Introduction of Cloud
Resiliency or the ability to self-heal.
Elasticity or the ability to grow and shrink based on
workload demands.
The perception of infinite scalability.
Self-service or automatic provisioning capabilities.
Consumption-based or pay-as-you-go (PAYG)
pricing models
Shared infrastructure and other resources (often
enabled through the use of virtualization, although
this is not required)

Benefit of Cloud
Using the cloud, IT organizations can more quickly
provision IT resources based on rapidly evolving business
demands.
IT organizations that use cloud-based resources need
fewer of their own IT professionals.
The ability to change how business users get their work
done is another great unexplored area of cloud
computing. The cloud can provide a mobile workforce
with access to quickly evolving IT services and solutions.
cloud-based systems open the door to round the-clock
access, just-in-time updates, and real-time business
insight.

Service Provider
This hosting entity is often referred to as a service
provider.
There are various types of clouds
Internal private clouds
Hosted private clouds
Public cloud
Hybrid cloud
1. Internal cloud:->
i. High level of control and security.
ii. Innovative first step toward cloud computing.
iii. Ability to comply with regulatory requirements.
iv. Fewer integration or performance issues than its
public counterparts.

Internal Private Cloud

Hosted Private Cloud
As opposed to an internal private cloud in which
company sign up with the hosting provider that
specializes in providing the dedicated services to
the customer but in this type of cloud they come
out with some of its own resource specially for the
customer.
In this the resources are not shared with the other
company hence it is more secure then their public
counterparts.
Private cloud will cost more then the public
because there is less opportunity to reduce the
providers overall costs.

Hosted Private Cloud (contd)
12-09-2014
Public Cloud
Any cloud infrastructure, platforms, or software hosted outside
the company and provided by another party is considered part
of the public cloud.
cloud systems are simply not ready to handle the next wave of
business-critical and mission-critical applications. Beyond
service level issues, other risks or potential issues related to
the public cloud include other risks or potential issues related
to the public cloud-:
Little maturity and guidance and therefore few business-critical
and mission critical references.
New administrative tools and operational processes might be
necessary to marry public cloud systems with the companys
existing applications and platforms.

12-09-2014
Public Cloud (contd)
Questionable or non-existent support for
international, national, or local regulations and
other matters of governance related to ITAR, FDA,
PCI, HIPAA, and so on.
Lack of legacy application support in most cases
(including the ability to natively support SAP
application servers in all but the simplest and
least beneficial cloud service models, for
example).

12-09-2014
Public Cloud (contd)
12-09-2014
Hybrid Cloud
we define a hybrid cloud service as any extended or tiered
platform comprised of interconnected public and private or on-
premises and cloud resources.
The ability to enable best-of-breed innovation, both from a
platform and application perspective (Hybrids enable you to
weave together best-in-class hosted customer relationship
management [CRM] systems with your own back-end
proprietary systems, for example.).
The potential to significantly reduce risk compared to a pure
public cloud scenario.
The ability to craft a custom cost model that better balances
capital expenses with operational expenses, enables partial
pay-as-you-go benefits, and so on.

Client Server Architecture
To minimize the risk, cost and effort for handling mission
critical application and business critical application.
SAPs Web Application Server: SAP didnt make the switch
between client/server and more contemporary computing
models in one great leap. Web-based computing platforms
helped propel the SAP application platforms evolution.
Service-Oriented Architectures: Service-oriented architecture
(SOA) is nothing more than an approach to designing a more
innovative computing platform that takes advantage of
reusable services to build powerful business processes.
This approach takes a bit more time up front but saves a huge
amount of time in the long run, particularly with regard to
ongoing maintenance when changes need to be made.

Client Server Architecture (contd)

Software as a service (SaaS)
This creates the perfect user centric experience.
Examples are CRM, HCM and procurement processes.
This Enterprise centric approach of On Premise
installations allows visualizing and executing unlimited
complexity and individuality. It helped and will help
enterprise organization to execute processes in best
manner and with highest efficiency for the corporate
organization.
Enterprise SaaS solutions are highly adopted if a first
class user experience is combined with backend to
ensure enterprise integrity of data and processes.
SaaS require more discipline in the standardization of
processes.

12-09-2014
Cloud Consumer Perspective
Cloud computing is often divided into three
broad service models or types based on
the different consumers of each model and
who provides or manages the assets. The
three models are Software as a Service
(SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

12-09-2014
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
PaaS is a set of tools and services designed
to make enhancing and deploying SaaS
applications quick and efficient. The approach
allows extending applications and creating a better
fit to specific and individual business
requirements.
PaaS allows quick creation and launch of
differentiating services. It also allows the Software
and Service Ecosystem to build niche partner
solutions and process large amounts of data
quickly.
PaaS is designed to cover the entire software
development life cycle, flexibly and on a large-scale.

SAP and Cloud
Pillar 1
Scalability- SAP has always been amazingly scalable
given its tiered architecture (where the data base,
application server, and Internet services may be broken
out into their own horizontally scalable service delivery
platforms).
Pillar2
Cloud service- SAP spoke of providing its own cloud
services, citing examples such as talent management
and sales force automation. This kind of approach
makes sense and helps extend or modernize what can
be characterized as a legacy backend SAP platform.

SAP and Cloud (contd)
Pillar 3
SAP Business ByDesign- The third pillar in SAPs cloud
strategy is its Business By Design solution. Unlike its more
limited competitors, SAP explains that BBD offers the only
truly broad-based, fully comprehensive ERP solution on
the market.
Pillar 4
Bridging the Old and New Worlds- The fourth and
arguably most transformational pillar of SAPs cloud
strategy is related trying together public cloud capabilities
like those available through Amazon web services with an
SAP application platforms native capabilities.

a single application server.
Reviewing SAP System Logs (SM21)
SAP maintains system logs that record important events
that occur in your SAP system.
Which system log and which tool to use to display the
events depends on whether the SAP NetWeaver
application server consists of the ABAP, Java, or ABAP +
Java stack.

Summary
Proactive SAP system administration and
management are key to maintaining a highly
available and well-performing system.
SAPs very own CCMS represents an ideal
starting point for such system administration
and management tasks. This hour provided
insight into only a few of the many tools and
techniques used by SAP IT professionals to
administrator and manage SAP.
