Each type of service can be categorized under a domain. Widely used domains are: Compute, Storage, Database, Migration, Network and Content Delivery, Security & Identity Compliance, etc.

From the SNP perspective, Storage and Database domains are the relevant ones.

SNP supports storage service S3 and database service Redshift.

S3 is frequently used as a landing zone for integration scenarios with SNP Glue™, or as cost-efficient storage for SNP OutBoard™ Data Tiering.

Redshift is used in scenarios when Glue transfers the data into a directly consumable form or as a fast Outboard DataTiering storage suitable for frequently accessed data.

Please refer to the chapter (SM-2308) S3/Redshift Storage Setup for more information on how to set up these storages.

Costs

On top of SNP Glue™/OutBoard™ licenses, you need to reckon with the costs associated with resources deployed on AWS when storing data in S3 or Redshift.

These costs will mostly depend on:

Whether it's cold S3 storage, or hot Redshift storage
GBs of data stored
Frequency and amount of data retrieval

If you only use S3, check S3 pricing to estimate costs. The price depends on the amount of data stored, the number of requests, and the amount of data retrieved from S3.

For small deployments, where 500GBs (after compression) of data is stored, and the same amount of data is queried back to SAP in a month, the total costs are ~20 USD/month.

For deployments that require a Redshift database, please check Redshift costs. In addition to Redshift compute costs, you will also be charged for S3, which is used as intermediate storage when writing to Redshift.

For small deployments, with 500GB (before compression) of data stored in Redshift, it costs around 200 USD/month. This can be further reduced by purchasing reserved compute instances.

Cost estimates

The estimates listed here only provide the order of magnitude information. Actual costs depend on the customer use case and usage patterns. Use AWS Pricing calculator to calculate the estimate for your scenario.
