AGENDA

• SAP Overview • SAP & EMC • Accelerate SAP • Virtualize SAP • Improve Disaster Recovery for SAP • Run SAP 24x7 • Scale-out HANA • Simplify Day-to-Day Operations • Enhance Backup & Recovery • Harden Security • Conclusions • Resources • Q&A


AGENDA



SAP Facts

• SAP stands for “Systems, Applications and Products” • Founded in 1972 • Headquarters in Walldorf, Germany

• with a vision : “to develop a software package that stiches a company’s diverse business functions together” •One of the largest enterprise applications provider (including business software, BI and DWH) worldwide


Solution Platform

ERP = Enteprise Resource Planning (used to be called ECC) CRM = Customer Relationship Management PLM = Product Lifecycle Management SCM = Supply Chain Management SRM = Supplier Relationship Management SNC = Supply Network Collaboration BI = Business Intelligence (data mining, business reporting etc). EP = Enterprise Portal PI = Process Integration (XI) MI = Mobile Infrastructure MDM = Master Data Management

Management of a SAP Landscape is Challenging


Key Observations

• Many modules (mostly mission-critical)

• Modules are exchanging messages with each other at application layer

• Environment may consist of several DBs

• Many copies result in a complex environment (test/QA/prod etc) • Very difficult for the customer to:

• modify a module due to dependencies to other modules • define a consistent point-in-time for the entire environment

• implement comprehensive DR and BC solutions • complex to manage day-to-day operations (clones, transports, backups etc)


Business Drivers

Increase Revenue

Lower Operational Costs

Reduce Risk

Increase Agility


Key Challenges for SAP Basis Teams

Shorten Business Innovation Cycles

Reduce Costs

Operational Simplification

Mitigation of Risks

Improve user experience

Support business and IT transformation initiatives


Where’s The Pain?

• SAP Sprawl • 1 SAP database

production 3 to 5 non-production

• Companies grows, shrinks, splits & mergers • Need dynamic

infrastructure

• Downtime is costly

• ~60% of all SAP have peak operations • ERP runs, HR salary calculations, building BW cubes

• ~78% of all SAP face continuous changes in their landscape • rollouts, functional extensions, release changes, process automation


Priorities

• SAP applications stability & availability

• SAP based IT security

• Software & hardware support

• SAP Performance & landscape management

• Scalability

• Prices & TCO

What customer says


VERY IMPORTANT Engaging with SAP Staff at the Customer

They do not care about storage

You must emphasize the “benefits” not the “technology” of our solutions

EMC solutions for SAP are the same hardware and software that you already know about.

AGENDA



Optimized SAP Performance

80% faster provisioning without downtime – Track and adjust SAP workloads

across storage tiers automatically – Ex: 22% lower cost/GB and 37%

less power with better performance

Handle unpredictable spikes in demand – Insert flash drives between

memory and underlying storage pools

– Ex: 300% more performance (read/process/update) with 50-72% less storage

Emphasize the Benefits

If you say “EMC’s tiering algorithm does x GB sub-block migrations”

SAP people hear “EMC’s blah blah algorithm

does x GB blah blah”

But if you say “EMC has this advanced software that ensures most active data is serviced by fastest disks. It increases overall application performance and reduces user response time “

SAP people hear “EMC has some cool disk technology that will make my application faster ”

AGENDA



SUMMARY 1. SAP environments represent a

brand new field of opportunities to explore

2. A rich portfolio of EMC solutions are available

3. Significant improvements for performance, availability, business continuity, HANA, managability and backups

4. Virtualization, replatforming and HANA are major drives by SAP

SAP solutions from our Greenplum and Documentum family of products are not covered in this presentation due to time constraints.


Questions to Ask:

•Which SAP applications do you have ? •What are the versions? •Which OS ? •Do you use virtualization ? Which one ? •Which DB ? •Do you have DR in place ? How ? •Do you have active/active operation ? •What do you want to improve ? •Who is your SAP technology partner ?
