Data Protector
Build a comprehensive data protection strategy for your SAP HANA environment with OpenText
Data Protector.

Figure 1. The Benefits of using Data Protector with SAP HANAElevator Pitch
Providing uninterrupted access to mission-critical applications is a top priority for many IT organizations, requiring systems and processes toadapt rapidly to new technologies and businessmodels. Many organizations are having considerable success in this transformation throughthe use of SAP HANA. SAP HANA has evolved
from an in-memory computing platform thatallows users to perform real-time analytics toa generalpurpose data management platform.
One of the challenges when adopting SAP
HANA is reliably protect the data generated bythis mission-critical application. SAP HANA has
rigorous requirements of continuous availability
with close to 100% uptime and very low RTOs
and RPOs. Protecting and recovering SAP applications is becoming increasingly difficult
given growing application complexity, increasing data volumes, and rising business demands.
An SAP-certified OpenText™ Data Protector
is known as one of the best solutions for protecting SAP environments on the market today and can efficiently address the backup
requirements of SAP HANA applications. Itenables highly scalable, centrally managed
data protection with single and multinodecluster deployments. An integrated, high performance, scalable software solution offers
centralized management, media management,
reporting and analytics for performance tracking and resource utilization, enabling automation, higher uptime, cost efficiencies and mostimportantly—compliance.

The Opportunity
Market disrupter: Enterprises running SAP applications on Oracle or IBM DB2 databases andnon-Linux OSs must migrate to SAP HANAby 2025.

■ Restore the underlying operating systemand configuration■ Create additional database copies■ Meet audit, legal and compliance needs

Who Do We Sell To?
Current ITOM & SAP HANA customers who
don’t have Data Protector. Data Protector
will enable them to:■ Standardize across their environment withITOM products■ Leverage DP integrations with ITOM suchas BVD and OO
While SAP HANA native backup tools, i.e., HANA
Studio, automatically save data from memory
to disk at regular savepoints, these are tacticaltools without a long term view. An enterprisebackup solution is essential to augment themto address these data protection requirements:■ Protect against disk failures, logical damage,human error, app bugs
■ Create full backups and store themoff-site on a different medium forDisaster Recovery■ Reset the database to an earlier point

in time■ Deploy a single, comprehensive dataprotection solution across their full
hybrid IT environment
Current Data Protector & SAP HANA
customers who don’t currently use DP toback up SAP HANA apps. Data Protector
will enable them to:■ Leverage DP capabilities to protect
SAP HANA application data
■ Eliminate point products for backup andstandardize on a single, centrally
managed solution■ Enable operational efficiencies fromintegrations with cloud/storage

option like HPE StoreOnce, Dell EMC
Data Domain, AWS S3, Azure.

■ Achieve very low RTOs and close to zero

RPO in a cost-effective way

Customers with DP and SAP HANA toupgrade to DP10.10 so that they can:■ Take advantage of the newest capabilities
in the latest release such as built-inreporting■ Gain optimization through storage■ Single step upgrade from DP 8.x, 9.x or

Discovery Questions toGuide the Conversation

10.x to the latest release■ Leverage simplified licensing structure

and be part of CAP

Buyer Personas■ VP of Infrastructure—cares aboutbusiness value reporting on performance,availability, metrics■ SAP Architects—provide the integration

approach and bring various teams
together. How will it integrate into mycurrent infrastructure; how should it beoperated on a daily basis?
■ SAP Basis team—ensures that all SAP

components communicate with eachother without negative impact on end useror performance. Install updates, monitor forerrors and tweak SAP to be fast, reliable.

Opportunities■ A single backup & recovery solution

across legacy and virtual environments,
mission critical applications & databases;
can augment MF solutions for security,governance, ITOM, etc.
■ Implement DP as a core part of business

continuity strategy■ Implement a backup strategy toaugment SAP native backup tools,
meet recommended best practices■ Establish a continuous availability strategy

that will enable a close to 100% uptime
across SAP apps

2integration (i.e., HPE Store Once andStoreEver)■ Gain compliance through analytics■ Can you effectively track and manage yourSLAs with your current solution? Have you
experienced any downtime for SAP applications? Have you had any data loss?
■ What is your disaster recovery strategy

today? Is it built-in into yourcurrent backup solution?
■ Is your current backup solution SAP HANA-certified? Are you using any customized
scripts to support it?
■ How are you monitoring and reporting

today? Are you using analytics to gain
insight into the environment to manage
it better?

Solution Benefits

BackINT provides application consistent
backup and recovery of SAP HANA
databases. Multi-stream protection,
point in time recovery, system copies.
■ Tracking and management of log

files enables database recovery
to a specific point in time

Built-in Disaster Recovery■ Enhanced Automated OpenText™ Disaster

Recovery (EADR) provides a single checkbox for backup of application and systemdata required for the initial boot process■ Bare metal recovery from or to physicaland virtual systems from any backup set;bare metal recovery of the SAP HANAappliance itself■ B&R of the database as well as theunderlying appliance OSPredictive SLA Management■ Mission-critical SAP HANA environment

require tracking and real-time monitoringof SLAs. Monitors and tracks SLAs in
real time. Tracks backup success rates,

Objection Handling

Veeam

Question 1: We already have backup fromVeritas/Commvault/Veeam.
­■ Directly competes with HPE Storage

Answer: How is Veritas/Commvault/Veeam
meeting your requirements for both, the backup
and the appliance itself? What is the cost ofownership? (Probe for what is not working…)

Question 2: We are planning to buy HPE RMCSAP HANA, don’t need Data Protector.
Answer: Data Protector can complement HPE
RMC with its monitoring, reporting, and capabilities. Data Protector is also needed when
offloading backup data to tape.

Competitive ScenariosCommvault■ Has SAP HANA Backint integration■ Windows-only based server platform■ Complex installation process■ Software-only deduplication
