Funny how the title made me instantly think: SAP HANA. After not seeing it for the first 5 paragraphs or so, Ctrl+F, ah yes.

Not too surprising given how close SAP and Amazon AWS have been ever since SAP started offering cloud solutions. Going back a couple years when SAP HANA was still in its infancy; trying it on servers with 20~100+ TB of memory, this seems like an obvious progression.

Of course there's always the barrier of AWS pricing.
