Amazon Web Services
for SAP S/4HANA
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 services for SAP S/4HANA
On-demand resizable compute capacity in
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
systems
Only pay for what you need, with no
minimum commitments or up-front fees

Estimating SAP S/4HANA initial and future
memory requirements accurately can be
challenging
Infrastructure can be sized based on
actual requirements and then increased as
requirements increase
Infrastructure is oversized sized leading to
higher cost for underutilized infrastructure
The Challenge
AWS Infrastructure
Traditional Infrastructure
The Solution
Long-term Commitment
Cost savings
AWS’s economies of scale and
operational efficiencies translate into to
lower cost than you could achieve on
your own
Multiple purchasing options allow you
to optimize your cost
Trade capital expense for variable
expense. Only pay for infrastructure when
you consume it
“Up to 71% savings on the sum of all
TCO elements, AWS has an impact on”

Availability
Amazon EC2 Auto Recovery can
automatically recover an impaired
instance due to an underlying hardware
failure
Synchronously replicate to a second
Availability Zone to achieve a higher
level of availability than would be possible
in a single data center
Use S3 Cross-Region Replication to
replicate backups to another AWS region
