7 Use cases with Microsoft Azure12/1/2017 Use cases with Microsoft Azure Use cases How Microsoft Azure helps How organizations benefit Make timely changes to SAP workloads by development teams 200–300 times faster infrastructure provisioning and rollout compared to on-premises; faster changes by SAP application teams. Increased agility and the ability to provision instances within 20 minutes. Fund intermittently used development and test infrastructure for SAP workloads Supports the ability to stop development and test systems at the end of the business day. Savings of as much as 40–75 percent in hosting costs by exercising the ability to stop instances when not in use. Increase data center capacity to serve new SAP project requests Frees on-premises data center capacity by moving development and test for SAP workloads to Microsoft Azure—without up-front investments. Flexibility to shift from capital to operational expenditures. Now let’s discuss some business use cases where small and medium businesses can save costs and increase business agility by running SAP solutions on Microsoft Azure. In the following scenarios, SAP workloads such as test, dev, audit, historic, training, projects, and small production can be deployed on Microsoft Azure. USE CASE: Deliver automated Disaster Recovery with low RPO and RTO Details: The cost of building a DR data center, provisioning servers, network, SAN and backup infrastructure costs many companies millions of dollars per year. Frequently the readiness of DR infrastructure is suboptimal. Older DR solutions are hard to test and prove. Failover and Failback times may exceed business SLA Azure Recovery Services in combination with DBMS level replication (such as AlwaysOn) can seamlessly synchronize on-premise VMs with Azure and orchestrate failover & failback (including networking changes) How Microsoft Azure helps SAP applications typically consist of four “layers”: Database – replicated to Azure using DBMS level tools such as SQL Server AlwaysOn or Log Shipping SAP application servers – automatically replicated to Azure using Azure Recovery Services SAP standalone components – example: TREX, Adobe Document Server can be replicated using ARS How organizations benefit A global Bottling and Beverage company saved millions of dollars by not having to provision infrastructure in a second data center for core SAP ECC and PI modules. Operational costs are minimal because while DR is not used the Virtual Machines are “de-provisioned”, meaning only storage is paid for USE CASE: Spinning up dev and test systems without having to wait for IT resources Details: Today’s fast pace of business innovation forces organizations to manage a diverse set of IT infrastructure and numerous development and testing tools to fulfill the infrastructure needs of developers and testers. Because SAP solutions includes multiple workloads, IT administrators need to maintain and provision the numerous set of IT infrastructure to build a realistic test (QA) environment. Without sufficient resource allocations, teams must wait to complete their development and test work and this situation leads to delays in project completion and reduces organizational agility overall. Development teams need to ensure that the changes for SAP workloads are incorporated in a timely manner. The best way to allocate resources and support requests coming from multiple SAP application project teams is to provide self-service for needed IT resources without depending on IT administrators. In this scenario, IT provides immediate value by using the Microsoft Azure platform to help organizations and SAP application development teams streamline development, testing, and deployment phases. With Microsoft Azure Management Portal, an IT administrator or a developer can easily create virtual machines in the cloud by using the pre-existing SAP solutions Virtual Machine templates. Because the base virtual machine template exists on Azure, developers and testers can use it to build and test a new application and customize the virtual machines as they see fit. Furthermore, with a gallery of images to choose from, such as Windows Server, SQL Server, and various Linux distributions, developers can quickly get the images and start building or testing applications. All of this enables 20–30 times faster infrastructure provisioning and rollout on Microsoft Azure compared to on-premises—enabling SAP application teams to make changes faster. Microsoft Azure virtual machines are available to users in a few minutes, while deploying virtual machines in an organization’s on- premises data center can take days or weeks. Using Microsoft Azure can increase the organization’s agility by shortening deployment times and lowering costs. Microsoft Azure allows organization to scale SAP virtual machines up or down depending on business needs, and pay only for the compute, storage, and network resources that the SAP application actually uses on hourly basis. A global accounting and consulting services company moved 450 production-based dev/test systems to Microsoft Azure and saved approximately $3 million per year. USE CASE: Budget for building, testing, and infrastructure costs to support SAP workloads for test/dev (either central IT cross-charge or via the organization’s own infrastructure) Details: IT needs to proactively plan and budget for the required infrastructure to build and test SAP workloads, especially when the dev/test infrastructure is used intermittently. They should be able to plan and budget for infrastructure costs to support SAP workloads for test/dev (either central IT cross-charge or their own infrastructure) without investing further in existing infrastructure. With Microsoft Azure, small and medium business that deploy critical applications, such as SAP solutions, can respond to their customers more effectively by reducing capital and operational expenditures in not buying new hardware, worrying about maintaining additional infrastructure, and dealing with administrative overhead. Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine supports cross-premises connectivity that enables companies to actively integrate Microsoft Azure virtual machines into Microsoft System Center, Windows Server strategy, and SAP System Landscape. Moving to Microsoft Azure greatly reduces the amount of time spent on management tasks related to dealing with equipment and services, such as managing a development/test server farm or backing up data, and it lowers service costs for offsite storage and retrieval of tape backups. A TCO savings of 30 percent can be achieved by using Microsoft Azure for testing and development of applications, and an average TCO savings of 30 percent can be achieved by paying only for what is used with metered charge-back for all resources on Microsoft Azure. A global audit, tax, and consulting services company saved 40–75 percent in hosting costs with Microsoft Azure systems, which were less expensive and could turn off unused resources. Another global consulting services company achieved 30 percent average reduction in TCO by creating dev/test systems in hours instead of weeks. USE CASE: Plan to increase data center capacity to serve new SAP project requests Details: After development and testing are completed, organizations have the choice to run the SAP landscape in the cloud or bring it back to the on-premises production environment. To return to the on-premises environment, IT must plan to increase data center capacity to serve new SAP project requests. Depending on your business needs, you can deploy SAP solutions in hybrid mode, where some parts of the SAP landscape are running on-premises and other parts in Azure. For example, organizations can deploy SAP CRM in Azure and the SAP ERP module on-premises. As business requirements change, organizations can easily move the Azure deployment back to the on-premises data center (some of the preparations aren’t required because the VHD containing the OS would run under the same name as on-premises). Also, Microsoft Azure virtual machines use the same format (VHD) as Windows Server Hyper-V. If a machine runs on Hyper-V, it runs in Azure and vice-versa. In fact, Microsoft Azure is built on the same foundation as Windows Server 2012 R2. Other public cloud vendors will convert the image to proprietary a formats that is difficult to convert back. In case if you have your on-premises environment on a different platform than Hyper-V, Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution Accelerator is a Microsoft-supported, stand-alone solution that converts VMware-based virtual machines and disks to Hyper-V-based virtual machines and disks. On the basis of usage and lifetime, organizations can move SAP modules for training and demo purposes from on-premises to Microsoft Azure via VPN without dependency on the on-premises network. In this case, all the components of SAP and non-SAP software are installed either on a single virtual machine or are distributed over multiple virtual machines that have separate SAP systems. The virtual machines are accessible over the public network, and therefore do not require up-front investments. How organizationsbenefit A global snack food company moved 126 historical systems gained through acquisition from a physical data center to Microsoft Azure—reducing costs by $1.5 million per year. USE CASE: Provide consistent training environments based on templates Detail: For periodic, repeatable events such as training and demos, organizations need to be able to deploy SAP workloads that have pre-defined images without making up-front investments. How Microsoft Azure helps: Organizations can store pre-defined images of the training environment and use them to create new virtual machines. Organizations can use these images to move SAP modules for training and demo purposes from on-premises systems to Microsoft Azure through a virtual private network (VPN) without consuming on-premises network resources. All components of SAP and non-SAP software can be installed either on a single virtual machine or distributed across multiple virtual machines that have separate SAP systems. The virtual machines are accessible over a public network. How organizations benefit: Organizations can save money by provisioning only the instances they need for training, and then deleting them after the event is completed. USE CASE: Using Microsoft Azure as an archive for regulators without having to keep systems running in the data center Details: Managing the security systems of your own data center is expensive, especially when you consider the cost of energy, people skills, hardware, software licensing, and compliance. In Microsoft Azure, the goal is to reduce total costs in addition to managing your data center securely in the cloud. Many server management tasks are included with Microsoft Azure subscriptions (especially for PaaS compute services), such as operating system updates, patches, security updates, and more. With Microsoft Azure Active Directory, organizations get the cloud identity service, which enables a single sign-on experience across cloud and on-premises applications. Cloud identity service allows multifactor authentication for added security and compliance. Multifactor authentication reduces organizational risk and helps organizations comply with data protection and identity assurance regulations, while addressing user demand for a simple sign-in process. Data in Microsoft Azure is stored in Microsoft data centers around the world based on geolocation properties specified by the organization through the Microsoft Azure Portal. This approach provides a convenient way to minimize compliance risk through active selection of geographic locations in which regulated data will reside. Microsoft is committed to providing organizations with detailed information about security compliance programs to help them make regulatory assessments. How organizations benefit? Savings of as much as 60 percent due to cheaper storage and the ability to quickly spin up systems based on need. Provide consistent training environments based on templates Ability to store and use pre-defined images of the training environment for new virtual machines. Cost savings by provisioning only the instances needed for training, and then deleting them when the event is complete. Deliver automated Disaster Recovery with low RPO and RTO Azure Recovery Services replicates on-premise Virtual Machines to Azure and orchestrates failover and failback. RPO and RTO is reduced and the cost of ownership of DR infrastructure is reduced. While the DR systems replicating the only cost incurred is storage Archive historical systems for auditing and governance Supports migration of physical machines to virtual machines that can be switched on when needed. Savings of as much as 60 percent due to cheaper storage and the ability to quickly spin up systems based on need. © 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

9 12/1/2017 Microsoft Cloud OS Microsoft vision of the unified platform for modern business Enterprise-grade Microsoft understands your existing IT systems and challenges better than any technology company out there. IDC predicts that 70 percent of CIOs will embrace a cloud-first strategy in To get there, organizations need to move at their own pace over a number of years, with many living in a hybrid environment for quite some time. That flexibility to live in both worlds, even with a cloud-first strategy, is non-negotiable. (Source: IDC CIO Agenda webinar). Microsoft will not tell you to move everything to the cloud. Instead, we will help you take what you have and upgrade it through Microsoft cloud OS strategy, and we will take the journey with you. Some vendors are making this transition more confusing by calling feature-limited apps “cloud-ready,” by forcing you to use different sign-ons for every online experience, or by not even guaranteeing continuous availability. Cloud shouldn’t mean lowering your expectations or making compromises. Microsoft believes you shouldn’t expect any less from the cloud—you should expect more. It must be an enterprise-grade platform. Hybrid design By design, Microsoft hybrid cloud builds commonalities into the platform, unifying resources across premises to let data and apps flow freely. Hybrid is the core of the Microsoft cloud OS vision. Microsoft is uniquely able to take a hybrid cloud approach to deliver unified compute, storage, and networking across on-premises data centers, the public cloud, and hosted clouds to create a single application, data, and device management platform. You benefit from a common and consistent approach to development, management, identity, virtualization, and data that spans on-premises and cloud—your cloud, a service provider’s cloud, and the Microsoft cloud. This approach gives you the ability, from one view, to manage apps and data beyond your own private cloud—to a partner cloud or to a public cloud—in a consistent way. You can be more flexible in thinking about how you deploy your apps across the multitude of cloud environments. People-focused The people-focused approach at Microsoft means IT professionals, developers, and users can gain leverage from existing skills in this new hybrid world. For years, Microsoft has been delivering experiences that appeal to end users for driving maximum productivity, regardless of location or device. Microsoft brings that same focus on people to IT and developers by mirroring the familiarity and ease-of-use of our on-premises products in our cloud services. The unifying technologies in the cloud OS enable the flow, management, and governance of data and apps across premises and devices to keep employees (IT professionals, developers, and users) productive and connected, wherever they are. This all leads to higher satisfaction—from employees to IT—and improved productivity with lower training costs. With such a large solution and developer footprint, adoption by enterprise customers speaks for itself and is also a huge driver of the Microsoft focus on people and their experiences.

Microsoft cloud OS: Microsoft cloud platform has the necessary assets across virtualization, identity, data platform, development, and management to provide a consistent experience across on-premises, Microsoft Azure, and third-party service providers. The unifying technology in the hybrid design of the cloud OS enables the flow, management, and governance of data and apps across premises and devices to keep people (IT professionals, developers, and users) productive and connected wherever they are. This all leads to higher satisfaction—from employees to IT—and improved productivity with lower training costs. About 50 percent of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft Azure. Open, broad, and flexible: Microsoft Azure provides the first and best experience to support Microsoft workloads and other open technologies so that enterprises get a cloud experience that satisfies their heterogeneous needs. Microsoft Azure supports a wide variety of languages such as Java, .NET, PHP, Python, and more. Microsoft Azure provides an out-of-the box experience for open frameworks such as Hadoop, and web frameworks such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. Microsoft Azure combines large pools of compute (commodity servers), networking, and storage resources into a utility computing environment from which organizations can draw resources on-demand and pay only for what they use. Typical of cloud environments, Microsoft Azure helps organizations avoid up-front capital outlays and allows the growth of IT capabilities on an as-needed basis. By using Microsoft Azure, organizations can immediately extend the on-premises data centers and move applications “as they are” to Microsoft Azure—and gain full control over the application environment.

15 Microsoft Azure infrastructure12/1/2017 Microsoft Azure infrastructure Open and flexible cloud platform Azure data centers, your data centers App services Cloud services Caching Identity Service bus Media Virtual machines Virtual network Mobile services Websites Integration HPC Analytics VPN Data services SQL Server Database HDInsight Table Blob storage But that is not all you can do with Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure also provides infrastructure services that allow for more hands-on configuration and management, similar to the servers you have today. However, they are hosted in Microsoft data centers so you can use Azure as if you were operating your own data center in the cloud. For example, you can provision virtual machines, give them private IP addresses, and connect to them by using a VPN from your on-premises environment. Most importantly, Microsoft Azure can mimic your on-premises data center and run your current apps with little or no change—without the expense of servers or racks, cooling, and building costs. Furthermore, you can connect the “data center” you build in the cloud to your on-premises data center so the “data center in the cloud” becomes an extension to your on-premises infrastructure. These building blocks make it possible to use Microsoft Azure as an infrastructure-as-a-service. So, you see that Microsoft Azure offers IaaS + PaaS in one platform. IaaS provides flexibility, and PaaS eliminates complexity. Use PaaS where you can, use IaaS where you need to. With Azure, you can use both together or independently, and build apps of the future. That approach differentiates the Microsoft solution as unique. virtual network Infrastructure services SAP on Azure and IaaS Virtual machines Virtual network VPN Traffic manager VPN © 2012 Microsoft Corporation.

17 Customer use case Zespri – The largest Kiwifruit brand in the world12/1/2017 Customer use case Zespri – The largest Kiwifruit brand in the world Business problem Zespri was looking to transform its infrastructure environment to Microsoft Azure to increase organizational agility and reduce costs. Solution The company moved 13 virtual machines for their SAP development environment into the Azure cloud. Performance to date of the systems is within their acceptance criteria. Benefits The ability to re-provision virtual machines with a couple of clicks provided the agility to make changes without impacting time or budget constraints. Running SAP landscapes on Azure provides the performance they need and the ability to deliver value to their business. Statement from Zespri the deploying SAP on Azure (not yet published) 10 March 2014 From its New Zealand headquarters ZESPRI relies heavily on ICT systems to support and manage a supply chain from the orchard to its globally dispersed customers. ZESPRI has embarked on a series of projects to transform its infrastructure environment. Of key importance is its decision, made in tandem with locally based technology partner Datacom, to move to the Windows Azure public cloud, with an initial project to deploy ZESPRI’S SAP suite in the Azure environment. Andrew Goodin , Global Manager Information Systems, Zespri International , says, “Datacom has the flexibility, technical knowledge and can-do attitude to enable Zespri to work towards our aspirational target of 100% public cloud.” ZESPRI’s migration to the Azure Cloud is in its early stages but the performance is favourable. It took just over one month to migrate ZESPRI’s SAP development environment into the Azure cloud and to date 13 virtual machines have been commissioned in Azure with the performance proving acceptable to date. On two occasions builds needed to be re-done to accommodate changing requirements, due to the flexibility of the Azure environment the virtual machines could be re-provisioned with a couple of clicks and allowed the project to absorb the requested change without impacting the time line or budget. SAP has performed well on the platform, the project team find the performance good, an example of this being the GUI response time under one second and improving. Initial results are promising and we are confident that our SAP landscapes will run efficiently on the platform, perform appropriately and continue to deliver value to our business. © 2012 Microsoft Corporation.
