AWS TCO & Analyst Studies
IDC AWS TCO Study
“The five-year total cost of ownership (TCO) of
developing, deploying, and managing critical
applications in Amazon cloud infrastructure
represents a 70% savings compared with
deploying the same resources on-premise or in
hosted environments.”
VMS AWS-SAP TCO Study
“The research discovered that running SAP
applications on AWS can provide
infrastructure cost savings of up to 71%
compared to the same system running on-
premises.”
Source: Gartner (August 2013) Source: IDC
Source: VMS AG
Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud IaaS
“AWS is the overwhelming market share leader,
with more than five times the compute capacity in
use than the aggregate total of the other fourteen
providers in this Magic Quadrant. It is a thought
leader; it is extraordinarily innovative,
exceptionally agile and very responsive to the
market.”
Industry research finds that running SAP applications on AWS
provides infrastructure cost savings of up to 71% compared to the
same system running on-premises.
AWS Enables Lower TCO for SAP Environments
VMS AG TCO study
IDC Report on TCO and Business Value
Savings (5 Years) vs. large ERP
(on-premises) vs. small ERP (on-premises)
vs. small ERP (outsourcing)
vs. SAP All-in-One (on-premises)
% Savings in overall TCO 16% 18% 15% 22%
% Savings on items that AWS has an impact on
62% 63% 59% 71%
Running SAP on AWS
Lower Overall Cost
Benefit from AWS’s economies of scale and efficiencies. Only
pay for what you use. Running SAP ERP Systems on AWS can
save up to 71% on Infrastructure costs!
AWS Drives Agility and Innovation Benefits for SAP Customers
Shift Focus to Differentiation
Free internal resources from the undifferentiating tasks of
managing infrastructure and focus resources on innovation
Replace CapEx with OpEx
Start using AWS with no up-front cost or commitment and only
pay for what you use
Agility & Speed
Provision new infrastructure and SAP systems in minutes vs.
days, weeks or months
Self-service
Procure, provision and manage AWS resources completely via
self-service
End Hardware Refresh Cycles
Stop having to plan and manage hardware refreshes every 3-5
years
Elasticity and Flexible Capacity
Scale resources automatically up or down as needed. On-
demand access to virtually unlimited compute, storage and
network capacity to meet your SAP Sizing needs.
Secure & Durable
Secure and durable technology platform with industry-
recognized certifications and audits
Key Factors Driving the Shift of SAP
Customers to AWS
•CFO: Prefers IT purchases in a cash-friendly
OpEx consumption model
•CEO: Wants faster delivery, reduced cost, and
lower dependency on IT delivery
•CIO: Focused on visible, quick ROI projects
while outsourcing low value activities
Leverage AWS for SAP Production Workloads Dependencies to PRD (same OS, DB, sizing, etc)
Leverage AWS for Non Production Workloads Independent of PRD (can be different OS, DB, sizing, etc.)

SAP on AWS Use Cases & Customer Case Studies
SAP Training and Prototyping Systems on
AWS Background
Large global SAP customer
Challenges:
Existing SAP training and prototyping landscapes hosted
on physical UNIX servers too expensive
Existing infrastructure not flexible. Not able to easily
create additional temporary landscapes
The Solution:
Capgemini migrated existing two training and one
prototyping landscapes to AWS
35+ systems and 30TB of data migrated
Estimated savings approximately $18K p/month
(36% reduction in cost )
Able to create additional temporary landscapes and only
pay for the additional resources when they are needed
“Estimated savings approx $18K
p/month (36% reduction in cost
compared to traditional physical
UNIX infrastructure)”
SAP Business All-in-One on AWS Background
Merrifield Garden Center, one of the largest and most
complete garden nurseries in the US with over 750
employees, is using SAP Business All-in-One on AWS to
manage inventory, purchasing and accounts.
Challenges:
A new SAP Business All-In-One ERP customer
Limited IT resources
Needed a fully managed solution
The Solution:
Outsourced SAP implement and operations to Protera
Technologies
Use the AWS cloud as a utility computing environment
Leveraged multi-datacenter infrastructure at no additional
cost
“Our IT operations were simply not keeping
pace with the rapid growth of our business,”
said Bryan Moore IT Director at Merrifield
Garden Center. “Running our SAP Business
All-in-One solution on AWS, with systems
integrator Savantis and managed services
provider Protera, provided dependable
infrastructure and offered an affordable
solution that enhanced security and the
flexibility needed to scale up and scale down
during seasonal demand swings.”
SAP Business Objects BI on AWS Background
Emergency Medicine Business Intelligence (EMBI) provides HIPAA
compliant analytic tools for hospital emergency departments to monitor
productivity, utilization and patient care
Challenges:
Limited IT resources
Need for greater scalability
Better manage costs by turning capital expenses into variable operating
expenses.
The Solution:
Development of the solution involved use of Microsoft SQL Server 2008
R2 Standard and SAP BusinessObjects.
Leveraged implementation partner Decision First Technologies
Utilized SAP Business Objects “out-of–the-box” analytics dashboard
and key performance metrics solution monitors and benchmarks every
aspect of a hospital’s emergency department (ED).
As of February, 2012, EMBI had eight hospital emergency departments
live on their platform.
“Cloud computing allows hospitals the ability
to buy mission critical software and hardware
as a service instead of trying to manage
demand internally,” said Scott Richards, CEO
at EMBI. “Deploying SAP Business Objects
BI solutions on AWS, with solution provider
Decision First Technologies, allows us to
leverage industry-leading business
intelligence toolsets to provide our customers
web-based, on-demand, key performance
metrics they need to manage their operations
and business. With these solutions our
emergency department clients are able to
focus on providing a higher level of service to
their customers.”
