Optimize Your SAP Environment with AWS

The idea of digitizing your business has become a matter of when. Migrating critical loads of data to the cloud is a vital part of this transformation. While deciding on a cloud provider, IT executives are under pressure to find a solution that enables greater agility, reduced costs, and the ability to innovate core business processes.

At the core of many businesses embarking on this journey, there is an SAP environment. However, SAP workloads represent some of the deepest and critical integrated business applications, IT executives are obligated to look for ways to execute this migration in a reliable and timely manner. Organizations migrating to the cloud cannot risk productivity loss or application downtime.

AWS provides resources and tools to support you migrate to the cloud reliably and quickly, whether you are simply shifting or lifting your existing environment or migrating to SAP HANA.

Why migrate SAP workloads?

A complete cloud for business innovation

AWS provides a deep and broad set of integrated services among cloud providers, covering traditional offerings. AWS continuously updates and expands their offerings based on customer feedback, maintaining pace of innovation to help you continue to drive new value from your SAP environment.

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership

AWS offers access to low-cost IT infrastructure that can rapidly de-provision and provision on-demand while paying only for the resources that are used. This, pooled with the removal of significant upfront investments and continual hardware maintenance costs, helps reduce the total cost of ownership of the SAP environment.

Secure and compliant cloud infrastructure

AWS is intended to help customers meet the terms of a wide variety of regulatory and specific industry requirements. Moreover, AWS delivers dozens of assurance programs that help meet these requirements, evaluate whether it constantly remains compliant, and stay audit-ready.

SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA on AWS

SAP HANA is a data platform that consolidates the data needs, streamlining management, and removing silos. Customers can run SAP S/4HANA – an intelligent ERP system – on SAP HANA to take advantage of powerful analytics capabilities and deliver new value to their customers.

Many enterprise customers choose to run SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA on AWS because they gain on-demand access to IT resources that support the memory-intensive workloads. Additionally, by running on AWS, these organizations gain access to a broad and deep set of native services spanning emerging technologies. By integrating these services with their SAP workloads, organizations can continually innovate business processes and drive efficiency.

The SAP Rapid Migration Test

The SAP Rapid Migration test is a set of processes, procedures, and tools that help customers running SAP applications on non-SAP HANA databases migrate to SAP HANA or SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise on AWS.
