SAP on Google Cloud Platform
SAP on GCP: Your SMB on a Cloud Move
Your quest for the right platform to host business-critical SAP workloads is now over. GCP (Google Cloud Platform) is a cloud computing platform created by Google to serve specific business needs. Google Cloud’s greater availability, agility, and native intelligence assists SMBs with large datasets on their SAP workloads. The cloud game changes when Pawa IT combines its SAP experience with managed Google Cloud expertise.
Why Migrate to SAP on Google Cloud
Robust infrastructure
Secure infrastructure with high availability, disaster recovery, and low latency network. SAP on Google Cloud Platform eliminates maintenance downtime with live migration, which means less unexpected downtime for important business processes, resulting in significant savings and an improved user experience.
Scalability
There’s no need to guess capacity for the coming quarter or year – you can scale up or down whenever you need to. You can rapidly develop compute, storage, and networking infrastructure for new SAP projects and systems, including SAP HANA, with faster time to value in minutes rather than the weeks or months that are required with traditional IT infrastructure.
Security and Continuity
Minimize the risk of a security breach. Your SAP data stays secure at all times in the strongly secured Google Cloud. With security and encryption at all levels, your data is probably nowhere safer than on the Google Cloud Platform.
Flexibility
Get all the flexibility your business needs, scaling with ease thanks to the flexible services and pricing models.
Cost optimization
Only pay for what you use, and scale as your business grows. Plus get visibility on your spending and easily optimize costs.
Innovative outcomes
Integrate your SAP data with powerful, innovative technologies by Google. Access cutting edge machine learning and analytics solutions to elevate your customer experience and get advanced business insights

SAP on GCP FAQs
SAP is one of the world’s leading software companies for business process management, creating solutions that help companies handle data and share information more effectively. The term is an abbreviation for “System Analysis Program Development.” SAP created the global standard for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software with the introduction of its original SAP R/2 and SAP R/3 software. SAP S/4HANA now takes ERP to the next level by leveraging in-memory computing to process massive volumes of data and support sophisticated technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
