Challenge:
NKG Business Application including a business-critical SAP environment—was running on premise Hardware Infra. NKG sought to migrate most of the systems running on premise—including SAP—to a public cloud environment.
One of the main challenges were provisioning of the instant data center and latency issues which leads to performance issues for end users.
Sizing and costing of server on premise were running unnecessarily which impacted their overall economical growth.
Also, on premise application taking too much time to respond
Why Amazon Web Services?
NKG engaged Sapphire to migrate its SAP environment to the AWS Cloud. The core AWS services supporting NKG SAP environment include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, which provide the compute power to run the environment’s applications.
For storing all SAP data, NKG uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for storage. The feature of EC2 auto recovery helps for low cost hardware high availability of the EC2 instances. AMI snapshots of EC2 instances will help for low-cost disaster recovery to another availability zone.
Sapphire recommended the customer to go for SUSE Linux Enterprise server and provided the help during deployment of SAP ECC with smooth backup and restoration process and high data protection.
Implemented High security with optimum performance level for end users.
To overcome above mentioned challenge Sapphire and AWS Team suggested the following architecture diagram :-
