Use cases with Microsoft AzureUse cases How Microsoft Azure helps How organizations benefit

Make timely changes to SAP workloads by development teams

200–300 times faster infrastructure provisioning and rollout compared to on-premises; faster changes by SAP application teams.

Increased agility and the ability to provision instances within 20 minutes.

Fund intermittently used development and test infrastructure for SAP workloads

Supports the ability to stop development and test systems at the end of the business day.

Savings of as much as 40–75 percent in hosting costs by exercising the ability to stop instances when not in use.

Increase data center capacity to serve new SAP project requests

Frees on-premises data center capacity by moving development and test for SAP workloads to Microsoft Azure—without up-front investments.

Flexibility to shift from capital to operational expenditures.

Provide consistent training environments based on templates

Ability to store and use pre-defined images of the training environment for new virtual machines.

Cost savings by provisioning only the instances needed for training, and then deleting them when the event is complete.

Archive historical systems for auditing and governance

Supports migration of physical machines to virtual machines that can be switched on when needed.

Savings of as much as 60 percent due to cheaper storage and the ability to quickly spin up systems based on need.

Deliver automated Disaster Recovery with low RPO and RTO

Azure Recovery Services replicates on-premise Virtual Machines to Azure and orchestrates failover and failback.

RPO and RTO is reduced and the cost of ownership of DR infrastructure is reduced. While the DR systems replicating the only cost incurred is storage

Microsoft Azure for SAP

IaaS deployment options for SAP

Key considerations

Microsoft Azure only

SAP systems deployment is not connected to the

on-premises domain. SAP systems are not part of

operational procedures within the rest of the SAP

landscape.

Hybrid IT

The on-premises domain is extended to Microsoft

Azure. SAP systems in Microsoft Azure are fully

integrated into operational procedures and

processes.

SAP Cloud Appliance Library

Deploy preconfigured SAP solutions to Microsoft

Azure.

Microsoft Azure supports the following:

• Two-tier (system and database on the same

image)

• Three-tier (system on one image, database on

the other image)

Environments have the following qualities:

• Cannot be blended across premises and cloud

• Can be run fully in Microsoft Azure and

connected via remote desktop or .sap file

• Can connect to on-premises data centers

through VPN (VNET) to look like part of

on-premises networks

Scope definition

How to buy Azure for SAP solutions
