SAP Backup – Private Cloud
11
SAP Backup – 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
12
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
13
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
14
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
15
SAP High Availability – Private Cloud (VMware based)
16
SAP HA – Private Cloud
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.
17
SAP HA – Public Cloud
Public Cloud – SAP specific AWS HA options
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.
18
SAP Disaster Recovery – Private Cloud (VMware based)
19
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
20
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.
21
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.
