SAP on Azure Executive Summary
SAP and Microsoft together
Only Microsoft provides
Simplified
infrastructure
management, faster
time-to-market, and
lower costs
SAP and Microsoft have tested and certified Microsoft Azure infrastructure against standards used for on-premises infrastructure
Streamlined support process for escalation, SLAs, and resources
One Cloud OS across private, public, and hybrid clouds
One management solution for on-premises and online environments
Unified platform that is enterprise-grade, hybrid, and people-focused
Support agreement for SAP solutions and database on Microsoft Azure
Enterprise-ready infrastructure with global presence under familiar enterprise agreements
Dynamic application delivery at lower prices
Interoperability for shorter development cycles and reduced costs
Challenges
Capacity planning is costly
Provisioning on limited capacity
Time delays and lack of focus
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
Through Microsoft and Azure preferred resellers
Extend Enterprise Agreement
Direct subscription to Microsoft Azure
Note: Microsoft does not resell SAP solutions. SAP
does not resell Azure services
