SAP Cloud Infra - Business Case
SAP Cloud Infra - Business Case
SAP Cloud Infra - Business Case
• Why Cloud?
• Infrastructure as Service
• To meet all the expectations from the business and to influence the technology in the business growth
• To work on highly scalable state of the art infrastructure
• Say No to huge investments on the IT Infrastructure
• To meet all the compliance requirements for our IPO Project
• Our Infra is scaled up to the maximum and we are unable to upgrade the infra further due to EOL
• The present infrastructure may become a stumbling block for the organization growth plans
• We are already started seeing performance issues in the regular transactions /reports and our average system response time
is not even near to the industry standard. (Our SAP average transaction response time is 2.5 Ms., but, the Industry Standard
is below 1Ms.)
• Huge Productivity loss due to the sluggish response from SAP at times while transacting from cloud applications like
Salesforce, Care, SCP etc..
• We are worried about the infra downtime if in case the servers go down at peak hours, which intern impact our business
targets
• Our present leased lines are signed with 99.5% SLA but there are planned downtimes which will not be covered in the said
SLA
• Continuous complaints from the business on the performance issues, we are unable to resolve them due to hardware
dependency

Pros Cons
We Will get an Asset Depreciation ( 16.66% per Annum) No Committed SLA
We will get tax input one time (18 % GST) Huge one time investment & We have a space issue in existing Data centre
With in our own Data Centre (No worry on data Security) Complete dependency on one single input power source
With in our LAN and completely in our control Manageability is bit challenging
Dependency on the single resource for managing infrastructure
Dependency on the multiple vendors to make the data Centre up & running
No Proper fire safety measures which may lead to data loss
Dependency on network SLA for cloud integrations ( Salesforce, SCP etc..)
