SAP on AWS: overview
Moving SAP to AWS is an infrastructure project and an SAP Basis project at the same time. We cover both: the multi-account landing zone and network, SAP HANA sized on the current AWS-certified instance list, a rehearsed migration with a tested rollback, and cost control from day one. AWS is billed by us at list price, with no mark-up on compute.
Who it is for
- SAP customers moving from on-premise to AWS
- Companies comparing RISE with SAP and self-hosted SAP on AWS
- Organisations that want SAP and AWS from one supplier

SAP on AWS: frequently asked questions
Is Farrenio an AWS partner?
Yes. Farrenio is an AWS Authorized Reseller in the AWS Partner Network. We resell AWS to companies running SAP and design, migrate and operate their SAP landscapes on AWS.
Which AWS region do you use for SAP?
By default Frankfurt (eu-central-1), which keeps data in the EU. Other regions are possible when your requirements call for them.
RISE with SAP or self-hosted on AWS?
Both run on hyperscaler infrastructure, but the contracts, responsibilities and costs differ. We compare them honestly for your case and say when RISE is the better choice.
Do you add a mark-up on AWS compute?
No. AWS is billed at list price with no compute mark-up. We earn from our services and the FCC platform subscription.
Do you work remotely or on site?
Most SAP Basis work is delivered remotely over secure connections, and we come on site when a project needs it. Our base is in Corbeanca, Ilfov, near Bucharest, and we work with companies across Romania and Europe.
How is the work priced?
We quote after a short landscape review: a fixed price for clearly defined projects, or a monthly fee for managed services, based on the number of systems and the service level you need.
