Public cloud certifications - Novis

10 reasons to operate SAP on public cloud

Higher infrastructure availability as a standard - a natural result of the distributed cloud concept and automated backups.

Disaster Recovery solutions easier implementation and lower costs.

Operation with close-fitting infrastructure capacities at lower costs, with no need for oversizing.

Easier dynamic and over time scalability, capable of absorbing seasonal demand peaks.

Infrastructure cost optimization, making the most of the different pricing options offered by AWS. For example, for systems that operate exclusively during office hours, or for historic systems which are uploaded only on demand.

Easier and lower cost provisioning of on demand systems for limited periods of time. For example, SAP sandboxes, projects or testing environments.

Higher security with configuration options. Many more certifications and compliances available for all type of sensitive industries, compared to any local datacenter.

Lower communications costs. Direct access over the Internet, from different cities and countries, with no need for a WAN.

Possibility of replacing systems (non-SAP) by AWS services. For example, Active Directory services, DNS services, managed database services, load balancing services, etc.

Access to all of AWS’ services portfolio, beyond the infrastructure Core Services, for innovation and digital transformation projects

For the realization of all these advantages, the partner delivering the services must also be a SAP certified partner and have sufficient experience in migrating and operating SAP systems on public cloud.
