Video: How SIOS Makes High Availability & Disaster Recovery Easy In SAP HANA Environment

June 9, 2023 by Jason Aw Leave a Comment

Video: How SIOS Makes High Availability & Disaster Recovery Easy In SAP HANA Environment

In this video, Todd Doane, Solutions Architect at SIOS, talks about how SIOS provides high availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR) in the SAP HANA environment.

Highlights of this video interview:

  • SAP HANA is a complex environment with three layers: presentation, application, and database. While the presentation layer is easy to protect, the other two present challenges. There are different processes running, there is data moving between the layers and between servers, there is replication going on. There are many possible failure scenarios and many things to monitor, on top of following SAP best practices. To ensure a recovery point objective (RPO) of near-zero data loss is a daunting task.
  • The key thing is to reduce the single points of failure, multiple servers at every layer, with replication to a passive and standby server and a disaster recovery server. And those need to be distributed through multiple data centers.
  • The biggest cause of failure is when there are a lot of tasks and scripts that need to run and having someone do it manually. This increases the chance of human error. Therefore, to be able to provide a good HA/DR environment, you need 1) automation, and 2) planning and frequent testing to make sure that HA is working as expected, your databases are getting registered, and failover is truly seamless.
  • Once the SAP HANA environment is set up, the SIOS Protection Suite installation and configuration can be done through a GUI wizard, which takes about an hour. It orchestrates and automates to make the failover extremely easy. It adheres to all the SAP best practices for fast, reliable continued operation. It also features a “takeover with handshake” of the SAP HANA database.
  • SIOS recently added the SAP HANA third-node support. SIOS has always been able to do that at the application layer but now, it can support it at the database layer as well.

Webinar: Oracle database High Availability In The Cloud

April 18, 2020 by Jason Aw Leave a Comment

Oracle Database High Availability In The Cloud

Webinar: Oracle Database High Availability In The Cloud

Oracle DB HA in the Cloud:
Save costs and cut downtime after migrating
your Oracle workloads to the cloud

Moving to the cloud does not have to involve disruptive changes to your architecture and application designs. Nor high costs to keep High Availability redundancy and architectural changes to your HA clusters.

Even when Oracle removed the RAC feature from Standard Edition from 19c onward, and ends support for 12c, you can still achieve high-availability with 3rd party HA solutions like SIOS. Enjoy savings of up to 70% of costs without upgrading to enterprise edition Oracle DB.

In this 1-hour online session, learn how you can achieve the above and more. This includes cost savings when using Oracle and other applications for your organization. All these without compromising your 99.99% uptime requirement in the cloud.

Agenda

  • Benefits of Migrating Oracle DB to the cloud
  • High-Availability Challenges of Moving Oracle in the cloud
  • Why it Matters: Cost benefits compared to using Oracle RAC/Dataguard
  • Oracle and SIOS HA on cloud architectures
  • Q&A

Live Webinar – Thursday, 23rd April, 2020
12pm SGT, 2pm AEST, 11am PHT, 9:30am IST

Used by some of the most demanding enterprises in APAC including – AGL Australia • Perth Stadium • Dept of Transport and Main Roads Australia • Inghams Group Australia • Chris O’brien Hospital • Korea Education bureau • LG Display Korea • Mitsubishi Heavy Industries • NH Bank Korea • Nagaworld Casinos Cambodia • Nomura Research Institute (Shanghai) • Panasonic Asia • Razer Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd • Samsung Korea • Zespri New Zealand
