Description
SAP Data Archiving
Data in SAP systems is growing resulting in increased risk, reduced system performance and increased total cost of ownership (TCO). SAP data archiving removes data from the SAP database safely and securely, storing it in a compliant long-term storage, and ensures the data is available for future retrieval.
The expansion of data in your system leads to increased costs (increased storage especially with replicated environments either HA or duplicate pre-production systems, slower system performance, longer backup and restore times). Data archiving solves this issue by removing data from your system that is no longer required daily. It stores the data in archive files in secure external storage, by using OpenText Archive Center, all the while the data is still available for retrieval, using the same transactions.
Data archiving also reduces resource consumption, like disk space and CPU, which leads to a reduced SAP HANA hardware footprint. Overall IT administration costs are reduced by ensuring faster backup and restore times and less downtime required for upgrades.
TCO is further reduced in that SAP Data Archiving with OpenText is fully integrated with SAP applications and is certified for integration with the SAP ArchiveLink and Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) interface.
Features
Improved total cost of ownership
TCO is further reduced in that SAP Data Archiving with OpenText is fully integrated with SAP applications and is certified for integration with the SAP ArchiveLink and Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) interface.
Minimize your risk with long term compliant storage
With GDPR and other strict data laws, companies need to have a robust data management solution to fulfill compliance mandates and regulations for data retention. Reduce your legal and operational risks through secure and compliant data store, whilst high availability, replication, and disaster recovery ensures business continuity.
Data Security
There is separation between writing the data to the archive file and then the deletion of the data from the ERP database adding a layer of safety if you encounter transfer errors. You can only delete the data once it has besuccessfully archived.
Connection to an external source
Use Tertiary storage media, such as WORMs and hierarchical storage management systems (HSM systems) in the file system. The HSM system manages the archive files automatically. For storage of the archive files, the HSM system can also use tertiary storage media.
Data Compression
During archiving, data is automatically compressed by up to a factor of 5. However, if the data to be archived is stored in cluster tables, no additional compression takes place.
Access to Archived Data
As the archived data has only been removed from the database and not from the application, it is available at any time.
Automatic conversation of old archive files
When archived data is read, the system automatically makes the conversions required by hardware and software changes.
Memory space gain
Gaining an increase in memory space improves the performance of the application programs.
