Leading global energy business migrating all
data and its 900 key applications from European mega data centers
to AWS, driving operational and energy efficiencies
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that BP, a leading global energy
business, is closing its European mega data centers and migrating
all data and 900 key applications currently hosted there to AWS, as
part of a company-wide program to accelerate the digitization of
its infrastructure and operations. The two European mega data
centers, the largest that BP operates globally, host data from
across all BP’s businesses. Moving to AWS enables BP to use a broad
and deep portfolio of cloud services, including machine learning,
analytics, storage, security, databases, and compute to gain
greater insights and automate processes.
The data center migration expands upon BP’s existing
relationship with AWS, which has helped the organization to improve
operational efficiencies, eliminate upfront capital expenditures,
and quickly adapt to market changes. In its global Downstream
business, BP’s refineries run AVEVA Unified Supply Chain
(previously Spiral Suite) software, a crucial decision-making
analytics platform, on AWS. By deploying AVEVA Unified Supply Chain
on AWS, a problem that with legacy solutions would have required
seven hours of calculation time, can now be performed in less than
four minutes. BP has also successfully migrated approximately half
of its 65 business critical SAP production environments to AWS,
which has improved system performance and integrity.
With this success, the company now plans to accelerate the
migration of additional SAP applications to AWS. In addition, BP is
creating a data lake on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3),
for use across its businesses, and will use Amazon Kinesis, a
service that enables organizations to easily collect, process, and
analyze real-time, streaming data, to gain timely insights for its
emissions monitoring and gas station pump operations. With this
information and leveraging Amazon SageMaker, a machine learning
(ML) service that provides organizations with the ability to build,
train, and deploy ML models quickly, BP will be able to make
predictions that will help the energy company make faster business
decisions and drive efficiencies. Moving forward, BP aims to
continue to advance its cloud-first enterprise data strategy to
significantly improve its supply-chain operations and deliver
advanced Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for increased safety,
predictive maintenance, corrosion detection, logistics tracking,
and intelligent assistance.
BP’s cloud-first IT approach is helping it simplify processes
and enhance productivity as part of its strategy to help advance
the energy transition. In support of the energy transition, the
companies announced in a separate release, that AWS has signed two
renewable energy projects with BP that will provide over 170
megawatts (MW) of wind and solar capacity in Sweden and Spain each
year over the next decade to supply energy to Amazon’s fulfillment
network in Europe and Amazon Web Services data centers.
“We’ve been working with AWS for many years, and today’s
announcements further strengthen that relationship. AWS is helping
BP to transform our operations, and together we are using the cloud
and renewable energy resources to drive energy efficiencies,” says
BP CIO Steve Fortune. “Exiting our European data centers and
migrating to AWS supports our digital transformation agenda, and
we’re excited about the possibilities for increased flexibility,
operational efficiencies, and opportunities to innovate while
helping to advance the energy transition.”
“We are pleased to expand our relationship with BP as the
company moves its largest mega data centers, which host
mission-critical data applications, to AWS,” said Bill Vass, VP
Technology, Storage, Automation, and Management at AWS. “AWS is the
world’s leading cloud, with an unmatched portfolio of cloud
services, proven performance, and operational expertise, which is
why global companies like BP trust AWS to support their digital
transformations.”
