eCloudvalley SAP Resilience Solution on AWS

1. Why Implement DR for SAP on AWS

Running a disaster recovery (DR) solution for your SAP environment on AWS is essential to safeguard business-critical systems. According to AWS, you can use AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (EDR) to protect SAP workloads—whether on-premises or already on cloud—by replicating data securely, conducting non-disruptive tests, and recovering applications on AWS in minutes.
Without a DR solution, unexpected events such as outages, cyber-incidents or natural disasters can trigger significant business-continuity risks. Cloud-based DR on AWS allows you to meet demanding Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs), while leveraging AWS’s global footprint, scalability and cost-flexible infrastructure.

2. Key Benefits • Improved resilience & faster recovery: AWS supports launching recovery instances within minutes and achieving very low RPOs.
• Pay-only-when-needed model: The DR site on AWS can stay in minimal standby, so you avoid heavy capital investment in idle infrastructure.
• Agility and flexibility: Quickly test, failover and fail-back SAP systems in the cloud, enabling DR drills with minimal disruption.
• Global reach & multi-scenario support: Whether on-premises to AWS, AWS-to-AWS, or cross-region, AWS supports various DR topologies for SAP workloads.
• Cost-effective and optimized for SAP: DR on AWS reduces risk of downtime (which can cost hundreds of thousands per hour) and leverages AWS certified SAP architectural guidance.

3. Project Deliverables • Envisioning & Assessment: Workshops to define DR scenarios, business objectives, required RTO/RPO, and SAP landscape dependencies. • Architecture Refinement: Design of recovery architecture, fail-over/fail-back processes, connectivity (VPN, VPC), storage/replication, security setup. • Infrastructure Setup: Provision AWS connectivity, virtual network, storage, standby or staging area; prepare on-premises resources or VM(s) if hybrid scenario. • Implementation & Data Replication: Deploy DR solution, install replication agents, replicate SAP workload (application layer + database layer) to AWS over defined period. • Workload Remediation & Optimization: Make SAP systems, databases and VMs compliant with AWS recovery environment; ensure performance and cost efficiency. • Testing, Training & Handover: Conduct DR drills, validate fail-over and recovery; train customer team on DR operations and monitoring. • Optional Integration: If needed, integrate with full SAP migration or transformation programmes (e.g., combining with SAP-on-AWS migration work). • Notes: Final pricing and timeline will vary based on scope, SAP system size, topology and replication strategy. ⸻ 4.
