SAP and Amazon Web Services Partner to Deliver Enterprise Solutions in the Cloud

As part of a continued effort to provide customers flexibility in software deployment options and innovations in cloud-computing, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) and Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced that a variety of SAP® solutions, including SAP® Rapid Deployment solutions and SAP® BusinessObjects™ solutions, are now available on demand via Amazon Web Services (AWS). Customers can now deploy their solutions on SAP-certified Amazon Web Services knowing that SAP has fully tested and verified the performance of the underlying AWS resources and certified them with similar standards that are applied to servers and virtual platforms.

Amazon Web Services is now a certified SAP global technology partner, a status that places AWS among SAP's most important innovation partners. Amazon and SAP will collaborate to offer customers options and convenience when deploying and supporting SAP solutions in the cloud. New and existing SAP customers can take advantage of the AWS "pay per use" model allowing businesses to reduce infrastructure costs and total cost of ownership. Customers will also be able to quickly scale capacity, both up and down as computing requirements change, paying only for the resources used.
