrated into the solution with Palo Alto Next Generation Firewall appliances and GlobalProtect for remote access, IBM QRadar SIEM for log and network flow correlation, and Bitdefender Ultra with EDR plus patch management on endpoints, servers and mobile devices. Site-to-site high-speed, low-latency Ethernet connectivity and PowerHA clustering underpin business continuity across headquarters and remote offices, and the overall implementation aligns compute, storage, networking and security to support the companys SAP and ERP operations.

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.
