SAP has decided to stop supporting the on-premise platform within the next few years. So, you have to migrate to cloud services to continue reaping the business benefits. However, before you plan to move your on-premise IT infrastructure to cloud solutions, you should know how this migration will help in boosting your business prospects. Also, you need to choose the right strategy or tools in the process.<\/p>\n<p>According to an estimate, the on-premise business management software will still have a market share of 57% in 2020. On the other hand, cloud solutions will also showcase the growth of about 10% CAGR by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud technology is gaining prominence. Business organizations have identified various advantages of cloud migration such as getting remote access from any device, reducing the cost of hardware updates, and offering more customizable solutions according to the needs of the business.<\/p>\n                            \n                        <\/div>\n                            \n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n                                                                                <section class=\"insights-middle\"  id=\"enters\" >\n                        <div class=\"insights-container\">\n                            \n                        <div class=\"insights-middle-content\">\n                            <h2>SAP Enters into a Partnership With Microsoft Azure<\/h2>\n<p>The two major software giants SAP and Microsoft entered into a cloud partnership in November 2017. As a result, business organizations have been rapidly moving to cloud services where they can benefit from both SAP in the cloud and Microsoft Azure. Furthermore, Microsoft has invested a considerable amount of money (about $89.5 billion) in SAP-based applications for running its successful operations. Some of these apps include Human Resource Management, Finance, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, and many more. Migrating the SAP applications to Microsoft Azure has allowed the team to curtail the cost by 10 to 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the above statistics and figures, a number of SAP customers running their SAP business applications on-premise with AnyDB have either moved to Microsoft Azure or planning to migrate to advanced cloud technology. AnyDB means a non-SAP HANA certificate database like Oracle, MaxDB, SQL server, and so on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59578 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accely.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SAP-customers-are-migrating-to-Microsoft-Azure-300x200.webp\" alt=\"SAP-customers-are-migrating-to-Microsoft-Azure\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accely.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SAP-customers-are-migrating-to-Microsoft-Azure-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.accely.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SAP-customers-are-migrating-to-Microsoft-Azure-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.accely.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SAP-customers-are-migrating-to-Microsoft-Azure.webp 891w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/mediahandler\/files\/resourcefiles\/migrating-sap-applications-to-azure\/Migrating_SAP_Applications_to_Azure.pdf\">Microsoft Official Blog<\/a><br \/>\nThe image displays a roadmap where different SAP customers are migrating to Microsoft Azure<\/p>\n                            \n                        <\/div>\n                            \n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n                                                                                <section class=\"insights-middle\"  id=\"migration \" >\n                        <div class=\"insights-container\">\n                            \n                        <div class=\"insights-middle-content\">\n                            <h2>Migration Tools and Techniques<\/h2>\n<p>Before we outline the top reasons why you need to migrate your SAP systems to Microsoft Azure, let\u2019s first highlight the important tools and techniques.<\/p>\n<h3>Backup and Restoring Options<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to save data on the source system and restore it to a different system, you can use the backup and restore option. Microsoft Azure is a robust cloud solution that provides various storage options, simplifying the process of data transmission.<\/p>\n<p>The backup and restore option is a tried-and-tested method that helps you to save data on one resource system and restore it to a different system.<\/p>\n<h3>Database Replication Features<\/h3>\n<p>Database Replication Features include the following tools such as-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SQL Server AlwaysOn,<\/li>\n<li>SAP HANA System Replication (HSR), and<\/li>\n<li>Oracle Data Guard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>SQL Server AlwaysOn<\/h3>\n<p>The benefit of using SQL Server AlwaysOn is that it allows you to directly copy the SAP HANA data from one source to another database. Moreover, you can also extend the on-premise Availability Groups to Microsoft Azure by providing one or more Azure Virtual Machines along with SQL server. In the next step, you have to use Azure VMs and SQL server as replicas and replicate them to the on-premise Availability Group.<\/p>\n<h3>SAP HANA System Replication<\/h3>\n<p>The SAP HANA Replication process is a highly reliable availability and disaster restoration solution. It constantly focuses on the synchronization of the HANA database, replicating all data to a secondary location either in the same data center or any remote site. It helps to reduce the Recovery Time Objective (RTO). If there is any failure in the primary site, the secondary site will take the responsibility without any HANA DB restart to act as primary database right away.<\/p>\n<h3>Oracle Data Guard<\/h3>\n<p>Oracle Data Guard is a complete set of solutions that helps in managing, maintaining, building and checking one or more standby databases enabling production. It protects the databases against data disaster and data corruption.<\/p>\n<h3>SAP System Copy<\/h3>\n<p>As the name suggests, the SAP System Copy allows you to develop continuous copies of an SAP system based on your requirements. SAP System Copy and migration solutions of Software Provisioning Manager 1,0 is enabled with the latest SAPinst version having advanced features and fixes.<\/p>\n<h3>SAP HANA Classical Migration<\/h3>\n<p>It is a tool using which allows you to move your database to SAP HANA. You can also make use of SAP heterogeneous copy processes and tools.<\/p>\n<h3>SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) Database Migration Option (DMO)<\/h3>\n<p>The Database Migration Option (DMO) is a process that integrates the database migration into SAP Update Manager (SUM). It simplifies the task of releasing SAP updates along with SAP database platform migrations for moving to Microsoft Azure. It also offers more import and export benefits in comparison to classical migration toolset.<\/p>\n                            \n                        <\/div>\n                            \n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n                                                                                <section class=\"insights-middle\"  id=\"understandingsap\" >\n                        <div class=\"insights-container\">\n                            \n                        <div class=\"insights-middle-content\">\n                            <h2>Implementation of Technology<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from the above mentioned tools and methodologies, the <a href=\"\/services\/strategy-consulting-services\/\">SAP experts<\/a> also have to use a few advanced technologies or implement the right hardware system.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>The first technology used is Azure IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) solutions and components.
