SAP Cloud Ultimatum – Innovate or Expire
SAP is pushing customers to migrate to its cloud ERP system, S/4HANA, by 2030, threatening to withhold support and innovation for those who don’t. The company’s Customer Data Center (CDC) deployment, a private cloud model, offers a compromise for those with regulatory concerns, but it still requires a costly and complex rebuild. Ultimately, SAP is executing a vendor lock-in strategy, forcing customers to choose between migration pain now or irrelevance later. At Cloud Field Day, HPE presented a GreenLake solution for SAP as outlined by Maciej Lelusz in this article following the event.

There are Too Many Clouds
Public Cloud computing is a large part of enterprise IT alongside on-premises computing. Many organizations that had a cloud-first approach and are now gaining value from on-premises private clouds and seeing their changing business needs leading to changing cloud use. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast delves into the complexity of multiple cloud providers and features Maciej Lelusz, Jack Poller, Justin Warren, and host Alastair Cooke, all attendees at Cloud Field Day. The awareness of changing business needs is causing some re-thinking of how businesses use cloud platforms, possibly moving away from using cloud vendor specific services to bare VMs. VMs are far simpler to move from one cloud to another, or between public cloud and private cloud platforms. Over time, the market will speak and if there are too many cloud providers, we will see mergers, acquisitions or failures of smaller specialized cloud providers. In the meantime, choosing where to put which application for the best outcome can be a challenge for businesses.
