Solution Description
Challenge
Global enterprises demand always-on application and information availability to remain competitive. EMC offers a business continuity and high availability strategy for mission-critical applications such as SAP ERP.
Recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs) are key metrics when planning a mission critical business continuity strategy. The answer two fundamental questions that businesses pose when they consider the potential impact of a disaster or failure.
- How much data can we afford to lose (RPO)?
- How fast do we need the system or application to recover (RTO)?
- Minimizing RPO and RTO
- Eliminating single points of failure(SPOFs) - technology, people, processes
- Maximizing resource utilization
- Reducing infrastructure costs
- Managing the complexity of integrating, maintaining, and testing multiple point solutions
Solution
This solution introduces an EMC solution that addresses all these challenges for SAP ERP applications with an Oracle Real Applications Clusters (RAC) 11g database layer. The solution demonstrates an innovative active/active deployment model for data centers up to 100 km apart.This transforms the traditional active/passive disaster recovery (DR) model to a highly available business continuity solution, with 24/7 application availability, no single points of failure, and near-zero RTOs and RPOs.
