SAP Workload Migration

SAP Workload migration is the process of moving an SAP application and Database from one private environment to another private or public cloud. Because in complexity, the amount of work that any given software imposes on computing resources varies greatly. That means choosing where to run workloads, and moving them or how we move them to achieve higher performance, is critical to efficient operations. Moving to hyperscaler environment such as Azure or AWS is considered benefitial in financial terms during long term contractual agreements.  

Benefits of Migrating to Hyperscaler

Cost
Moving SAP workloads to the Hyperscaler environment such as Azure/AWS decreases the operational and maintenance costs of running servers and storage infrastructure on-premises.

Lower infrastructure burden
By placing workloads on the cloud, organizations can reduce the size of their on-premises infrastructure.

Scalability
With an extensive array of resources, services, and automation available on the cloud, large, complex workloads can flexibly respond to user demand.
Example during Christmas or BlackFriday CPU and RAM can be extensively increased to support the usage.

Availability
Workloads on the cloud can be accessed from anywhere, and cloud-based archives can accelerate recovery times after a data loss or failure.

Performance
Workload performance measures, such as the number of transactions per second and bandwidth usage, can jump significantly when applications are deployed on the latest equipment offered by a cloud provider.
