Question
A company named Contoso, Ltd. has users across the globe. Contoso is evaluating whether to migrate SAP to Azure.
The SAP environment runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) servers and SAP HANA databases. The Suite on HANA database is 4 TB.
You need to recommend a migration solution to migrate SAP application servers and the SAP HANA databases. The solution must minimize downtime.
Which migration solutions should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation
SAP application servers: Azure Site Recovery replicates the stateless application server VMs to Azure and fails them over with little downtime; it suits the application tier but is not meant for the database tier because it cannot guarantee database consistency at high change rates. SAP HANA databases: SAP HANA system replication keeps a secondary HANA instance in Azure continuously synchronized with the on-premises primary, so cutover is just a takeover and downtime is minimal. A System Copy (export/import or backup/restore) requires the source to be offline for the whole copy of 4 TB, and AzCopy only moves files.
