This document provides an overview of accelerating digital transformation by running SAP on AWS. It discusses AWS services that support SAP workloads like EC2, EBS, S3, Snowball. It covers supported SAP solutions, migrating SAP to AWS through homogeneous and heterogeneous methods. Benefits of deploying SAP on AWS are also summarized like speed, scalability, availability, disaster recovery.

12. On Premise AWS
Few Large Servers Many Smaller Servers
Approaches:
1) Build app server and
keep them down when
not used
2) Build the first app
server and then
created new app
servers based on this
first image as needed

Migrating SAP Systems to AWS (options)
31. Customer would like to change either the Operating System or Database of
SAP system as part of migration
• The Source SAP system is running on a OS/DB platform that is not support
supported in AWS
• Heterogeneous Migration tools/processes: SAP Tools – R3Load
• Near Zero Downtime Migration
• Customer Downtime window and size of the SAP database to migrated play a critical
role in selecting the migration approach
• On a high level for a typical heterogeneous migration involves
• Export of data from source SAP system in a OS/DB independent format
• Shipping/Copying data to target system
• Import of exported data in to target SAP instance in AWS
Heterogeneous System Copy
37. Speed
Provision compute, storage and network infrastructure for SAP HANA in less than an hour vs. weeks or
months with traditional infrastructure
Classic problem in SAP estates is how to increase rate of change
Scalability
Infrastructure can be sized based on actual requirements and then increased (or decreased) as requirements
dictate
Availability
Amazon EC2 Auto Recovery can automatically recover an impaired instance due to an underlying hardware
failure without having to pay for standby infrastructure
Synchronously replicate to a second Availability Zone to achieve a higher level of availability than would be
possible in a single data center
Disaster Recovery
Backup/Recovery model for DR – No need to pay for standby infrastructure
Replicated/Standby model for DR – By using DB-native replication or copying logs, DR can be anything from
cold, warm or hot depending on RTO/RPO requirements
Benefits of AWS
40. Change your SAP sizing in < 1 hour
Perform Hardware Refresh in < 1 hour
• SAP HANA (Average time)
New Certified System = 18 minutes
Scaling out SAP System = 6 minutes
• SAP Business Suite (Average time)
New Certified System = 70 minutes + DB Restore
