SAP HANA Backup and Restore
Process of migrating SAP HANA databases from their existing platform to AWS infrastructure, including backing up the databases and restoring them in the new environment.
Migrating SAP to the AWS cloud involves moving your SAP business data and applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. This migration can be from on-premises systems or from other cloud environments or providers.
With SAP applications and services on AWS Cloud, you gain on-demand access to IT resources tailored for storage-intensive workloads. This includes SAP solutions such as SAP Business Suite, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Warehouse (BW), and SAP NetWeaver (ABAP). Additionally, you will benefit from seamless integration with Amazon Web Services, enabling you to:
Migrating SAP from on-premise to the AWS cloud can result in substantial cost savings by eliminating the need for investment in hardware and data center facilities. Additionally, AWS cloud can serve as an effective disaster recovery site for your on-premises SAP systems, avoiding the expense of maintaining a secondary physical location and standby infrastructure.
Migrating your SAP landscape to the AWS cloud enhances performance and scalability while optimizing cost control. With a solid cloud foundation, you can accelerate resource development, transform cost structures, and benefit from flexible scalability that adjusts to varying demand.
Utilize AWS's globally renowned infrastructure, which has been recognized as a leader in SAP HANA services by ISG for five consecutive years. AWS supports SAP's cloud solutions with an extensive suite of cloud security tools, including over 300 security, compliance, and governance services and features, as well as adherence to 143 security standards and compliance certifications.
AWS offers comprehensive backup and recovery solutions, including Amazon EBS Snapshots and AWS Backup. These solutions meet stringent security, governance, and compliance requirements for SAP workloads, enabling efficient and reliable data protection. Key features such as automated snapshots and versatile recovery options help organizations maintain data integrity and minimize downtime during system failures or data loss events.
AWS provides Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that ensure high availability, reliability, and performance for cloud services, including virtual machines (VMs) hosting SAP applications. By utilizing AWS's globally distributed infrastructure and exceptional uptime, organizations can meet rigorous SLA standards and maintain business continuity for critical SAP workloads.
Achieve cost savings through flexible scalability, usage-based pricing, and streamlined management with AWS. For example, Syngenta decreased the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their SAP applications by 28% following their migration to AWS.
AWS offers tools such as Amazon EC2 and AWS Systems Manager to streamline the management and monitoring of virtual machines (VMs) running SAP applications. These tools provide automated provisioning, scaling, and patch management capabilities, enabling organizations to optimize resource utilization, enhance operational efficiency, and minimize the administrative burden of managing SAP VMs in the cloud.
