Cloud Migration & SAP BASIS Services
Most often, "Cloud Migration" describes the move from on-premises or legacy infrastructure to the cloud. However, the term can also apply to a migration from one cloud to another cloud.
Choosing the right cloud partner for you and deploying a systematic approach to carry out the migration process avoiding or minimizing any system downtime.
What is Legacy Infrastructure?
In computing, hardware or software is considered "legacy" if it is outdated but still in use. Legacy products and processes are usually not as efficient or secure as more up-to-date solutions. Businesses stuck running legacy systems are in danger of falling behind their competitors; they also face an increased risk of data breaches. Legacy software or hardware may become unreliable, may run slowly, or may no longer be supported by the original vendor. Windows XP, for instance, is a legacy operating system: released in 2001, its capabilities have been exceeded by later releases of Windows, and Microsoft no longer supports the operating system by releasing patches or updates for it. Infrastructure includes servers, networking equipment, applications, databases, and any other business-critical software or hardware. Legacy infrastructure, such as aging servers or physical firewall appliances, may slow down a company's business processes. It may also add more security risks as original vendors drop support for their products and stop releasing security patches. Legacy infrastructure is typically hosted on-premises, meaning it is physically located in buildings or on property where the organization operates. For instance, many businesses host an on-premises data center in the same building where their employees work. Companies that rely on on-premises legacy infrastructure are unable to experience the benefits of cloud computing. Because of this, most enterprises today have made at least a partial migration to the cloud.
Is it the Right Time to Migrate?
Migration is a complicated procedure of data transition revolving around changes to the hardware, software and the physical location of the SAP landscape. It requires special knowledge and the engagement of professionals which we will provide.
& Plan Accordingly
The key objective of starting the journey of SAP cloud migration is to provide the exact functionality you promised the business stakeholders. To start with, you must assess the landscape and choose what to migrate to the cloud and when. One of the key aspects of the plan is to assess compatibility with the cloud provider system. Check the compatibility of your SAP applications and databases as well as the software portability. This assessment will enable you to put in place a meticulous plan that details the migration from the beginning to end to ensure that everyone is on board with how you will be executing the migration.
To get an idea of the storage size you need; you must evaluate the number of SAPs you need for each system. Do not over-provisioning the number of virtual machines in avoid budget waste. So, provisioning conservatively may be a good start as you can always scale up and down regarding your business needs.
It's common not finding a business having in-house cloud and SAP experts on their payroll. Therefore, finding a partner with specialisms in SAP and cloud technologies to provide independent consulting, help with SAP architecture, design the cloud landscape, provide guidance and help execute the migration becomes critical to your journey of SAP cloud migration.
Moving to the cloud is an opportunity to throw away the things underutilized. All the inconsistent and redundant files should be removed before migrating your system from an on-premises edition to the cloud. This also simplify the SAP on AWS migration process.
You don't want to be upset during migration. Therefore, ensuring that you safeguard the process by backing up your current environment before attempting to migrate to the cloud is a crucial mindset and approach during the migration.
You will usually find that your colleagues only put much emphasis on the "switch" day, and after that, they will expect things to go back to normal. This is just not the case. What you and they need to get prepared for is the required post-go-live tweaking, as well as ongoing SAP performance tuning, that will happen once you roll over to your new cloud landscape.

Hardware Costs
Any hardware has its lifecycle; for example, IT hardware should be replaced every five years, which consequently implies additional expenses. So, the trigger point for your business to move to the remote platform might be the approaching end of the hardware lifecycle.
Competitiveness
If you lag behind the competition in terms of performance, scalability, ROI, as compared to the companies that have implemented cloud infrastructure, it is time to work out your SAP cloud migration strategy.
Benefits of SAP Migration to Cloud
1. Scalability
Cloud computing can scale up to support larger workloads and greater numbers of users far more easily than on-premises infrastructure, which requires companies to purchase and set up additional physical servers, networking equipment, or software licenses.
2. Cost
Companies that move to the cloud often vastly reduce the amount they spend on IT operations, since the cloud providers handle maintenance and upgrades. Instead of keeping things up and running, companies can focus more resources on their biggest business needs – developing new products or improving existing ones.
3. Performance
For some businesses, moving to the cloud can enable them to improve performance and the overall user experience for their customers. If their application or website is hosted in cloud data centers instead of in various on-premises servers, then data will not have to travel as far to reach the users, reducing latency.
4. Flexibility
Users, whether they are employees or customers, can access the cloud services and data they need from anywhere. This makes it easier for a business to expand into new territories, offer their services to international audiences, and let their employees work flexibly.

on-premise to cloud migration
establish goals
What performance gains does a business hope to see? On what date will legacy infrastructure be deprecated? Establishing goals to measure against helps a business determine if the migration was successful or not.
establish goals
Cloud cybersecurity requires a different approach compared to on-premises security. In the cloud, corporate assets are no longer behind a firewall, and the network perimeter essentially does not exist. Deploying a cloud firewall or a web application firewall may be necessary.
establish goals
Select a cloud provider and replicate existing databases. This should be done continually throughout the migration process so that the cloud dataabase remains up to date.
move business intelligence
This could involve refactoring or rewriting code. It can be done piecemeal or all at once.
switch production from
on-premise to cloud
The cloud goes live. The migration is complete.
cloud migration strategy
re-host
‘Lift and Shift’ your current solutions to VMs in the cloud. Rehosting can be thought of as "the same thing, but on cloud servers". Companies that choose this strategy will select an IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) provider and recreate their application architecture on that infrastructure.
refactor
Make minimal changes to your solution so it works in the cloud. Companies that choose to refactor will reuse already existing code and frameworks but run their applications on a PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) provider's platform – instead of on IaaS, as in rehosting.
rebuild
Rebuild you solution using cloud-native technologies to get the most from the cloud. To "rebuild" means rewriting and re-architecting the application from the ground up on a PaaS provider's platform. This can be a labor-intensive process, but it also enables developers to take advantage of modern features from PaaS vendors.
replace
Replace portions of your current solution with SaaS. Businesses can also opt to discard their old applications altogether and switch to already-built SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications from third-party vendors.
re-architect
Change how your solution works to optimize it for the cloud. This strategy involves partially rewriting or expanding the code base, then deploying it by either rehosting or refactoring
