Founded in 1933, Danfoss engineers solutions that increase energy efficiency, enhance machine productivity, reduce carbon emissions, and enable electrification. Danfoss has been facing the challenge of maintaining its high standards of data sovereignty, reliability and sustainability while experiencing transformative growth driven by the company’s sustainability goals. To overcome this challenge, Danfoss sought out a flexible, scalable and cost-efficient IT solution that could support its business processes and innovation initiatives running at the edge, on its own modular data centers.

Danfoss modernizes its IT landscape with RISE with SAP and HPE GreenLake

To support its growth and transformation, Danfoss decided in 2016 to modernize the company’s IT landscape with SAP S/4HANA, the next-generation intelligent suite of integrated business applications.

Danfoss chose HPE GreenLake for SAP S/4HANA Cloud to accelerate their sustainable cloud strategy because it delivers the advantages and experience of cloud while allowing them to run their mission-critical SAP workloads in their own energy efficient data centers.

The solution selected by Danfoss is a unique offering, co-innovated by HPE and SAP. It enables organizations like Danfoss, who opt for RISE with SAP, to enjoy the benefits of a cloud experience while keeping their mission-critical SAP workloads in a private environment, where their apps and data reside. This proximity offers several advantages, such as enhanced control over data, reduced latency for faster access and processing, and increased security for sensitive information. All of this powered by HPE’s best-in-class cloud infrastructure.

“We have selected RISE with SAP and HPE GreenLake not only to reap the benefits of investing in the most up to date digital solutions, but also to demonstrate that it is possible to optimize existing data centers operations while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Energy efficiency is not something we need to trade off against other important parameters, but rather it needs to be on an equal footing as a key parameter alongside other standard business priorities. This collaboration allows us to keep our data and applications in our own highly energy efficient data centers and gives us the best of both worlds: the cloud advantages while keeping our data close,” says Sune Baastrup, Chief Information Officer, Danfoss.
