AWS To Deliver SAP Software In The Cloud

As part of a continued effort to provide customers flexibility in software deployment options and innovations in cloud-computing, SAP AG and Amazon Web Services have announced that a variety of SAP solutions, including SAP Rapid Deployment solutions and SAP BusinessObjects solutions, are now available on demand via Amazon Web Services (AWS). Customers can now deploy their solutions on SAP-certified Amazon Web Services knowing that SAP has fully tested and benchmarked the underlying AWS resources and certified them with similar standards that are applied to servers and virtual platforms.

Amazon Web Services is now a certified SAP global technology partner, a status that places AWS among SAP’s most important innovation partners. Amazon and SAP will collaborate to offer customers options and convenience when deploying and supporting SAP solutions in the cloud. New and existing SAP customers can take advantage of the AWS “pay per use” model allowing businesses to reduce infrastructure costs and total cost of ownership. Customers will also be able to quickly scale capacity, both up and down as computing requirements change, paying only for the resources used.

SAP and AWS have completed testing protocols, so that SAP solution deployments on AWS meet the requirements of on-premise SAP solutions. By adhering to the SAP deployment guidelines, customers can properly configure their SAP solution for performance, which helps enable support in a timely manner. A number of third-party providers and strategic integrators will offer services ranging from planning, deployment, migration and other customer support services in backing SAP solutions on AWS.

The first wave of supported SAP products includes the entire suite of SAP BusinessObjects solutions and SAP Rapid Deployment solutions supported on Linux Platforms. In the coming months, SAP and AWS plan to further collaborate to launch additional SAP products, including support for enterprise resource planning (ERP) landscapes from SAP and Windows instances.
