Modernize your SAP landscape with Red Hat and AWS

Innovative technologies from SAP can streamline and enhance business operations across your organization. With real-time analytics powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and flexible cloud deployment options, SAP solutions help you expand your enterprise resource planning (ERP) capabilities and gain deeper insights into critical business functions. But without the right hardware and software foundations, it can be challenging to adopt new features and capabilities across your SAP landscape.

Red Hat and Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide a trusted, reliable foundation for your SAP workloads. With Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® for SAP with High Availability and Update Services deployed on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) resources, you can run, simplify, and expand your SAP operations. Migrate your SAP landscape to a trusted, security-focused operating system in an efficient, scalable cloud environment. Simplify SAP management tasks—including Day 1 setup and Day 2 operations—across your cloud environment with precomposed automation content. And speed deployment of custom and third-party SAP applications on a modern, container-based software foundation. 

Joint solutions from Red Hat and AWS provide a stable, scalable, security-focused operating foundation for your SAP landscape. Certified for SAP deployments, AWS cloud-native virtual and bare-metal instances and storage options help you optimize performance across your SAP environment. Available from Red Hat through the AWS Marketplace, Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP with High Availability and Update Services is co-engineered with SAP to deliver speed and continuous availability in cloud environments. It includes capabilities that meet SAP-specific workload requirements and provides the reliability you need to deliver innovative ERP services. And with high availability features across the entire joint solution, you can implement disaster recovery architectures for critical SAP applications without the effort or cost of building and operating separate datacenter facilities.

Smart, scalable lifecycle management can reduce cloud environment complexity. Red Hat and AWS solutions include advanced tools to help you manage your SAP landscape—from provisioning and scaling to policy enforcement and decommissioning—efficiently and reliably. Red Hat Enterprise Linux system roles consistently configure your systems for optimal performance based on guidance from Red Hat and SAP. Red Hat Insights uses predictive analytics to identify and automatically remediate potential issues according to SAP-specific rules and Red Hat and SAP recommendations. AWS services and resources—including AWS Nitro System and SAP-certified Amazon EC2 High Memory Instances—help you maximize SAP workload performance and scale on demand.

Automation technologies can speed and simplify tasks across your SAP landscape, reducing manual effort, improving accuracy, and streamlining operations. From deployment and migration to management and optimization, Red Hat’s certified automation content lets you automate SAP workload lifecycles on Red Hat Enterprise Linux across your AWS infrastructure. Increase the availability and reliability of your SAP landscape by automating error-prone manual tasks and workflows—like provisioning, service management, and system patching—using Red Hat Enterprise Linux system roles and Ansible® automation hub content. Consistently provision and configure your environment—including Red Hat Enterprise Linux and AWS EC2 infrastructure—using standardized processes aligned with SAP requirements. Migrate to new SAP solutions efficiently and reliably with flexible automation technologies that let you rapidly replicate data and deploy SAP workloads in your AWS environment. And boost the resiliency of SAP workloads running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux with event-based automated workflows that detect and remediate potential problems before they become critical issues.

Integrating innovative applications with your SAP systems can help your business optimize processes, enhance decision making, and explore new growth opportunities. As you modernize your existing SAP workflows, Red Hat provides an enterprise-grade, cloud-native platform for running all of your workloads—including critical SAP side-by-side applications—in your AWS environment. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the operating foundation, Red Hat OpenShift® includes everything you need to build, run, and manage SAP workloads using modern technologies and practices like microservices, serverless, and DevSecOps. With multiple deployment and management options, this modern software foundation lets you run your SAP side-by-side applications in self-managed or fully managed environments across on-site datacenters and AWS resources. Self-service capabilities, combined with a large selection of included runtimes and frameworks, let you access the resources and tools you need to rapidly create and integrate innovative applications and services with your SAP systems. And with native AWS services based on modern technologies—like AI, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT)—you can develop high-value applications that exceed user expectations.
