15. SAP Data Protection on Cloud
 SAP Backup in Cloud
• Private Cloud (VMware based)
• On-premise database to public cloud (AWS)
• Backup for database in public cloud (AWS)
 SAP HA in Cloud
• SAP HA options for Private Cloud (VMware based)
• SAP HA options for public cloud (AWS)
 SAP DR in Cloud
• SAP DR options for Private Cloud (VMware based)
• SAP DR from On-premise to public cloud (AWS)
• SAP DR within public cloud (AWS)
15

16. SAP Backup - On-premise to Public Cloud Oracle Secure Backup
Supported for Oracle 9i Release 2 or higher
Advantages
•Continuous Accessibility
•Better Reliability
•Unlimited scaling and no up-front capital costs
•Reduced off-site storage costs and tape licensing costs
•Easy provisioning of Test and Dev environments (from S3 to AMI)
Best practices for on-premise database backup to cloud
•Use Encryption feature for backups
•Use parallel streams and compression
•Use RMAN block change tracking feature for faster incremental backups
•In Oracle testing with Amazon S3, backup speeds of 40-50MB/sec were attained after configuring
right combination of compression and parallelism
16

17. SAP Backup – On-premise to Public Cloud Amazon Web Services options
AWS Storage Gateway can be utilized to back up data to Amazon S3’s highly reliable storage
environment.
S3 is designed to sustain the concurrent loss of data in two facilities, redundantly storing data on
multiple devices across multiple facilities in an AWS Region.
Other options include using AWS Direct Connect or AWS Import/Export
17

18. SAP Backup for systems in Public Cloud
Filesystem/OS level backups
• Create image
• EBS Snapshots
 Database backups
• EBS Snapshots
•Database backup to EBS
•Database backup to S3
18

19. SAP Backup On Private Cloud
19

20. SAP Backup on Private Cloud
Solution designed for a customer running SAP on Private Cloud
 Factors taken into consideration while designing the solution
• Capability to take clone copies of production data at storage array level
• Capability to perform de-duplication of data
• SAP Application aware backup software
• Backup software integration with De-duplication software
• Hypervisor software integration with storage array (to offload cloning related activities to storage array)
• Backup monitoring and reporting tool
 Components in above solution
• Vblock storage
• SAP Prod/Non-prod landscapes
• DataDomain
• Networker backup software
• ESXi 5.0
• Microsoft Windows 2003/2008
• RecoverPoint
20

21. SAP High Availability – Private Cloud (VMware based)
 The different combination of products used to achieve
highly availability for SAP in VMware based private cloud are
as follows:
VMware Fault Tolerance (FT)
VMware High Availability (HA)
Symantec ApplicationHA
 The VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) and VMware High
Availability (HA) features together can provide high
availability options for SAP single points of failure. Protection
against hardware failure for Central Services is possible with
VMware FT without the complexity of configuring replicated
Enqueue in a clustered environment.
 The application level restart / monitoring for the Database
& Central Instance will be done by Symantec ApplicationHA
to bridge the gap between VMwareHA and in-guest
clustering.
21

22. SAP HA – Limitations with AWS
Public Cloud – SAP specific AWS HA options limitation
 Clustering software (example: MSCS) cannot be deployed in AWS because of
multicast limitations
 EC2 Instance failure or EBS failure
• DB Instance failure – Replicate between two instances using database mirroring tools
either in same region or different region
• Launch new DB instance from AMI and attach EBS volumes from failed instance to the
new instance
 SAP Central Instance
• Setup standby SAP CI and setup enqueue replication between system. Manual
failover to secondary SAP CI in case of primary SAP CI failure.
22

23. SAP Disaster Recovery – Private Cloud (VMware based)
23

24. SAP Disaster Recovery – Private Cloud
Private Cloud Disaster Recovery
 Components of the solution
• EMC Vblock1 at primary site
• EMC Vblock 2 at secondary site
• Vmware vSphere
• Cisco UCS blades
• Cisco switches
• Recoverpoint
• VMware vCenter SRM
 Environment
• Enterprise customer with datacenters hundreds of miles apart with virtualized SAP
landscape comprised of ECC, CRM, BI, NWDI, TREX, EP, BPC, SCM, PI, MDM
components deployed on Vblock2 and Vblock 1 configuration.
•Solution able to meet the RTO/RPO requirements for both local and remote recovery
24

25. SAP Disaster Recovery – Public Cloud (AWS)
Multi Availability Zone replication
DB Instance failure – Replicate between two instances using database mirroring tools in different
Availability Zone. Launch new DB instance from AMI and attach EBS volumes from failed
instance to the new instance.
Multi region replication
If RTO and RPO requirements are not met with Mutli-Availability Zone replication, then mutli
region replication is an option but there are limitations. Objects between regions cannot
communicate.
25

26. SAP Disaster Recovery – On-premise to Public Cloud (AWS)
 AWS Storage Gateway
If there is a failure in the local infrastructure, DR environment in Amazon EC2 can
be quickly launched, which will have full access to the data snapshots backed up
into Amazon S3 by the AWS Storage Gateway.
26

27. AWS Partnership
