Cloud ERP Manage
MDO™ is Lemongrass’s premium, patent-pending solution that drastically reduces downtime for SAP operations in the Cloud. Powered by the Lemongrass Cloud Platform (LCP), MDO simplifies and automates key SAP tasks—so you can manage your environment with less effort, lower risk, and minimal disruption.
Minimized Downtime Operations (MDO™)
Why MDO?
Traditional SAP maintenance can mean hours of planned downtime and significant business impact. MDO was built to change that.
With MDO, you can quickly perform common SAP changes—like system patching, resizing, or cloning—while keeping your systems online. You also get real-time visibility into change progress, system health, and infrastructure optimization opportunities—all from a single dashboard.
How It Works
MDO uses automation and an intelligent object model to build, test, and validate new infrastructure with your required updates. Data is synced from the live system, and a seamless cutover ensures minimal disruption. Your SAP environment stays available throughout—only cutover and business acceptance testing involve brief planned downtime.
Key Capabilities
- Near-zero downtime for SAP system changes
- OS, DB, and SAP kernel patching
- SAP system refresh and cloning
- Vertical and horizontal scaling
- Immutable, compliant builds to enhance security
- Built-in ransomware prevention
Immutable SAP with MDO
MDO enables Immutable SAP—where infrastructure and software components are replaced, not modified. This approach brings major benefits:
- Reliability: Consistent, repeatable deployments with no drift
- Security: No human access to sensitive systems or data
- Speed: Updates are faster and safer, with no disruption
- Scalability: Easily spin up new, updated environments to meet demand
Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery for SAP: Fast, Reliable Recovery with Minimal Downtime
When disaster strikes—whether it’s a data center failure, cyberattack, or system corruption—every second counts. Lemongrass helps you protect your business, your data, and your reputation with enterprise-grade Disaster Recovery (DR) services built specifically for SAP in the Cloud.
Built for Business Continuity
Many companies struggle to meet the recovery time (RTO) and data loss (RPO) thresholds their SAP environments demand. Lemongrass combines deep SAP expertise with leading hyperscaler technologies to ensure your critical systems are restored quickly, securely, and accurately—with minimal disruption and data loss.
How It Works
We continuously replicate your SAP workloads—OS, configuration, databases, apps, and files—into a low-cost Cloud staging area. In the event of a failure, thousands of systems can be automatically restored and launched within minutes, slashing the cost and complexity of traditional DR infrastructure.

Lemongrass Platform Security Framework
Secure by Design
Lemongrass is a proud signatory of CISA’s Secure by Design pledge. We build security into every layer of our systems—from architecture to operations—ensuring they are Secure by Design, Secure by Default, and Secure in Operation. Our risk-driven approach to vulnerability management, backed by leading SecOps partners, helps safeguard your SAP workloads against evolving cyber threats.
Security Capabilities and Services
Attack Surface Management (ASM)
Managing vulnerabilities across Cloud, OS, and application layers can be complex—especially when different teams own each layer. Traditional vulnerability management often focuses on CVSS scores, which can lead to misplaced priorities—fixing high-score issues on low-impact systems instead of critical risks to your business.
Lemongrass ASM solves this.
Powered by the Nucleus SaaS platform, ASM automatically consolidates and prioritizes vulnerabilities based on real risk, business context, and active threat intelligence. It integrates with leading tools like Qualys, Wiz, Nessus, Avantra, CrowdStrike, and native CSPM tools from major Cloud providers—so you get more value from what you already use.
Key Benefits:
- Actionable Risk Prioritization: Get a clear, ranked “Top 10” risk list—focused on what matters most to your business.
- Seamless Integration: Works with your current vulnerability scanners—no need to replace agents.
- Smarter Remediation: Identify your most exposed assets and the fixes that deliver the biggest security impact.
Lemongrass ASM ensures you're always focused on reducing real risk—fast, smart, and with clarity.
Security Operations (SecOps)
Threat actors are evolving faster than traditional defenses. Even strong preventative and detective controls can’t catch everything. Security Operations is your last—and most critical—line of defense. Because Lemongrass manages some of your most important systems, we partner with the world’s leading SecOps providers to keep your Cloud environments secure.
Lemongrass teams with CrowdStrike to deliver continuous, world-class monitoring and defense across your Cloud, network, and OS layers. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete provides Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOC services—detecting threats in real time and taking immediate, pre-approved action to contain them. You define the rules of engagement, ensuring non-critical systems can be isolated proactively without disrupting mission-critical workloads.
Lemongrass operates as your Tier 3 SOC, coordinating CrowdStrike’s actions with our own operations teams who deeply understand your environment, workloads, and business context. As our service evolves, we will extend this same protection to the SAP application layer.
Key Benefits:
- CrowdStrike Tier 1/2 SOC: Continuous monitoring and active defense across Cloud, network, and OS layers.
- Lemongrass Tier 3 SOC: Expert coordination that aligns security actions with the realities of your environment.z
Threat Hunting
Today’s threat landscape is saturated with everything from broad-based malware to highly targeted, well-funded adversaries. Standard controls can miss the attacks that matter most—those specifically designed to bypass your unique combination of industry, geography, and technology. The most sophisticated threats don’t trigger alerts. That’s why waiting isn’t an option.
Lemongrass Targeted Threat Hunting provides proactive, intelligence-driven detection designed to surface what traditional tools overlook. Our security experts use threat intelligence to identify adversaries targeting organizations like yours, develop custom hypotheses based on their tactics and techniques, and perform deep hunts for high-fidelity indicators of compromise. The result: hidden threats uncovered, assumptions validated, and your overall security posture strengthened.
Key Benefits:
- Focused Detection: Hunt the adversaries actively targeting your business—not hypothetical risks.
- Faster Discovery: Identify sophisticated threats earlier in their lifecycle, before damage occurs.
- Stronger Security Posture: Improve your ability to detect and respond to complex attacks.
- Tailored to You: Investigations shaped by your industry, geographic exposure, and technology stack.
- Threat Intelligence in Action: Convert TTPs and high-fidelity IoCs into real, proactive defense.
- Expert-Led: Access seasoned security professionals with deep threat-hunting expertise.
With Lemongrass, you gain a partner with deep experience protecting sensitive workloads in the Cloud. Whether you're migrating or optimizing, we deliver the expertise, tools, and certifications to help you stay secure, compliant, and confident.
