CoreToEdge Preinstalled SAP Systems on Amazon Web Services

Before We Start

This document introduces a product offering by CoreToEdge and will guide the reader through the process of setting

up and deploying our product.

It is assumed that the reader has the proper technical knowledge on the technologies mentioned below including but

not restricted to: AWS architecture, Microsoft Windows, SAP Basis technology and ASE Database

Welcome

CoreToEdge Preinstalled SAP systems AMIs include a SAP Business Suite system already installed. Installation has

been done by a team of experienced SAP Basis and AWS Consultants including all available best practices for

deployment of SAP systems on AWS.

These systems are ideal for small and medium deployments of non-productive systems where a single instance can

handle all workload and no high availability is required.

For production use cases and high availability scenarios we recommend the usage of custom built systems that

follow the best practices delivered by SAP and AWS and available on: http://aws.amazon.com/es/sap/resources/ At

CoreToEdge we can also offer custom deployment options for large-scale, highly available and replicated SAP

systems on AWS. You can reach us at get@basis.support

The Preinstalled SAP systems AMIs do not include the corresponding SAP product license. You as a customer

acknowledge that you already have the license required to use this software. Also, you will be responsible for

operating your own AWS account.

How to create your own SAP Business Suite environment

card handy.

• Configure AWS instance size from the available choices. For small SAP systems, up to 10 concurrent users,

we recommend that you use an EC2 instance with at least 7.5 Gb or memory (ex. m3.large). For medium

sized systems, up to 50 concurrent users, we recommend that an EC2 instance with at least 15 Gb of

memory (ex. r3.large). For more detailed information about SAP Business Suite Sizing and appropriate EC2

instance types, please refer to SAP documentation, SAP sizing tool and OSS Notes (S-User required):

instance, then click on “Instance Actions” menu, and click on “Start” in the pull down menu.

• Make a note of the IP address assigned to the instance. You will need it to connect to this SAP instance in

AWS.
