EMC Hybrid Cloud, hybrid cloud deployment SAP solution

The components of the entire EMC hybrid cloud are shown in the following figure:

This white paper The challenges faced in the transition from meeting SAP infrastructure to hybrid cloud deployment, and the most important issues that the organization’s IT department needs to solve in deploying SAP infrastructure in hybrid cloud: security, integration of IT internals and public cloud services, Start with utilization monitoring, data ownership and data storage location. In response to these challenges, we will introduce how EMC Hybrid Cloud can help customers cope with these challenges. The article pointed out that compared with a single choice of public cloud and private cloud to deploy SAP, although the public cloud has advantages in cost, it is insufficient for enterprises to control the public cloud. Although the private cloud is maintained by the enterprise itself, the enterprise owns the key data storage and can customize the data protection method according to the business needs, but in some cases the cost will be slightly higher. Compared with the former two, the hybrid cloud architecture can balance the advantages of the two aspects, that is, obtain a lower TCO while achieving more flexible resource expansion and users can selectively deploy applications to private clouds or public clouds.

The following hybrid cloud deployment SAP architecture:

In this architecture, VMware’s VMware vCloud Suite is responsible for operating system virtualization (vCenter Server), automated operation portal (vCAC), and automated application deployment (vCAD). , VCO), SAP integration component (vC Ops SAP adapter), VMware NSX undertakes network virtualization, VMware Log Insigh The role of t is system log analysis, and IT Business Management Suite is responsible for business layer management. EMC storage array VNX or VMAX as the final data storage carrier, EMC ViPR integrates all data storage to realize a software-defined storage platform. Use EMC ViPR SRM to realize user-side operation and management, and EMC PowerPath/VE realizes path management from virtual machine to data.

The solution introduces the advantages of using this solution architecture to deploy SAP from several perspectives, including system management, migration, SAP automatic deployment, multi-tenancy and billing, and network And safety, monitoring and fault analysis.

• System management: In addition to automating the on-demand deployment of SAP applications in system management, hybrid cloud also provides docking with external platforms managed by vCloud Director . In the test cases provided in the article, a SAP environment for development was successfully deployed on an external cloud platform.

• Migration: The hybrid cloud platform can migrate virtual machines from non-cloud platforms to the hybrid cloud. The article provides an example of importing a virtual machine into EMC Hybrid Cloud and Clear the virtual machine after the user finishes using it by setting a policy.

• SAP automatic deployment: The solution uses vCAD and vCAC to create SAP virtual machine templates and set SAP unattended installation scripts through the workflow through the vCAC Service Catalog. Realize user interaction, deploy SAP system and other functions.

Multi-tenancy and billing: In the solution, billing can be based on a single user and a single computing resource. The white paper provides an example of billing through a resource expansion case for business departments.

Network and security: Based on VXLAN, VXLAN isolates each unit tenant’s access to computing resources and integrates a hypervisor-level firewall to achieve network integrity. The article gives an example of network communication on different hybrid cloud platforms.

Monitoring and fault analysis: Tenants can use vC Ops and ViPR SRM to monitor computing and storage systems, as well as system-level reports. And by configuring alarms and event notifications for failure analysis.

Overall, this solution uses more than 77 pages to introduce the many functions and advantages of EMC Hybrid Cloud in deploying SAP After reading, I feel that there is not much SAP specific content involved in the article. Most of the functions of the hybrid cloud can be suitable for other application deployment, because in this hybrid cloud solution, EMC Hybrid Cloud provides all the infrastructure except for specific applications. The required components.
