YOUR CHALLENGES

OUR SOLUTIONS

Digital transformation

More than ever, agri-food companies need up-to-date technology to remain competitive, improve product quality and safety, and meet consumer expectations.

Bespoke cloud platforms

Adopting bespoke cloud platforms, such as Edwin, allows food and beverage companies to collect and analyze data in real time. For example, cloud-connected IoT sensors can monitor crop growing conditions and adjust irrigation and fertilization settings to maximize yields.

Data security

The advent of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and the proliferation of interconnected systems make supply chains and infrastructure more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Reduce cyberattack risks

Food and beverage companies can use advanced security systems to detect and prevent cyberattacks, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.
Edwin meets the highest security standards, including AES 256 data encryption.

IT infrastructure management

Having your own IT support team can be costly and usually doesn’t provide proactive monitoring and rapid problem resolution to minimize service interruptions.

IT managed services

R2i’s managed services provide food and beverage companies with continuous monitoring of IT infrastructure, enhanced security, increased flexibility, reduced costs, and access to broad expertise, all of which improves performance and competitiveness.
By outsourcing the management of your IT infrastructure to R2i, agri-food companies can focus on their core business with complete peace of mind.

Case study

Migration to Edwin, the R2i Cloud

A leading dairy processing company wants to adopt a Cloud approach to free itself from the responsibilities and constraints of managing IBM Power servers whose lease contracts are coming to an end. The migration of the 40 environments to the Cloud must be completed in 3 months, before the very busy end-of-year period.

Challenges

Flexibility
The company is not able to quickly adapt its production capacity to meet customer demand.

Application availability
Backup plan and disaster recovery management are not aligned with recovery requirements and objectives.

Expertise
Company staff do not have the expertise required to migrate to cloud infrastructure.

Solutions

The company decided to migrate to Edwin, the R2i public cloud, in order to benefit from a more flexible and secure infrastructure. Here are the key stages of this migration, from the first consultation to the migration of the on-premises environment to Edwin.

 

Assessment and planning : R2i carries out a comprehensive assessment of the existing infrastructure and develops a detailed migration plan, including the design of the complex telecommunications network and hardware requirements.

Application migration : Critical applications are migrated to Edwin using advanced migration tools and proven methodologies.

R2i implements a solution that includes the following services:

  • Edwin, the R2i cloud for IBM i and AIX
  • Installation and management of a private dark fiber network
  • Extended Managed Services for Power environments
  • Backup and disaster recovery management
  • Governance and security

I can finally sleep at night.
– François Latreille, Senior Director, IT Infrastructure and services

Results

  • The solution was successfully implemented on schedule.
  • The client now has the most efficient cloud infrastructure and can add capacity on demand as its needs grow.
  • It no longer has infrastructure to manage and can therefore devote more time and resources to its core activities.
  • Once the migration was completed, the client told us they could finally sleep soundly!
