• DSAG (German SAP User Group) members

questioned the self-conception of the classic

“SAP Basis Team” in the light of digitalization.

• This attracted a lot of interest and finally DSAG

recommendations were published by the “SAP

Basis Team of Tomorrow” project group.

• new roles / future roles

• positioning & communication

• cross-function team

• How about your SAP Basis – or more general:

application architecture – teams?

Finally it is not important that you

use the “right” term – the key is to

have a common understanding.

HA in application (Enqueue Replication, HANA System Replication, SQL Server AlwaysOn…),

HA in OS, HA for VM and all potential dependencies…

What is the problem?

Let us have a look to a practical question …

Is built-in VMware HA sufficient for my

business needs?

➢ Finally it is not a matter of

technology – it is a matter of

people and organization.

Successful digitalization requires

organizational transformation.

Do I need to setup a InGuest-

Clustering or other solutions?

Do I really know my business needs & can I translate it to IT – and finally – architecture requirements?

OR

➢ Probably you will not find an

optimal solution if you do not bring

the right people together that

have the same attitude of

collaboration.

• DC relocation program provided a unique chance to create a new SAP application architecture and operations concept

• Teamwork, tight collaboration and partner involvement was (and is) key for success!

• Key thoughts for “SAP Application Cloud”

• Keep it as simple as possible

• Efficient use of hardware resources

• Expect that current limits today may not be relevant in near future

• E.g. VMware memory limits and SAP restrictions (scale out, multi-VM, one server)

• Separate SAP systems in dedicated VMs

• Enable High Availability (HA) via VMware

• …and thorough usage of SAP Landscape Management
