Implementation Scenarios for SAP on AWS

We provide a number of – ever increasing – SAP on AWS implementation scenarios. Our most common
patterns are listed below.

SAP DevOps

SAP DevOps Enablement

  • We rapidly migrate Non-Production environments to AWS, either as a temporary or prototyping environment, or as a permanent solution
  • We maintain up-to-date replicas of your Production environment
  • We enable our customers to stand up new Project Environments in a Self-Service Model
  • We fundamentally accelerate time to market for business innovation
  • We can provide trial licences for almost all SAP Apps

SAP Greenfield

SAP Greenfield
Implementation

  • We only employ experienced staff, and are able to deal with all SAP Apps and Technologies
  • We implement on all OS and DB platforms, including HANA
  • As a SAP technology-focused and ‘partner-centric organisation’ we are best equipped to support your functional SAP partner and internal teams
  • Our DevOps for SAP approach accelerates your implementation, enabling rapid deployment, cost savings and early benefits

lift shift

Lift & Shift Cloud
Migration

  • We migrate customers from On-Premise, SAP HEC, Azure or Private Clouds to AWS
  • We migrate customers from any OS and DB to any OS and DB
  • Though SAP-centric in our relationship, we also migrate Non-SAP Apps
  • Homogeneous migrations are similar to heterogeneous migrations that include a change in OS and/or DB
  • Moving to an SAP ASE and HANA platform is a high-benefits pattern

migrate or implement

Implement on or Migrate to S4/HANA

  • We implement on or migrate customers to S4/HANA environments
  • Migration to S4/HANA is faster and more cost effective when already operating on AWS and a two-step approach may be considered
  • We are exploring patterns to enable segregation of active and passive data so as to optimise infrastructure cost

data lakes

(HANA Centric)
Data Lakes

  • We have experience across a number of (SAP HANA Centric) Data Lake designs
  • Once the core platform is established, we provide a Migration Factory approach to migration and adoption across your global business entities
  • We are working with our customers on both SAP HANA and AWS Native Data Lake designs

application archiving

Application Archiving SAP

  • Application Archiving is putting in-active reference systems on AWS so that the business can interrogate the data as and when required
  • These projects produce substantial and long-term cost savings, double-digit ROIs and Payback periods of months
  • Accessing the systems is self-service driven and negates the need for IT intervention and management

SAP disaster recovery

SAP Disaster
Recovery

  • SAP Disaster Recovery on AWS provides better RPO and RTO against significantly lower cost
  • This pattern provides a potential early deployment as well as an enabler for DevOps for SAP and a full migration to AWS

SAP business one

SAP Business One

  • We provide our SAP Business One solution through Partners
  • The solution is a highly secure, standalone deployment, ensuring high performance and enablement of all add-on solutions
  • This is an automated, rapid and agile deployment on SQL or HANA
  • Migrations in all scenarios: from On-Premise to AWS, from SQL to SQL, SQL to HANA or HANA to HANA

Benefits of Using Lemongrass as Your Reseller for AWS

We are an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, and a Reseller.

Managing a large and rapidly changing AWS estate is a challenge and transformation from managing long term, 3-year fixed infrastructure contracts. Are you ready to take on that challenge on your own?

We have built tools and ways of working to minimise your cost risk.

If you select us as your Resellers, we manage your AWS accounts to the lowest possible cost: we execute audits, ensuring cost-saving lessons learned are applied to all our managed accounts, and
optimise your compute and storage. We pass all cost savings identified on to you as our customers; as
part of the AWS Consolidated Account services we give our customers discounted access to
the Lemongrass Cloud Management Platform. We provide an SAP Enterprise Support level of experience at Business Support rates.

Or, in the words of Gareth Byrne-Perkins, Head of Infrastructure & Technical Architecture at Premier Foods:

“The Lemongrass AWS cost-saving approach is the gift that keeps on giving”.

Our Core SAP on AWS Services

We provide a number of well-defined SAP on AWS services. We structure and standardise where we
can, yet allow customers the freedom to customise services where they require.
