AWS re:Invent 2022 - Accelerate value for your business with SAP & AWS reference architecture (PRT105)

Summary

AWS and SAP have over 10 years of joint innovation, delivering products and services such as SAP HANA Cloud and Business Innovation Cloud.
The Joint Reference Architecture (JRA) aims to leverage SAP's Business Technology Platform (BTP) on AWS to provide enriched data analytics and enterprise services.
AWS offers more than just servers; it provides resiliency, data recovery, and access across over 30 geographical regions.
The JRA is divided into three pillars: Data to Value, Integration and App Development, and Platform Foundation.
SAP's Data Warehouse Cloud is central to the architecture, enabling the combination of SAP and non-SAP data for analytics.
AWS services like Amazon SNS and Route 53 are integrated to enhance BTP applications and ensure high availability.
SAP and AWS offer a joint program to work with customers on proof of value and proof of concept projects at no cost.
Business use cases and technical guides are available through QR codes and online resources.

The collaboration between AWS and SAP is focused on simplifying the migration and integration process for customers, providing a seamless experience when moving workloads to the cloud.
The JRA emphasizes the importance of high availability and geographic routing, which are critical for global enterprises that require consistent and reliable access to their applications.
The integration of AWS services with SAP's BTP allows for innovative solutions, such as using Amazon SNS for immediate notifications and Route 53 for high availability and geographic-based routing.
The ability to combine SAP and non-SAP data sets efficiently addresses common business challenges, such as real-time analytics and planning, while also ensuring GDPR compliance.
SAP and AWS are committed to supporting customers through their transformation journey by offering joint assistance in implementing these architectures, which demonstrates a strong partnership and customer-centric approach.
The session highlights the potential for cost savings and reduced time to value by leveraging the combined capabilities of SAP and AWS, which can be a compelling proposition for businesses looking to optimize their cloud investments.
