Choosing a cloud strategy involves many considerations including affordability, security, flexibility, and convenience.
The more organizations work through such considerations; the more leaders understand that the cloud cannot always satisfy their needs in a cookie-cutter approach. Growing businesses need options to create solutions that reflect their unique needs, especially as they enter new markets and evolve their business with their customers.
SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud empowers business and IT operations to unlock the full value of SAP HANA in the cloud. We offer the only end-to-end, industry-oriented, managed cloud solution that includes a comprehensive application landscape and suite of managed services all delivered by SAP.
Through our engagement with thousands of customers, it has become clear that we are in a unique position to take them to the next level by combining current public cloud possibilities to offer a dynamic, secure, and hybrid platform that can provide reduced complexity and increased levels of scalability, elasticity, and automation.
SAP is now giving these customers the option to choose a secure public cloud infrastructure for their SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud deployments, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the first cloud provider to enable this offering. As a result, SAP will provide a fully managed and integrated deployment of SAP customer landscapes on the secure, scalable public cloud infrastructure. With this model, SAP will own and deliver the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud managed service and supporting services on a public cloud infrastructure, while maintaining the same core benefits that SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud customers have come to expect.
Businesses no longer must choose between their private cloud and public cloud strategy; they can now engage in a cloud strategy that is uniquely their own.
“This offering provides customers the best of both worlds – access to a scalable and innovative public cloud combined with the services and solution expertise of SAP.” said Ron Leveke, director of IT for Albaugh, LLC, which just completed a pilot with SAP and AWS. “This is the beginning of a radical convergence and we are excited to work with the leader in enterprise applications and the leader in the cloud to support our business success into the future.”
