Demystifying RISE with SAP Tenancy Models

The cornerstone of RISE with SAP is the potential to offer tailor-made cloud solutions as per the specific demands of your business – flexible, scalable and safe. The available tenancy models provide for ultimate business flexibility, allowing organizations to have full control of their infrastructure or take advantage of the resources in a shared environment.

Key Components:

Cloud Services: These are SAP’s enterprise applications, data management tools and integration services that live in the cloud.

Deployment Models: This is how cloud resources are operated and distributed (public vs private).

Tenancy Options: Specifies the type of cloud that you are using – shared versus dedicated, and how resources are assigned to your company.

Each of these ingredients has a big impact on which RISE with SAP tenancy model is appropriate for your business requirements.

Comparing Deployment Models

To narrow down which tenancy model is the right fit for your needs, here’s a comparison of the main deployment models:

Private Cloud

(Microsoft also offers a Private Cloud product for building your own cloud environment used by no other customer than you. It lives on-premises or in a private data center and provides your company with greater control over IT infrastructure.)

Advantages of Private Cloud:

• Improved security – Cloud is hosted on dedicated servers so you can have access to higher levels of data privacy and security.
  
• Customization – with a private cloud you have a greater ability to customize your applications and environment to fit specific business needs.
  
• Regulatory Compliance: Private cloud implementations are good for organizations that have to work within the constraints of stringent data protection policies, such as GDPR or HIPAA.
  

Best For: Companies who have very strict data privacy laws and companies that need a lot of customization for complex business processes.

Public Cloud

Public Cloud is shared among different customers, as such your company gets divvied up and wedged into its cloud capacity. The providers of public clouds are often third party companies.

Advantages of Public Cloud:

• Cost Efficient: Public clouds are cost-effective because you share resources with other companies. It uses a pay–as-you-go model which makes it scalable and cost-effective for businesses.
  
• Scalable: Public cloud services can easily accommodate rapidly changing needs and are perfect for businesses that have varying workload requirements.
  
• Innovation and velocity: Public clouds are generally served with leading-edge innovations and technologies, giving businesses the ability to leverage bleeding-edge capabilities without bearing the weight of its infrastructure.
  

Best For: Small to mid-sized businesses or institutions who have intermittent workload periods and are looking for an affordable, flexible solution.

Private Cloud Vs Public Cloud: The Definitive Comparison

Benefits of Private Cloud:

• Exclusive Resources: With the private cloud, dedicated resources are available as per your business requirement which results in better performance and efficiency.
  
• More control over data: You own your own data, so sensitive information stays secure and compliant with regulations.
  
• Customization Organizations are able to customize their private cloud infrastructure to fit specific requirements, providing more flexibility in configurations and optimizations.
  

Advantages of Public Cloud:

• Cost Savings: Public clouds dramatically decrease upfront capital required to operate infrastructure on-premise. It’s billed as you go so it tends to be a little cheaper.
  
• More Flexibility: With a public cloud, you can scale services up or down as your business changes (or experiences seasonal fluctuations).
  
• Innovation: Public cloud providers are very aggressive in rolling out new features and capabilities, which keep your business at the forefront of industry trends.
  

Which Model is Right for You?

Evaluate Business Objectives and Compliance Needs:

• If security for your data and industry regulation is of the utmost importance then a private cloud will be most suitable.
  
• If the focus is on cost, flexibility, and scalability, a Public Cloud may be the way to go.
  

Think about the Cost vs. Control:

• Private clouds do provide more control, but at a higher cost in operations.
  
• Public clouds are cheaper but entail less control over the infrastructure.
  

Evaluate Long-Term Scalability Needs:

• If you are a company expecting high growth or with demand that varies, more scalability is possible in Public Cloud environments.
  
• For organizations with stable operations that require a customized infrastructure, a Private Cloud may be the best long-term solution.

By considering these factors, you will be able to decide which RISE with SAP tenancy model best meets your business strategy.
