Accelerating your business
with SAP on AWS

2. “…it’s not only what the [SAP] development folks did but it’s
also a partner like Amazon who actually came forward and
provided a 14 TB [Hana] system. The time it takes to
provision that system is unbelievable. It’s amazing and
really helps us to deliver simplicity … We’ve got some big
ideas and we’re going to go big with this company”

3. Q - What is Amazon Web Services?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is
a secure cloud services platform,
comprised of more than 90 services,
that enables customers to run virtually
any application: from enterprise
applications like SAP to social games
and mobile apps AWS Global Infrastructure
Compute Storage Database
Network
Application Services
Deployment & AdministrationA -

4. Reduce Costs Increase Speed Improve Agility
Why are Enterprises Moving to the Cloud?

5. Move from risk-laden
up-front expense to
flexible variable expense
Stop guessing
at capacity planning
Go global in
minutes
Remove complicated infrastructure
management that adds little
business value
GE Oil & Gas is migrating 500 applications, and more than 750TB of data, to
the cloud by early 2017 as part of a major digital transformation, helping it
attain a 52% reduction in TCO and greater speed to market.
Get rid of time-consuming, expensive tasks

6. Lower the time spent
on infrastructure
Dedicate more
resources to innovation
Concentrate on new
business initiatives
“Our goal is to move at the speed of business. Our customers’ needs
change constantly, and we need to be able to adapt to that.”
Keith Homewood – Cloud Product Owner, Nordstrom
And focus on your core mission

the cloud
40+ different VM configurations, 20+ are
benchmarked and certified for SAP
solutions
Windows, SUSE Linux, and Red Hat Linux
operating systems
A logically isolated section of the AWS
cloud where you can launch AWS
resources in a virtual network that you
define.
VPN connection provides secure
connectivity between your VPC and on-
premises systems and users
Persistent block level storage volumes for
use with Amazon EC2 instances
EBS volumes offer the consistent and low-
latency performance needed to run
workloads like SAP S/4HANA
Amazon
Elastic Block Store (EBS)
Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Amazon
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Secure, durable and highly-scalable,
object/file storage in the cloud
Low cost backup storage for your SAP
