12 What is PI Federation Architectural Models Central A single integration server communicating with all business systems. Distributed A single integration server with one or more de-central adapter engines communicating with relevant business systems. Federated Two or more integration servers within a single landscape tier communicating with relevant business systems 2010 SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 12

13 What is PI Federation Architectural Progression Sample geographical progression.. Central Central PI Integration Server supporting global requirements Distributed Central PI Integration Server with de-central adaptor engines located regionally Central PI Integration Server with de-central adaptor engines close to business systems Expansion Federated Region PI Integration Servers Regional PI Integration Servers with de-central adaptor engines close to business systems Global PI Integration Server with regional PI integration servers Localized PI Integration Servers Shadow PI Integration Servers in production for business continuity in patching or upgrade scenarios. (Not specifically in this progression) Consolidation 2010 SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 13

Architectural Models Central - Overview Single Instance Per Tier Central Integration Server

16 Architectural Models Central - Reasons Simplicity and great TCO benefits High level of governance. High re-use of development objects. It should be considered as a starting point for all organizations before further distribution or federation is implemented. Global requirements can be met via security and role based authorizations SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 16

17 Architectural Models Central - Characteristics TCO Administration Effort Availability Monitoring Complexity Low Low Med Low Minimum hardware & application servers. Software Logistics simplified. Due to the single instance all in one solution. Upgrades, patches and software logistics are at their simplest. For larger organizations with a global footprint this may be restrictive due to downtime and patching synchronization. Single PI domain equals simplified monitoring Performance Internal Network Efficiency Common BP Delivery Global & Local Low Low High Low In a global organization this may be seen as low due to every message forced through central IS. In a global organization network efficiency is minimized due to lack of local processing. Development object re-use is maximized leading to common business process delivery. Single design time. In a global organization local autonomy may be restricted. Security & Profile usage may avoid this issue SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 17

18 Architectural Models Central - Recommendations Governance Central Software Logistics & Synchronization ESR Integration Directory SLD Service Registry Proxy Development Normal transports with CTS+ integration across each tier. No additional synchronization required due to central governance model. Normal transports with CTS+ integration across each tier. No additional synchronization required due to central governance model. Strategy will determine complexity of software logistics. Production/Non Production or an SLD per tier is recommended. Strategy is independent of PI implementation however a single SR per tier is recommended across all SAP solutions. i.e. Single SR for all of Dev. Ensure transportation of ESR content and SWCV is consistent with backend proxy definitions and associated runtime. General Recommendation Central model offers great TCO benefits and should be the starting point where possible SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 18

Architectural Models Distributed - Reasons

Security Placement within a De-Militarized

21 Architectural Models Distributed - Reasons Higher degree of distribution Localization Local processing of messages reducing network load, improving performance and reliability. Business Continuity Business continuity such as downtime minimization Technical Abstraction from upgrades & downtime Security Placement within a De-Militarized Zone for external and internal zone abstraction 2010 SAP AG.

Architectural Models Distributed - Characteristics TCO Administration Effort Availability Monitoring Complexity Performance Internal Network Efficiency Common BP Delivery Global & Local Med Med Med

23 Architectural Models Distributed - Characteristics TCO Administration Effort Availability Monitoring Complexity Performance Internal Network Efficiency Common BP Delivery Global & Local Med Med Med Med Med Med High Med Higher than central but still viable given additional application servers are still part of single domain. Higher effort than central given additional application servers. Central administration still an advantage. Better than central model due to de-central processing of messages and associated de-coupling. Higher than central but still manageable given single domain. Increased performance due to de-central message processing and associate load balancing benefits Improved efficiencies due to reduction of redundant message communications across network Development object re-use is maximized leading to common business process delivery. Single design time. Improved localization and globalization given distribution of runtime. Design time still centralized requiring security SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 23

Architectural Models Federated - Reasons Highest flexibility at the expense of TCO Segmentation Geographical

Able to remove division or sub-org quickly if sold.

Separation by process types such as transactional versus master data.

26 Architectural Models Federated - Reasons Highest flexibility at the expense of TCO Segmentation Geographical Organization and divisional autonomy due to legal or operational reasons. Able to remove division or sub-org quickly if sold. Separation of A2A and B2B integration scenarios for security reasons. Separation by process types such as transactional versus master data. Quality of Service obligations Billing requirements based on volume Prioritization of messages Security issues around personal data Business Continuity Business continuity such as downtime minimization Technical Abstraction from upgrades & downtime 2010 SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 26

27 Architectural Models Federated Examples Multiple PI instances per Tier What type of Segmentation? E.g. Political Level of segmentation? E.g. Regional Business Continuity for upgrades etc? 2010 SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 27

28 Architectural Models Federated - Characteristics TCO Administration Effort Availability Monitoring Complexity Performance Internal Network Efficiency Common BP Delivery Global & Local High High Med High High High Low High Highest TCO due to level of federation and additional PI instances. Large effort required to manage the solution and synchronize objects across landscapes. Best given local autonomy of design time and runtime message processing. De-coupling level is high. Domains monitored separately from central location however no holistic monitoring. You have to look at each domain. High level of performance given local processing. Additional hops with hub-2-hub may offset this. High level of efficiency due to minimization of network load. Again in hub-2-hub messaging an offset may be evident. Low level of re-use and resulting lack of common business process delivery. Multiple design times and runtimes. Allows for complete autonomy of local requirements which may offset global vision as per previous point SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 28

29 Architectural Models Federated - Recommendations Governance Central Local or Mixed Software Logistics & Synchronization ESR Integration Directory Choose you governance model. Either do everything centrally in one ESR and then transport 1:1 or selectively author based on object type. MD / TX. Local configuration is required to configure local scenarios and end points. SLD Service Registry Proxy Development Strategy will determine complexity of software logistics. Production/Non Production or an SLD per tier is recommended. Strategy is independent of PI implementation however a single SR per tier is recommended across all SAP solutions. i.e. Single SR for all of Dev. Ensure transportation of ESR content and SWCV is consistent with backend proxy definitions and associated runtime. General Recommendation Federation offer flexibility and abstraction but significantly impacts TCO. Implement wisely! 2010 SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 29

30 Architectural Models Federated - Recommendations Business System Communications Hub to Hub Clean demarcation of messaging Hub to Business System Connections to each business system Restrictions on sender proxy scenarios Higher level of complexity 2010 SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 30

32 General Recommendations Governance Model Selection Where should my ESR objects be created and by whom? Centrally Allows for high level of object re-use Common process delivery Security and profiles should be leveraged Local No object re-use achieved Complete autonomy May provide flexibility from isolation Mixed Some object re-use achieved Benefits from both models Requires co-ordination 2010 SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 32

33 General Recommendations Final Thoughts Keep it simple Expansion - Start with central and justify outwards. Consolidation Less is more. Emphasize governance. There is a trade off between TCO and flexibility. Security Leverage security across components. ESR & Integration Directory provides flexible security model to restrict access. This may be enough to mitigate concerns with central architectural mode. Justify Architectural Change Enforce governance. Don t jump to federation without understanding considerations. Justify changes to architecture carefully SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 33

34 Appendix Characteristic Descriptions TCO Administration Effort Availability Monitoring Complexity Performance Internal Network Efficiency Common BP Delivery Global & Local Total Cost of Ownership defines just how much it costs to implement, operate and support a given IT solution Administration defines how difficult the overall landscape is to operate and maintain with respect to downtime and planned upgrades etc. Relates to how available the Process Integration system for message processing This criterion defines the complexity and coverage of the monitoring solution in a given deployment model. This criterion covers the internal performance of the SAP application software, database and operating system when processing a message in SAP PI. Network looks at the impact or utilization on the physical communication network The ability to enforce a common business processes across the Process Integration landscape. The ability to meet local and global requirements both technically and business related SAP AG. All rights reserved. / Page 34
