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
