Challenges
Solutions
GM Fabrics is facing challenges with its existing SAP ECC environment as its hardware has reached the end of its refresh cycle. The current system is struggling to deliver optimal performance, impacting end-user experience and overall business efficiency. Additionally, the lack of flexibility to scale resources in response to changing business demands limits their ability to adapt and grow. Managing the SAP environment has also become increasingly complex, requiring significant effort to maintain system stability and performance. Furthermore, the existing infrastructure needs enhanced security measures to ensure the protection of critical business data and applications. These challenges underscore the need for a modern, scalable, and secure solution to support GM Fabrics’ evolving business requirements.
Brio Technologies established a robust infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) by thoroughly analyzing GM Fabrics' existing architecture and user experience requirements to deliver a resilient and scalable environment. Infrastructure configurations on GCP are being optimized to align with SAP application functionality, ensuring efficient resource utilization. The backup solution for application databases is being enhanced with cloud-native tools to minimize network bandwidth usage, reduce storage costs, and enhance security.
