Domino Sugar Puts SAP in the Cloud
Domino Sugar (American Sugar Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates), the largest producer and distributor of sweetener products in North America inclusive of the Domino, C&H, Redpath and Florida Crystals brands, deploys Virtustream Inc.'s xStream Cloud platform in order to optimize its entire infrastructure, which includes a multi-thousand seat SAP enterprise application system.
"With several businesses operating in multiple countries around the world and new systems being added regularly, our IT infrastructure is incredibly complex. We knew we needed to leverage the Cloud and we found the xStream platform was the only solution available today that provided us with the right combination of performance and security worthy of our enterprise class requirements," says Don Whittington, chief information officer, Domino Sugar. "As a result, our SAP production systems now operate up to twice as fast on xStream, are highly available and secure, and Virtustream's infrastructure utility-based deployment and pricing gives us the flexibility to rapidly add resources on demand."
