A key requirement for successfully managing
an SAP environment is having current data for test, development,
training, and sandbox systems. However, because of the explosive
growth of data in SAP production systems, it is not always feasible
to create complete copies for these purposes. SAP offers TDMS to
overcome this obstacle.
NetApp® solutions are fully
integrated with SAP TDMS and complement and enhance its
capabilities.
When combined with NetApp Snapshot™
and FlexClone® technologies that allow the fast and
efficient creation of SAP systems, you can execute TDMS extractions
and address any compliance, audit, or reporting request with
pinpoint accuracy-without limiting production availability. Once
the data has been extracted, you can make multiple copies for
parallel testing and development activities without changing the
data in the original target. In addition, NetApp solutions simplify
administration and reduce risk by allowing more testing with more
relevant data in a shorter period of time.
