Introduction Purpose of this guide This document focuses on the integration between Dell EMCTM storage systems and SAP Landscape Management (SAP LaMa) software to enable the automated end-to-end SAP system provisioning processes, System Clone, System Copy, and System Refresh. This document describes the steps required to install and configure the Dell EMC products that enable integration with SAP LaMa software. Business value SAP LaMa software supports application virtualization and provides management of SAP systems through a single user interface. This powerful management tool simplifies and optimizes provisioning, deployment, and management of SAP systems by using virtualization and cloud technology, and provides the following benefits: • Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) • Increased flexibility and agility to respond to business demands Objectives This guide covers how the Dell EMC Storage Integration features work with SAP LaMa software. The objectives of the document are to: • Introduce the key components of Enterprise Storage Integrator (ESI) for SAP LaMa • Describe how to install and configure the three ESI key components • Present the ESI storage-based cloning integration solution with SAP LaMa system provisioning processes Audience This implementation guide is intended for the Dell EMC Professional Services team that is responsible for implementing ESI for SAP customers, and the Dell EMC Customer Service team that supports ESI. Technical experience with virtualization, servers, operating systems (OS), networking, and storage solutions is required to fully understand the content described in this document. Scope This paper focuses on the implementation of the components required for integration of the Dell EMC storage systems with SAP LaMa software with Linux and UNIX-based SAP systems. It does not cover all the features that are available with SAP LaMa software or details on SAP Post Copy Automation (PCA). 6 Dell EMC Storage Integration with SAP Landscape Management Software Implementation Guide Chapter 1: Introduction Terminology Table 1 describes the terms used in this document.

  • How Broad All-Flash Vendor Portfolios Help IT Customers
    White Paper How Broad All-Flash Vendor Portfolios Help IT Customers Sponsored by: Dell EMC Eric Burgener May 2017 IDC OPINION In the current 3rd Platform computing era, enterprises of all sizes are being asked to continue to support legacy applications while providing support for next-generation applications (NGAs) in mobile computing, social media, big data/analytics, and cloud environments. At the same time, most information technology (IT) organizations are consolidating around virtual infrastructure for both legacy and new applications. This has significantly changed the I/O profiles that storage infrastructure has to deal with, and it has become clear that for most primary storage workloads, and even now for some secondary workloads, hard disk drives (HDDs) no longer adequately meet requirements. As a result, we are seeing overall enterprise storage revenue shift away from HDD-based designs toward newer flash-based designs with the following results: . Flash is rapidly coming to dominate primary workloads as a persistent storage medium. For latency-sensitive workloads, flash offers performance, capacity, storage density, energy and floor space consumption, efficiency, and reliability benefits that are compellingly better than the benefits systems based around HDDs can offer for 3rd Platform computing workloads, and 76% of enterprises plan to deploy or evaluate all-flash array (AFA) platforms in the next 12 months. Differing workload requirements are driving the rise of new storage architectures. In the past, most enterprise storage designs were based around a scale-up, dual-controller model, but in the past several years, new architectures have emerged, which include scale-out, software- defined, converged and hyperconverged infrastructure, and cloud designs.

  • The Dell EMC VMAX 250F All-Flash Stora
    A Principled Technologies report: Hands-on testing. Real-world results. Manage transactional and data mart loads with superior performance and high availability Dell EMC VMAX 250F The Dell EMC VMAX 250F All Flash storage array supported database workloads better than the HPE 3PAR 8450 storage array It’s not enough to make the transaction process as fast and effortless as possible; the speed of business also demands a backend storage solution that won’t bog down when faced with large data mart transfers or let unplanned downtime interfere with business as usual. All-Flash storage arrays from Dell EMC™ and HPE promise to help companies avoid those pitfalls. But Latency 1ms or less how well do they live up to that promise? keeps wait times unnoticeable We set up and tested solutions from both vendors and found that the Dell EMC VMAX™ 250F All Flash storage array paired with PowerEdge™ servers came out ahead of the HPE 3PAR 8450 storage array backed by ProLiant servers in two key areas: • The VMAX 250F processed transactional and data mart Minimal impact during data mart load loading at the same time with minimal impact to wait times or database performance. • When faced with interruptions in access to local storage, the database host seamlessly redirected all I/O to the remote VMAX 250F via SRDF/Metro with no interruption of service or downtime. No downtime This report shows you how each system can help or hinder data with loss of local access during backups and unplanned downtime. storage connectivity Manage transactional and data mart loads with superior performance and high availability September 2017 Support customers and maintenance situations at the same time Companies routinely gather information from various offices or departments and store them in one place so The purpose of data marts it’s easier to keep track of sales, create financial reports, check expenses, and perform Big Data analysis.
