Enabling SAP creation in A SAP cloud

Ok, we all heard the blog's and twits about @vsikka today saying SAP was not a fit for the clouds. But what folks fail to read was that SAP was not ready to put SAP PRODUCTION environments in the cloud. I do not blame him! We tell folks all the time our SAP cloud the "Silver lining" is NOT for production but for the other 75% of your landscape where you do not house mission critical data.

Folks, you read into the info he said deeper and you see just that. Now I too sometimes the flame is out in R&D at SAP, but to be honest I am a geek I love technology and the growth that can come by it, but you need to allow the creativity to fester, let it grow.

So as an SAP firm, we did that. I took the last 5 years of my life and have grown an SAP landscape in clouds...Big beautiful fluffy wonderful clouds! SO I know have over 400 SAP landscapes in clouds and NOT a 1 is a PRD environment. Nada, Zip, Zero Zilch not a 1! Why? The cloud is still too new. If my sandbox, or a training or a development cloud vanishes, nothing hurt. But a production kills my company!

So again, look at it as your taking the non-production solutions and your putting them at your granny's home. You know their safe because granny is kind & sweet and does wonderful things, but that one time she touches it "blam" out goes the light....Well we re-provision a new cloud from storage and less then 30 minutes later were back in business as if nothing was there to slow us down. That's the power for an SAP firm NOT that production is in a cloud. That my fellow SAP geek's is real development power and we at Hiln do it every day for the SAP Eco-system!
