A Private Cloud encompasses infrastructure, including hardware, network, software and storage with on-premises hosted cloud architecture. It also usually means more benefits of Private Cloud and more customization than Public Cloud. Private Cloud allows an organization to host its SAP data and solutions on cloud services that are not shared with other companies. Such a private cloud is dedicated exclusively to a particular customer.
Private clouds in the case of RISE with SAP are stored in data centers (hyperscaler) such as AWS, MS Azure, Google Cloud. As a result, companies gain greater flexibility over their data and infrastructure, which translates into scalability, as well as avoiding the risk of downtime. SAP and its consultants are responsible for deploying applications, not internal IT teams, which relieves the burden on businesses. SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud also allows you to use advanced analytics to predict and prevent bottlenecks and downtime.
One of the most important advantages of private clouds is customization. Private Cloud offers a high level of customization to meet an organization’s specific technical and business requirements. Most importantly, companies can choose their preferred hyperscaler with specific features in Private Cloud.
Clients can customize almost anything and modify SAP source code with full backend visibility and control via SAP GUI. Additionally, they also have full access to the on-premise extensibility framework as well as code improvement and modification. Security
Another important advantage of private clouds is the high level of security compared to public clouds. Data is protected and managed on private servers that only the company can access, reducing the risk of leaks. Additionally, if the cloud servers are hosted on-premise, they are managed by an in-house IT team. Similarly, if the cloud servers are hosted in a Data Center, the IT team will also have access to the data via highly secure networks.
Customer information is very sensitive data for any company, and any breach can have a negative impact on business. Private clouds enable companies to have a great deal of control over their data and also ensure its privacy. SAP goes to great lengths to ensure that the systems it delivers to customers comply with international standards. This is confirmed, for example, by ISO standards and also by SOC 1 and SOC 2 audit reports.
Most importantly, a private cloud guarantees the use of every server and technology. Virtualization offers private cloud users better resource utilization by dynamically distributing the load across appropriate servers. The software developer (SAP) is helping customers make the digital transformation of their business. Together with its partners, it provides a number of tools that effectively support the customer in guiding its enterprise through the conversion of SAP ECC on-premise solutions to SAP S/4HANA in the Private Cloud Edition model.
In the case of RISE with SAP, hosting SAP S/4HANA Cloud in a Private Cloud provides not only business response speed, but also:
A private cloud facilitates the migration of business from the outdated SAP ERP system to the SAP S/4HANA cloud.
The SAP S/4HANA Cloud edition of the private cloud by simplifying the landscape of owned SAP systems allows companies to focus on growing their core business instead of focusing on IT systems. It offers a single point of contact and a single SLA that covers responsibility for ERP license, infrastructure and operations. Deployment for SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud can be done through a brownfield or greenfield approach.
Die SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition bietet verschiedene Subskriptionsmodelle, die zu bis zu 20 % niedrigeren Gesamtbetriebskosten im Vergleich zu einer On-Premise-Installation führen können. Darüber hinaus können Unternehmen bis zu 87 % der Infrastruktur- und Personalkosten einsparen.
An infrastructure based on the use of available hyperscalers allows for rapid scaling while eliminating additional CAPEX and in-house implementation costs (typically accounting for 30-50% of TCO). The private cloud edition also allows customers to retain all the investments they had in their existing ERP system by migrating to the cloud. All in all, it allows companies to innovate at their own pace.
Cloud deployment allows for much faster implementation and realization of business benefits. Thanks to the implementation strategies developed by SAP, the time required to deliver cloud environments can be significantly reduced. This works well, among other things, for clients whose enterprise has not been equipped with a cloud environment to date, but has decided to make this transition. By following the implementation standard set by SAP, an enterprise can implement a cloud system in a significantly reduced time.
SAP S/4HANA private cloud is ideal for organizations looking for a gradual transformation to a pure SaaS landscape at their own pace with a well-defined conversion methodology. It offers software, support, managed technical services, and infrastructure from a single point of contact, with one set of SLAs.
