SAP on AWS: The Resilient, Cost-effective Cloud of Choice for Your Enterprise SAP Assets
SAP is at the heart of enterprise resources planning, functioning, and progress in the current era. Be it the on-prem or cloud version, SAP applications have transformed business operations for the good. Fast forward to the New Normal, SAP itself has adopted a cloud-first strategy to power their current and next innovations. Therefore, it’s but natural to migrate, modernize, and evolve SAP applications and workloads on a tailored, hyper-efficient, and cost-effective cloud platform such as AWS.
Historically, such a transition has shown considerable impact on not only the underlying IT stack but also people and processes. To make SAP on AWS transformation seamless and effective, Cloud4C offers unmatched end-to-end migration solutions, managed services and infrastructure automation suite for SAP applications on AWS. Cloud4C’s SAP on AWS solutions help enterprises transform their SAP core systems and adopt cloud at speed and scale with increased quality, consistency and breakthrough efficiency. Cloud4C lays the foundation for innovation and transformation with Analytics and IoT through its SAP workloads migration strategy.

Why Migrate SAP to AWS?
Allow Cloud4C to unlock fail-proof modernization of enterprise resources on AWS cloud. Drive success through real-time data visibility, high performance operations, uninterrupted security and continuity, and cost-optimized business strategies.
Leverage AWS global infrastructure built around multiple isolated regions and Availability Zones (AZs) connected through low-latency and high throughput.
Eliminate application-level single points of failure (SPOFs)
Reduce refresh cycle time by 50% using AWS Lambda and Step Function
Increase backup success rate with snapshots and automated scheduling assistant
Cloud4C delivers a comprehensive security approach for SAP on AWS beyond infrastructure and SAP application security. For example, VAPT, SAP custom code scanning, threat intelligence, forensics among others.
AWS Shared Security model provides data security up to OS level, including from guest-OS and hypervisor to the bottom of the stack, not to mention physical security of DCs.
AWS SAP provides AVPC (Amazon Virtual Private Cloud) which links your workloads with their data centers forming a private network with the benefits of AWS Infrastructure.
Companies moving their SAP landscapes to AWS Cloud can cut TCO by between 20 and 40 percent.
AWS SAP turns CAPEX (Capital Expenses) into variable OPEX (operational expense)
The prime savings are in infrastructure investments, implementation and its operations as you do not require any capital investment other than SAP and database licenses.
No hidden NPAs and additional costs involved
Cloud4C developed a series of DevOps tools that automate deployments and operations for SAP on AWS.
The tools are built on best practices for SAP architecture deployments, and can work for popular SAP products.
SAP on AWS has AWS Global locations coupled with AWS Outposts which addresses the challenge of latency and the need to comply with Data Sovereignty rules.
AWS Outposts allows enterprises to securely store and process customer data that needs to remain on premises or in countries where there is no AWS region.
This is important for companies in highly regulated industries and countries with data sovereignty requirements, such as banking and finance among others.
Deploying S/4 HANA in an on-premise landscape is time consuming and comes with high cost, hardware dependencies and operational overheads.
Faster provisioning of infrastructure for SAP S/4 HANA.
On demand scale up and high availability of the infrastructure.
Pay only for the used cloud services and reduce the overall expense.
SAP on AWS supports a wide array of servers and it eliminates the need to change your existing server.
Servers that are compatible with SAP on AWS are: Windows server 2008 R2, Oracle Linux, SUSE Linux enterprise server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
SAP on AWS also enables running on different databases like SAP HANA and Microsoft SQL.
AWS SAP service enables you to run your workloads with high throughput and low latency.
It provides the promise of high performance and speed that are the core requirements for any SAP workflow.
AWS SAP service provides you with data backup and recovery features at no extra cost.
AWS SAP HANA service and AWS Back Int Agent for SAP HANA allow you to restore SAP HANA workloads running on Amazon EC2 instances.
Reinvent your SAP Workloads with the Agility, Flexibility, and Cost-effectiveness of AWS Cloud.
