9. ROADMAP OPPORTUNITIES
› Azure IaaS in general
› Single (virtual server) instance availability SLA
› Multiple Static VPN support
› Maintenance and Patch Governance process
› HANA on Azure
› Linux file backup
› Larger VM’s (0,5  3 TB)

10. CONCLUSION
If you have a cloud strategy (you should!) and
if you want to move on fast with HANA now,
certainly consider Azure as your HANA
platform.
You are on a future proof, open and flexible
road.
