Question
You have an on-premises SAP environment hosted on VMware vSphere that uses Microsoft SQL Server as the database platform.
You plan to migrate the environment to Azure. The database platform will remain the same.
You need to gather information to size the target Azure environment for the migration.
What should you use?
- A. the SAP EarlyWatch Alert report Correct
- B. Azure Advisor
- C. the SAP HANA sizing report
- D. Azure Stack Edge
Explanation
For an existing SAP system, Microsoft recommends sizing from the current workload of the source system, using inputs such as DBMS workload reports and SAP EarlyWatch Alert reports, which show CPU, memory, database size and growth. The SAP HANA sizing report only applies when moving to SAP HANA, and the database here stays on SQL Server. Azure Advisor gives recommendations for resources already in Azure, and Azure Stack Edge is an edge appliance, not a sizing tool.
