Google and SAP have become a great team. What does this mean for your workloads?
SAP and Google Cloud first announced their partnership in 2017, and the collaboration has led to a deep integration of SAP’s analytics and data intelligence applications in the Google cloud ecosystem since then. But why should you ‘Cloudify’ your SAP activities? Our customers identify four key benefits: simple upgrades, security, innovation, and productive collaboration.
Upgrade simply
Google Cloud offers a simple upgrade path with easy migration tools, flexible scaling and a fully hybrid infrastructure at the right price so our customers can achieve significant cost savings. A collaboration between Google, Intel and SAP is the winning formula when it comes to processing more data at speed, while achieving a lower total cost of ownership.
SAP has joined forces with Intel to deliver real-time data processing for seriously large amounts of data. The unique in-memory architecture of SAP Hana allows customers to easily detect data patterns and analyze data on the fly. The Google and Intel partnership brings it to the next level by offering this powerful hardware innovation to the Google Cloud platform, ensuring larger memory availability and faster access for larger amounts of data.
Secure your operations
On Google Cloud, it’s possible to run operations with minimized downtime and secure-by-design reliability for your mission critical operations. On top of this, you can achieve agile operations on all VM architecture and easily scale up to 12TB and scale out to 64TB.
Most SAP users are currently looking at two strategic challenges: migrating from legacy SAP versions to the company’s flagship S/4HANA platform, and doing so in the cloud. These moves create some important security considerations for mission critical workloads. In this white paper, you can learn how other SAP clients are dealing with their top security issues by using Google Cloud solutions.
Innovate with advanced technologies
The advanced technologies of Google, such as petabyte-scale analytics, applied machine learning and robotics automation drive new revenue streams for many clients. Curious what this means for SAP? Watch this video.
Enable collaboration
SAP ERP can be easily transported to Google Sheets, whether your SAP ERP is on-premise or in the Cloud. Skip manually exporting to CSV and importing to drive; export directly to Sheets to analyze data with charts; pivot tables and natural language queries.
Sheets is part of the tools offered by G Suite, which is ‘designed to help organizations transform the way they work’. The most prominent design element of G Suite is collaboration: all its aps easily integrate with other applications and colleagues working on projects can collaborate within Google Drive and its files.
