Options for Migrating SAP Workloads

While moving SAP workloads to AWS with HCLTech, clients can deploy SAP HANA in less than 35 minutes (x1 4TB), identify exact memory requirements, and avoid upfront capital investments that would lock them in for years. This applies to both SAP Business Suite and SAP Business Warehouse.
