AWS is certified to run key SAP enterprise solutions, such as SAP Business Suite and SAP HANA, in production on the AWS cloud. Learn more about the recommended best practices for systems migration, including how to prepare your environment for minimal downtime; security design; database configuration including EC2 instance configuration; and backup and restore for SAP. We will also discuss high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) scenarios for SAP. This session will highlight several customer success stories, and provide details on where to find available tools and trials to get started.

18. Kellogg’s uses AWS to save $900,000 over 5 years over using on-premises infrastructure
Kellogg’s produces breakfast foods for more than 180 countries worldwide, with annual revenue of almost $15 billion.
Using AWS saves us $900,000 in infrastructure costs alone, and lets us run dozens of simulations a day so we can reduce trade spend. It’s a win-win.
•Needed a better way to track and model promotional costs (“trade spend”) to improve the bottom line—and needed to be able to run more than 1trade-spend simulation/day
•By using SAP HANA on AWS, Kellogg estimates it will save $900,000 over 5 years versus traditional on-premises infrastructure alternatives
•As well, the company can run dozens of trade- spend simulations each day, and has decreased deployment time by 30 times
