11 Highlights of the SQL Server Releases

12 SQL Server 2012: SAP related features New Features: AlwaysOn xvelocity Memory-Optimized Columnstore Index Windows Server Core Support Auditing Enhancements Enhancements: Data Compression Backup Compression Support for up to table partitions Transparent Data Encryption Dynamic Threshold for update Statistics Extended support for online index building

13 SQL Server Column Store with SAP BW SQL Server 2012 Column Store Deployment accelerates BW Queries and Improves Storage Efficiency. Customer example from Homepro (Retail, Thailand):

14 SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn AlwaysOn Unified high availability and disaster recovery solution Synchronous data movement Availability groups Multi-subnet AG Listener Backup from secondary

15 Database Compression Customer Experiences Page compression rates experienced by Quanta on some of their productive tables: Table Compression rate COSP 80% GLPCA 89% COEP 87% RESB 90% ACCTIT 87% MSEG 87% FAGLFLEXA 88% Up to 90% compression: Significant storage cost savings BSIS 90% COSB 84% GLFUNCA 89% More details:

16 Database Compression Customer Experiences CLP China Light Power Utility company in Hong Kong with ~2.4 million customer contracts. Annual Revenue: ~USD 7.5 Billion Compression of the SAP IS-U system resulted in: Reduction in DB volume from 1.85TB to 500GB (-74%) Reduction of DB response time/dialog step from 150ms to 100ms (-33%) Reduction of nightly batch job runtime from 3:15h to 2:05h (-36%) Backup size reduction from 307GB to 210GB (-32%) Backup run time reduction from 69min to 32min (-54%) More details:

17 SAP ERP system at Microsoft SAP ERP system was moved into production in 1996 on SQL Server 6.0 Used SQL Server Beta releases in production for every single SQL Server Development cycle in the last 14 years Runs all the most important business processes of Microsoft Today: Live in 67 countries 3,750 named GUI users, internal web users plus external web users, around ~2.200 concurrent Users batch job executions per month 2.8+ million dialog steps per business day (DIA+RFC) 110+ million business transactions per month (results often in multiple DBMS transactions) 0.7 seconds user response time % Windows/SQL availability since introduction SQL Server Database Mirroring in 2005 Ran nearly 20% of its time on SQL Server Beta releases since 2005 Already running productive on SQL Server 2014

21 Hybrid cloud solutions

22 SAP and Azure

23 Windows Server in all Deployment Forms In Microsoft s Cloud-OS strategy Windows Server is the technology base for all the deployment forms shown below For customer s SAP solutions Physical, Virtual and IaaS are interesting

24 SAP and Azure Public Cloud Deploying SAP landscape in Hybrid-IT landscapes using Microsoft Cloud-OS framework

25 SAP on Azure support announcement

26 SAP on Azure VM CPU's RAM SAPS* A A A A What it is: Microsoft Azure IaaS for the following SAP solutions: A VM CPU's RAM SAPS* D D D D SAP applications based on Netweaver 7.x (SAP Business Suite, ECC, PLM, CRM, SRM, SCM, etc.) on Windows/SQL Server, Windows/Oracle and Windows/SAP ASE (Sybase) SAP Hana Developer Edition SAP Business All In One Other SAP solutions (Business Objects, HANA Enterprise, Linux/Oracle, etc.) will be certified in the near future. What it is not: It is not a PaaS nor a SaaS offering Microsoft will not resell SAP solutions and SAP will not resell Azure, the model is bring your own license

27 Use Cases with SAP on Microsoft Azure 40+ customers run SAP on Azure today Use cases How Microsoft Azure helps How organizations benefit Deliver automated Disaster Recovery with low RPO and RTO Make timely changes to SAP workloads by development teams Fund intermittently used development and test infrastructure for SAP workloads Increase data center capacity to serve new SAP project requests Provide consistent training environments based on templates Archive historical systems for auditing and governance SQL AlwaysOn allows asynchronous mirroring data to Azure and Azure Recovery Services replicates onpremise Virtual Machines to Azure and orchestrates failover and failback times faster infrastructure provisioning and rollout compared to on-premises; faster changes by SAP application teams. Supports the ability to stop development and test systems at the end of the business day. Frees on-premises data center capacity by moving development and test for SAP workloads to Microsoft Azure without up-front investments. Ability to store and use pre-defined images of the training environment for new virtual machines. Supports migration of physical machines to virtual machines that can be switched on when needed. RPO and RTO is reduced and the cost of ownership of DR infrastructure is reduced. While the DR systems replicating the only cost incurred is storage Increased agility and the ability to provision instances within 20 minutes. Savings of as much as percent in hosting costs by exercising the ability to stop instances when not in use. Flexibility to shift from capital to operational expenditures. Cost savings by provisioning only the instances needed for training, and then deleting them when the event is complete. Savings of as much as 60 percent due to cheaper storage and the ability to quickly spin up systems based on need.
