Summary

Customer Impact Important Because:

• Customers looking for Extended Service Pack Overlap Support now have even further coverage.

• Customers who wanted LTSS previously, could only do so with BYOS and not through AWS Marketplace.

Support Lifecycle Update for SLES for SAP

Customers who purchase SLES for SAP from AWS will no longer need to purchase Long Term Service Pack Support (LTSS) for SLES for SAP Applications 12 and 15 to receive 4.5 years of support as long as the base code stream is still in general availability. This greatly simplifies the offering for SLES for SAP customers.

SAP Market LeadershipLeader in the ISG Provider Lens for SAP HANA

Key Excerpts:

• “…have a highly attractive product and service offering and a very strong market and competitive position; they fulfill all requirements for successful market cultivation. They can be regarded as opinion leaders, providing strategic impulses to the market. They also ensure innovative strength and stability.”

• “AWS’ ability to document its customer journeys on SAP provides strong differentiation versus other providers we evaluated.”

• “With support for extremely large scale-out clusters of HANA services (up to 50TB of memory), AWS is an industry leader for SAP global infrastructure and innovation. From its close work with SAP, we expect additional service releases, tooling and innovations on AWS infrastructure in 2018.”
