Oscar Mayer

Oscar Mayer, a leading UK chilled food manufacturer, supplies top retailers and food service providers.

Oscar Mayer is a leading food manufacturer specialising in high-quality prepared meals for major UK retailers. The company operates multiple production sites across the UK, supplying millions of ready meals every week. Its operations span the entire value chain, from ingredient sourcing and recipe development to large-scale production and logistics, ensuring consistent quality, freshness, and food safety.

Oscar Mayer’s mission is to deliver great-tasting, nutritious food with care and efficiency, supported by a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous improvement. This commitment to doing things “right first time, every time” has positioned the company as one of the most trusted and efficient partners in the UK’s chilled food manufacturing sector.

The Challenge

Oscar Mayer faced challenges typical of the chilled food industry, where even brief downtime risked spoilage, revenue loss, and customer trust. With continuous uptime essential and cyber threats on the rise, they needed a robust solution combining high availability and disaster recovery to protect data integrity and ensure seamless operations.

The Solution

Oscar Mayer implemented IBM Flash Systems with HyperSwap and CopyAssure in an active-active configuration to ensure resilience and uninterrupted operations.

With both systems actively managing workloads, HyperSwap provided seamless failover so that if one system went down, the other automatically took over without disruption. This setup delivered near-zero downtime, even during planned maintenance or unexpected outages. By positioning the two systems in separate locations, Oscar Mayer also achieved geographic redundancy, adding an extra layer of protection against localised disruptions while maintaining continuous data availability.

The Results

With Celerity’s expertise, Oscar Mayer achieved uninterrupted operations through an active-active architecture that kept production running smoothly, even during hardware failures.

Celerity designed and implemented the IBM Flash Systems with HyperSwap and CopyAssure, strengthening resilience against downtime, data loss, and cyber threats. The solution also reinforced customer trust through reliable, on-time deliveries to major UK retailers and food service providers, while avoiding costly disruptions and spoilage delivered significant financial savings.

“Partnering with Celerity to implement IBM Flash Systems with HyperSwap and CopyAssure has strengthened our IT continuity, ensuring near-zero downtime, rapid recovery, seamless operations, and peace of mind for our critical systems.”
