2 SAP on Azure Executive Summary SAP and Microsoft together Simplified infrastructure management, faster time-to-market, and lower costs Interoperability for shorter development cycles and reduced 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 Only Microsoft provides 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

3 Challenges Time delays and lack of focus Capacity planning is costly Provisioning on limited capacity

4 Benefits Increased efficiency Lower cost Agile provisioning

5 Use cases with Microsoft Azure Use cases How Microsoft Azure helps How organizations benefit Make timely changes to SAP workloads by development teams 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 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. 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 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.
