SunGard Availability Services Brings Enterprise-class Availability for SAP to the Cloud
WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SunGard Availability Services today announced the availability of cloud-based SAP Services, designed to meet the availability, security, operations, and capacity needs of SAP ERP environments. The new service leverages the best in class Vblock((TM)) cloud platform to provide a production ready cloud infrastructure for SAP ERP and NetWeaver applications, whether a single new development environment or full multi-landscape SAP deployment.
Building on SunGard's extensive experience in designing and operating high availability solutions, the SAP Services are powered by SunGard's Enterprise Cloud Services to deliver multiple layers of availability protection, greater IT agility, and the flexibility and cost advantages of on-demand IT resources. SunGard is SAP-certified as a cloud services provider, having passed an extensive assessment by SAP to validate the operational integration of the SunGard Enterprise Cloud Services with supported SAP applications.

"SunGard's enterprise cloud infrastructure has been optimized for SAP ERP production environments and addresses the needs of new or existing SAP customers wanting to leverage the on-demand resource capacity of the cloud," said Bob Hill, director, business solutions and architecture at SunGard Availability Services. "The solution offers multiple SAP services with no upfront costs and low minimums on contracted cloud resources - making it a cost-effective alternative for new SAP deployments when compared to in-house solutions. SunGard's SAP Services also provide cost predictability, as customers purchase system resources only as needed and at a predetermined monthly rate."
The SunGard Cloud interconnects with SunGard-hosted physical environments, providing hybrid solution flexibility. SunGard also delivers a high-availability cloud platform with both local instance fail-over and optional secondary site recoverability for production in the event of an outage. All deployed SAP Cloud instances are covered by a 99.95% VM uptime Service Level Agreement, in combination with a 99.9% SAP production uptime Service Level Agreement.
