SAP helps facilitate AWS’ hybrid cloud expansion | #reInvent
As cloud technology has evolved over time, the latest thought is that most companies will eventually choose to run most of their IT workloads in a hybrid cloud rather than solely on-premise. A hybrid cloud solution gives companies the best of both worlds: the ability of integrating onprem resources with cloud resources. Organizations gain the speed, agility and geographic freedom of cloud, while retaining the familiarity and security of onprem infrastructure. In support of hybrid cloud, AWS has been working closely with SAP to test and certify the AWS cloud for SAP solutions.
Rudi Leibbrandt, senior director, HANA Product Management, at SAP, and Akash Agarwal, global VP of enterprise mobile at SAP, joined John Furrier (@furrier), co-host of theCUBE*, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during AWS re:Invent, held in Las Vegas, NV, to discuss SAP’s relationship with AWS and how customers are benefiting from a hybrid cloud solution.
SAP in the AWS environment
Furrier said that you could look at the cloud as an extension of SAP, with hybrid cloud technology now coming to full maturation. Agarwal agreed and explained that SAP and AWS have had a unique partnership since 2008, and that SAP customers are running workloads that run great in the cloud.
“Some of the things that we do is to certify on the AWS instances … to make sure a customer can deploy that technology without running into problems in production,” said Leibbrandt.
Cloud-first deployment
The discussion moved to how hybrid cloud is benefiting customers.
“I think that the first thing is accelerating the deployment of software; speed, agility, bringing your assets to a whole new group of customers,” said Agarwal.
Leibbrandt added, “No one wants to acquire more infrastructure; companies don’t want to be in the data center business anymore. Customers choose to deploy in the cloud first.”
