SSP Group

Serving up a smoother journey to the cloud

Travel food specialist SSP takes a big step in leveraging cloud technologies and cloud integration for its on-premises workloads by deploying Lenovo ThinkAgile MX and Azure Stack HCI.

“Hyperconverged infrastructure was unknown territory for us, and we had some hesitation about making such a big move. Lenovo took our concerns to Microsoft, and they co-funded a proof-of-concept for us. We were able to check out the tech for ourselves and see what it would be like to configure, manage, and even restore workloads. That really added to our confidence and confirmed that hyperconvergence was the way forward.”

Serving up a smoother journey to the cloud

SSP has already captured a big slice of the food services market—and it’s still hungry for more, aiming to become the leading food and beverage provider in travel locations worldwide.

The group sees the cloud as a key enabler of these growth objectives. With access to the cloud comes greater efficiency and agility, both of which are imperative to supporting an increasingly global business and meeting ever-evolving consumer and market demands.

That strategy has seen SSP embrace a hybrid cloud model in recent years. Alongside its traditional three-tier data center infrastructure, which supports a number of legacy applications, the group has been steadily moving more workloads to Microsoft Azure. Eager to pick up the pace of this transformation, SSP determined that the time was right to evolve to a more modern data center architecture—one that could easily scale with the group’s ambitions and provide the foundations for running fully on cloud.
