SAP (ERP) Data and Document Archiving

Relieving SAP from Non-production Data without Losing Access to Such Data

As the production SAP database grows, companies increasingly strive for long-term historical data deposition. This is connected with long-term need for its accessibility – also for legislative reasons – and thus the requirement on shorter data restoring times. Investments into SAP motivate organizations to maintain other hardware and administration costs at an optimal level. Solution consists in relieving SAP from non-production data as this results in reduced time demands on system response.

Efficient SAP administration and relief can be achieved with a solution for documents and data archiving.  Documents and data is logically organized and stored on the archive server.  Secure and non-rewriteable form of archiving is possible with supported high capacity repository platforms, for example optical media or disk arrays. Centera disk array furthermore enables compliance with retention and disposal period for the time stipulated by law. The electronic archive is physically separated from SAP and its architecture can be also designed for Remote and Stand-by mode as required. All archived data and documents are still accessible directly from SAP and relevant access rights are reflected.
