© Aviatrix, 2023 SOLUTION BRIEF Managed Service Providers Run SAP Better On Aviatrix SAP Managed Service Providers (MSPs) use Aviatrix for business-critical cloud networking infrastructure that supports SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. MSPs need a consistent, multicloud backbone to standardize the onboarding of their customer's mission-critical SAP S/4HANA systems and applications. Aviatrix is the leader in cloud networking with embedded telemetry that delivers actionable insights to optimize SAP S/4HANA and SAP application availability, performance, security, and cost. Aviatrix Intelligent Cloud Networking Aviatrix intelligent cloud networking is a foundational cloud infrastructure that creates a consistent network platform to host SAP S/4HANA in any Cloud Service Provider (CSP) a customer selects. Aviatrix helps MSPs accelerate both landing and onboarding new SAP S/4HANA customers. Predictive analytics, designed to prevent problems with security, is embedded directly into the cloud network to reduce business risk. A simplified, consistent cloud operational model reduces the skills required to manage the multicloud network, regardless of the customer's CSP. Advanced Networking and Security Features While it's possible to use native cloud services to achieve basic connectivity, this approach often requires custom, brittle workarounds and ongoing manual updates. When these workarounds and manual updates fail, they are challenging to troubleshoot, causing extended downtime, project delays, and additional consulting costs. Aviatrix provides elegant solutions for overlapping IP Spaces in any cloud, overlay/floating IP requirements in AWS, high-performance encryption (up to 100 Gbps), secure network segmentation, and distributed firewalling, all designed to simplify landing new SAP customers to ensure corporate and regulatory compliance. Visibility and Troubleshooting Native cloud networking services are "black boxes" from a visibility perspective. The limited visibility makes troubleshooting difficult and complex, resulting in extended downtime, project delays, and revenue loss. Business-critical applications, such as SAP S/4HANA and related SAP applications, need enterprise-class visibility that native cloud services do not provide. MSPs Aviatrix has been proven, by MSPs, to reduce troubleshooting time "from weeks to minutes." Consistent Multicloud Operational Model Shared services are the core of an MSPs infrastructure, including backup, anti-virus, DNS, SAP Focused Run, IPAM, and patch management. Aviatrix provides a consistent solution for consolidating shared services across clouds and regions, resulting in measurable cost savings. Aviatrix provides the multicloud networking required to allow workloads connecting to SAP services to be in multiple clouds or to support SAP services delivered from different clouds. High-growth MSPs are eager to simplify and consolidate their multicloud infrastructure, and Aviatrix has been called a "force multiplier," a proven solution for increasing MSP margins.
