Migrating SAP to the AWS cloud means transferring your SAP business data and apps to Amazon Web Services infrastructure. The transfer may be either from on-premises or other cloud environments or providers.

With SAP applications and services on AWS сloud, you get on-demand access to IT resources that support storage-intensive workloads. These include SAP solutions based on SAP Business Suite, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Warehouse (BW), and SAP NetWeaver (ABAP). In addition, you will benefit from direct access to Amazon Web Services. Integrating these services into SAP workloads allows you to:

Continuously introduce new business processes and increase efficiency
Pay only for the infrastructure resources you need and use
Operate on one of the most flexible and secure cloud computing environments

SAP migration from on-premise to AWS cloud also offers significant cost savings because you don't have to invest in hardware or your data center. You can also use the AWS cloud as a disaster recovery site for your on-premises SAP systems without the cost of a second physical location and standby infrastructure.

Trusted and secure infrastructure

Leverage AWS's globally recognized infrastructure, ranked as a leader in SAP HANA services by ISG for the fifth consecutive year. SAP's cloud solutions are supported by AWS’s comprehensive range of cloud security tools with over 300 security, compliance, and governance services and features, as well as support for 143 security standards and compliance certifications.

Improved backups and recovery

AWS provides robust backup and recovery solutions such as Amazon EBS Snapshots and AWS Backup. Stringent security, governance, and compliance requirements for SAP workloads allow for efficient and reliable data protection strategies. With features like automated snapshots and flexible recovery options, organizations can ensure data integrity and minimize downtime in case of system failures or data loss incidents.

Enhanced SLAs

AWS offers Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that guarantee high availability, reliability, and performance of cloud services, including VMs hosting SAP applications. By leveraging AWS's globally distributed infrastructure and industry-leading uptime, organizations can meet stringent SLA requirements and ensure business continuity for critical SAP workloads.

Cost savings

Achieve cost savings through flexible scalability, usage-based pricing, and reduced management efforts with AWS. Case in point, Syngenta reduced the total cost of ownership (TCO) of SAP applications by 28% after migrating to AWS.

Streamlined VM management

AWS provides tools like Amazon EC2 and AWS Systems Manager that simplify managing and monitoring virtual machines (VMs) that run SAP applications. With automated provisioning, scaling, and patch management features, organizations can optimize resource utilization, improve operational efficiency, and reduce administrative overhead associated with managing SAP VMs in the cloud.

Why migrate SAP to AWS cloud?

By shifting to the AWS cloud, you can dynamize your growing ERP landscape by adding artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, and many more features. Migrating SAP workloads to the cloud environment allows you to continuously introduce new business processes and respond faster to changing requirements. Appropriate certification of the AWS cloud by SAP ensures you can benefit from all the advantages of the SAP HANA in-memory computing platform in AWS.

How long does it take to prepare for the migration process?

The duration of the migration preparation process for SAP systems to AWS can vary significantly based on factors such as the complexity of the SAP landscape, the volume of data to be migrated, and the level of customization required. Typically, this process can range from several weeks to several months, depending on assessing, planning, and readying the environment for migration.

How long does the migration process take?

The duration of SAP migration from other platforms to AWS varies depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the SAP landscape, the extent of customization, data volume, and infrastructure readiness. Generally, this migration process can take from several months to a year to complete.

How is data security ensured during migration?

Data is at the heart of SAP workloads. Therefore, you need to be able to rely on it being protected and secure at all times.
