SAP on Hyperscalers

Businesses running on the SAP environment need increased agility, flexibility, and scalability-which on-premise deployments cannot completely offer. With a focus on security and compliance, often undermined when running in an on-premise landscape, there has been a shift towards deploying the SAP environment on Hyperscaler platforms such as Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud. Hyperscalers give the distinct advantage of scalability, agility, efficiency, and reliability. While Azure is one of the most preferred platforms for deploying SAP, other platforms do have their native capabilities, which add value to the SAP deployment.
