The Challenge ...
- Our SAP systems are mission critical - We need a real plan for the recovery of our SAP systems in the event of a disaster.
- Hauling backup tapes to a cold recovery site was never a great answer.
- Hardware and SAP replication are complex, expensive and don't work well over large distances.
- We need protection from database corruption, the greatest risk to our SAP systems.
The Answer: BusinessShadow
Your SAP production systems are mission-critical. Although rare, catastrophic events do occur. Fire, flood, power loss and other events can cause the total loss of your SAP production servers.
Traditional tape backup based disaster recovery solutions are slow and usually lose your most recent production data.
Synchronize your SAP clients and reduce their size by up to 90%.
BusinessShadow mirrors your production SAP database maintaining a DR server in continuous recovery mode.
If a serious application issue or physical loss of your data center occurs, the mirrored system can be brought on-line within MINUTES with little to no loss of data.
