3 SAP Architecture Overview Quick Introduction

4 What is SAP? SAP is a Software Company Companies acquisition strategy Business Objects Sybase OpenText Concur 99% of the times it will refer to the ERP or BW products 4

5 SAP Typical applications Different platforms ABAP Based S/4 HANA Enterprise Resource Planning BW Business Warehouse NetWeaver Gateway / Frontend Server CRM Customer Relationship Management J2EE Based Enterprise Portal Process Integration (AAEX) Other Business Objects Business Intelligence presentation layer Trex Index server Archive Server 5

6 What is HANA? For the HW Vendor A server with a lot of memory For the Application A database For the developer A development platform For the End-User An ERP (S/4 HANA) SAP S/4 HANA is an ERP product that runs on a SAP HANA Database that needs to be running on a SAP HANA certified Hardware 6

7 3-Tier architecture Presentation Layer: SAP GUI, SAP Fiori Application Layer: ABAP Code Database Tier: RDBMS, Oracle, HANA 7

9 What s the best landscape? There is not a unique truth Customers will need to decide their requirements based on: RTO: Recovery Time Objective RPO: Recovery Point Objective DR: Disaster Recovery Strategy SLA: Uptime Service Level Agreement 9

11 SAP on Azure Why? Benefits

12 SAP Customer challenges Traditional server/storage/ network hardware with backup/ha solutions can be costly Dev/Test/QA busy during implementation, idle after go-live, except QA for trouble shooting Choices of datacenter locations are limited in spite of global user access Sizing is often difficult and customers realize hardware/hosting vendors oversized after rollout People to run SAP on-premises without automation solutions is the biggest cost factor SAP customers cannot afford having a second datacenter for disaster recovery and tend to rely on oldstyle tape backup Other technologies needed when SAP does not meet customer requirements for analytics/bpm/ux/eai 12

13 Why SAP on Azure One of the deepest partnerships in the industry Almost every SAP customer is a Microsoft customer too SAP on Windows deployments are roughly 60%, provides an unique opportunity be the premier cloud target Most comprehensive platform for running SAP workloads Choice and broad range of capabilities for enterprise customers Linux and Windows OS, SAP ASE, IBM DB2, Oracle, and SQL Server DB for SAP NetWeaver Built in support for HA/DR and enterprise grade security and compliance Agile provisioning of environments Covering full application lifecycle dev/test/prod/support Rich ecosystem and development environment Build modern apps using higher level Azure services O365, BI, Machine Learning, Mobile, etc. in 38 regions 13

14 SAP on Azure Benefits Scenarios Development and Test Quick provisioning of development and test environments with the ability to stop the environments any time Production environment Production environments for new customers Disaster Recovery Keep environments for recovery purposes without additional cost Archiving Archive data and the corresponding SAP systems audit-proof without running costs and always available Benefits 40-75% TCO cost savings Minutes instead of days faster provisioning 60% less storage costs Higher Agility Lower Costs Less Complexity Higher Innovation 14

15 How can we migrate SAP Workloads? From SAP s Standpoint the platform is pretty transparent Once the appropriate infrastructure is provisioned, migrating follows the standard system copy procedure: HOMOGENEOUS: Keeps platform Database specific procedures HETEROGENEOUS : Platform change Ie: Oracle to HANA Big opportunity to migrate to HANA The questions are What s the infrastructure that supports my environment? How do I provision it? How much will it cost? 15

16 Migrate SAP Workload to Azure process ANALYSIS DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT What are the requirements? What is the solution that satisfies the requirements? Execution of the plan Solution Support after Go-Live 16
