8. AWS continues to raise the bar
Results of the SAP BW-EML Benchmark published by SAP
• SAP HANA and the recently announced Dell PowerEdge R930 achieved record performance
for ad-hoc navigation steps per hour in both 1 billion and 2 billion record data sets
• Lenovo has achieved record performance results and demonstrated outstanding scalability on
10 billon record benchmark over 1 billion record benchmark on a 7 node scale-out
system using its System x3850 X6 servers.
• A 14-node system from Amazon Web Services (AWS) sets the record for SAP HANA
scale-out in the cloud, validating it as an ideal solution for customers to cost-
effectively consume SAP HANA.
• A first-ever virtualized SAP BW-EML benchmark on 3 billion records with VCE and VMware
demonstrates that SAP HANA can achieve robust application performance in virtualized
environments, as well as provide customers with additional options to help lower datacenter
TCO.

16. Kellogg Uses AWS to Save $900,000 over 5 Years Over Using On-
premises Infrastructure
Kellogg produces breakfast foods for more than 180
companies worldwide, with annual revenue of almost $15 B.
Using AWS saves us
$900,000 in infrastructure
costs alone, and lets us run
dozens of simulations a day
so we can reduce trade
spend. It’s a win-win.
• Needed a better way to track and model promotional
costs (“trade spend”) to improve the bottom line—and
needed to be able to run more than 1 trade-spend
simulation/day
• Running SAP Accelerated Trade Promotion Planning
(TPM) – Powered by SAP HANA
• By using SAP HANA on AWS, Kellogg estimates it
will save $900,000 over 5 years versus traditional on-
premises infrastructure alternatives
• Increased business agility: Company can run dozens
of trade spend simulations each day, and decreases
deployment time by 30x
• Leveraged existing SAP HANA software license
investment on AWS
• Familiarity and Accessibility of the AWS platform
enabled engineers to easily apply their existing
knowledge and infrastructure skills

17. SAP Business Suite
Background
Hoya specializes in advanced optical technology and their finance
department was serving about 100 subsidiaries WW. Hoya began
looking for a cost effective, elastic and high performance
environment to support their business and their current “private”
cloud environment could not deliver this.
Additional Criteria:
Security, SLA’s clearly defined, external audits in place, global
footprint , highly reliable infrastructure
The Implementation:
Cloud provider Selection: 0.5 months
DR environment set-up, test and run : 1 month
Migration of production system: 48 hours
Customer Stated Benefits:
Speed and agility: rapid response to business requirements
including M&A
Cost: 50-60% cost reduction, but when Hoya considered TCO
they estimate about a 80-90% cost saving versus “private” cloud
Saved 50-60% on a cost basis
Estimated to save 80-90% on a TCO
basis
Migrated production systems in 48
hours
Entire process from going to market
for a cloud provider to full
production about less than two
months including testing and
migration
