How to implement Disaster Recovery Plan for SAP?

 In developing a business, disaster is not a matter of if anymore, but when. Therefore, before disaster strikes the organization, enterprise needs to mitigate the plan to prevent the risks of disaster. Implementing Disaster Recovery can be the solution to solve this problem. With its capability to recover business-critical systems and data, the organization can save its business continuity. That’s why some organizations see Disaster Recovery as a critical solution to their survival, including for SAP.

Disaster Recovery for SAP has always been a discussion since SAP is one of the most mission-critical applications for organization. IDC analyzed the cost to the company, should a critical application fail. They calculated the cost to be between $500.000 to $1 million per hour of downtime. But, no worries, as organizations are ready to effectively combat downtime in SAP with the recovery solution, the business can save cost and minimize the loss.

This article will be discussing how to implement a Disaster Recovery plan for SAP. Read them below here:

1. Planning The Basic Infrastructure 

The first thing to ensure an effective recovery plan for a SAP-based business is to maintain an ecosystem that has uninterrupted power supply. Plan for redundancies from multiple providers and power generators. With an adequate supply of diesel, enterprise can keep the business running for at least 48 hours.

However, redundancies also need to be planned for internet connectivity. A single connection is fraught with risks and at least two separate companies providing connectivity will mitigate the risk of connection downtimes. This also needs to be set up to automatically switch using adequate network hardware.

The next step is business needs to ensure that all the hardware has built-in redundancy. The last thing business would want to experience is to be left with data backups and nowhere to install them. This is very crucial to get you back on your feet without delay, in the event of a disaster. Regular audits to ensure that these systems are functioning as expected is the first and most important aspect of any recovery Plan.

2. Search for the RPO and RTO

RPO and RTO are the two key parameters that form the crux of Disaster Recovery planning for SAP. RTO stands for Recovery Time Objective and RPO stands for Recovery Point Objective. Practical, pre-defined, and pre-approved RPO and RTO are essential to chart your recovery plan.

With these two aspects, business would know how long it would take before they can switch to the SAP recovery site.

3. Disaster Recovery Plans and the Technologies used

Disaster Recovery plan for SAP begins by planning backups of the database that stores all the information managed by the SAP applications. the technologies used for this purpose can be traditional or advanced, such as Network Attached Storage (NAS), VMware SRM for SAP DR, cloud DR, HANA-specific Disaster Recovery, or Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).

4. Geographical Location of Disaster Recovery site or center

After choosing the method of recovery to be implemented for SAP, the next most important aspect is to choose the ideal center that provides a safe house for your data. The Disaster Recovery center should be in a different seismic zone. A rule of thumb is to have at least 60 km between two data centers. This helps mitigate the risk of seismic activity at these centers.

What To Prevent In Migrating To Cloud? 

/in , /by

migrating to cloudWhat To Prevent In Migrating To Cloud? 

In expanding business systems, enterprise often look for the best asset for integration. Technology such as Cloud Service Provider can be an option for business integration systems. Not only because it’s affordable, but it also can be allocated and changed in minutes. Even enterprises technology elites are spending dollars on the Public Cloud these days. Thus, it can be a good idea for a business long-term investment.

However, implementing cloud infrastructure can’t be defined as a solution to fix existing problems, such as data mess, application issues, inadequate security, or frequent outages due to a lack of operational disciplines and tools. Once business migrates these issues, it will end up with less-than-optimal systems in the cloud. Moreover, it can get worse if the IT department still be on the learning curve of using the Public Cloud. So, it will be increasing risk and cost without improving any of its systems.

Therefore, business needs to know what mistakes in migrating to the cloud. No worries, below here we have compiled three things that needed to avoid in cloud migration. Read them below here:

1. Migrating all business data to the cloud

In developing a business, having multiple sources is important for storing enterprise data. But if you don’t look at this side, then you just make a big mistake for business continuity.

Having a massive number of redundant databases and no one knows where all the data is, can be fatal for the business. Moreover, if the business decided to migrate all data – including the complex one – to the cloud, it will not improve everything except for causing a new problem. Therefore, consider and segmented what to store and integrated into the cloud is important to do. Thus, business investment in cloud infrastructure can be effective and beneficial.

2. Forget to secure the data

Migrating certain data to cloud infrastructure must include proper security practices from the organization. Even, a change is needed once the data move. But, if your organization does no comply with this practice, then you just caused a new problem for cloud migration.

As migrating encrypted data to the cloud, the organization certainly thinks if the assets are normally well-locked down. Little did they know, it is easy to inadvertently create vulnerabilities in the cloud since customers are responsible for setting many security controls around their apps and data. That’s why securing the data by encrypting them is important for the organization before it is being moved to the cloud.

3.  Assuming that all cloud environments are the same

(Source: Denis Isakov from Getty Images Pro)

Once business decided to migrate their system to cloud, they can’t assume that all cloud environments are the same. Every cloud provider designs their cloud differently, specializing in different functions and capabilities for their deployment.

That’s why in migrating to cloud, business should never blindly do it from one cloud to another before becoming familiar with its new environment. Otherwise, the migration process will be a problem while organization needs to struggle to reconfigure data to fit the new environment.

Aktif menggunakan layanan kolaboratif seperti Microsoft Teams memang bisa memudahkan sistem kerja perusahaan. Tapi, pernahkah terpikirkan oleh Anda untuk juga menerapkan sistem Backup pada Microsoft Teams?

Setelah satu tahun diterjang pandemi COVID-19, kini banyak perusahaan menerapkan sistem kerja dari mana saja atau hybrid working. Sejalan dengan penerapannya, berbagai online tools pun menjadi primadona yang dimanfaatkan oleh bisnis untuk bisa berkomunikasi dan bekerja secara kolaboratif. Salah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan layanan Microsoft Teams.

Bagi Anda yang menggunakan Microsoft Teams, Anda pasti berpikir jika layanan satu ini mampu memudahkan sistem kerja perusahaan. Apalagi jika bisnis menerapkan hybrid working, pastinya pertemuan tatap muka, penyimpanan data, dan proyek kerja bersama tetap terasa mudah dilakukan mengingat layanan ini menawarkan beragam fitur kolaboratif. 

Namun demikian, menggunakan Microsoft Teams tanpa strategi perlindungan data saja sangat berisiko bagi bisnis. Coba bayangkan, saat akses dan data Microsoft Teams bisnis Anda terserang hacker atau Human Error, kehilangan data tentu menjadi dampak utama yang bisa disebabkan oleh kedua ancaman tersebut. Oleh sebab itu, bisnis perlu memikirkan ulang terkait keamanan data di Microsoft Teams-nya.

Aktif melakukan Backup pada Microsoft Teams bisa menjadi salah satu pilihan untuk menghindari ancaman tadi. Dengan menyimpan salinan data ke cloud, Anda tidak perlu khawatir lagi akan kehilangan data atau akses ke layanan tersebut. Tak hanya itu, beberapa alasan juga turut mendasari pentingnya melakukan Backup pada Microsoft Teams. Salah empat di antaranya bisa Anda lihat di bawah ini:

1. Data Tidak Sengaja Terhapus

Alasan utama yang perlu Anda pertimbangkan terkait pentingnya Backup ialah pengguna bisa saja menghapus data, file, atau kontak penting di Microsoft Teams secara tidak sengaja. Atau dalam kasus lain, pengguna menimpa data penting dengan yang tidak terpakai di layanan tersebut. 

Akibatnya, kehilangan data bisa terjadi di Microsoft Teams bisnis Anda. Meskipun Anda berpikir Microsoft 365 menyediakan OneDrive Recycle Bin, namun fitur tersebut tetap tidak akan efektif untuk mengembalikan data penting yang telah lama terhapus atau tertimpa. 

Backup bisa menjadi solusi yang tepat untuk mengatasi masalah ini. Dengan menyalin layanan Microsoft 365 ke cloud, perusahaan bisa memulihkan kembali data yang hilang ke On-Premise, sehingga risiko kehilangan data dapat diminimalisir semaksimal mungkin. 

2. Kebutuhan Regulasi Perusahaan

Dalam organisasi atau perusahaan terkadang Anda dituntut untuk memiliki Backup pada seluruh data Anda. Begitu pula jika bisnis Anda menggunakan layanan Microsoft 365, Backup pastinya juga diperlukan sebagai kebutuhan regulasi perusahaan.

Maka dari itu, melakukan Backup pada Microsoft 365 penting dilakukan tidak hanya untuk menghindari ancaman kehilangan data, tetapi juga untuk mematuhi kebutuhan regulasi penyimpanan atau perlindungan data.

3. Ancaman Internal Bisnis

(Source: shironosov from Getty Images Pro)

Pernahkah Anda mendengar seorang karyawan sengaja menghapus semua datanya ketika akan keluar dari pekerjaannya? Atau melihat seorang karyawan menyabotase sistem IT perusahaan lantaran bersengketa dengan Manajemen? 

Dua kasus internal tersebut merupakan hal yang lumrah terjadi pada bisnis. Bahkan bila manajemen lengah, dua kasus tersebut bisa merugikan perusahaan. Oleh sebab itu, antisipasi dengan sistem keamanan data yang solid penting dilakukan oleh perusahaan. Sehingga ini akan menghindari terjadinya kehilangan data, terutama di Microsoft Teams. 

Backup bisa menjadi opsi untuk melindungi bisnis dari risiko kehilangan data. Sehingga ketika salah satu data penting di Microsoft Teams terhapus, bisnis bisa tetap mendapatkan salinan datanya kembali melalui sistem Backup.

4. Ancaman External Bisnis

Bencana alam hingga serangan siber, pastinya telah menjadi bayang-bayang bisnis ketika menjalani sistem hybrid working. Bagaimana tidak, dengan bekerja dari mana saja, ancaman bisa lebih mudah menghampiri. Apalagi bila bisnis Anda tidak memiliki sistem keamanan data yang optimal. Tentunya ini akan berisiko tidak hanya bagi satu atau dua pengguna, tetapi juga untuk seluruh operasional bisnis.

Maka dari itu, memiliki strategi perlindungan data seperti Backup bisa menjadi solusinya. Selain bertujuan untuk menyalin data Microsoft Teams bisnis Anda, Backup juga berfungsi untuk meminimalisir kerugian akibat hilangnya data atau sistem mengalami yang downtime.

Itulah beberapa alasan mengapa Anda perlu menerapkan strategi Backup pada Microsoft Teams. Bila Anda memiliki pertanyaan lebih lanjut terkait solusi Backup pada layanan Microsoft 365, Anda bisa menghubungi tim kami di sini atau ke sales@zettagrid.id.

Try This 4 Steps To The Effective Backup Strategy

effective backup strategyTry This 4 Steps To The Effective Backup Strategy

In managing a business, enterprises certainly think that data is the key to its success. Along with the record of data that is collected and increasing by the day, enterprise can optimize and grow their business in a better way. That’s why the availability of data must be kept and protected to prevent its loss.

Building a backup strategy can be one of the options that give enterprise peace of mind. By having the copy of data or its backup, enterprise don’t have to worry more if threats like human errors, overwritten data, and even ransomware strike business systems.

Additionally, backing up business data will also let the business get back up and running after its end-point protection software got breached. In this case, ransomware even required an effective backup strategy to defeat. Therefore, having a very current backup of everything located off-site with effective security can help to defeat ransomware easier.

This article has listed four steps to help enterprise build effective backup strategy. Read them below here:

1. Create Multiple Copies

When we talk about data backup, business needs to create multiple copies in multiple areas. In this case, enterprise can implement the 3-2-1 rule for backup to protect its data. But, what is the 3-2-1 rule?

The 3-2-1 rule was stated by US photographer Peter Krogh while writing a book about digital asset management. Here’s the recap:

  • Three: Three copies of business data should be maintained. One is the original or production copy, then the two are the backup copies. All copies contain the same data from the same point in time. This method aims to save at least one copy of data once the others fail or disappear.
  • Two: Two copies of business data exist on media that are separate from one another, even if those are in the same geographic location. For example, one copy on a server, and the other would be on an external hard disk.
  • One: One data copy exists in an offsite location. This could be in another office, data center, or in the cloud.

2. Implement Your Backup on Public Cloud

As the previous point before, physical storage is not enough to protect business data from threats. Therefore modern alternatives are needed by enterprises for optimizing the data protection strategy. One of them is by implementing backup on Public Cloud Service Provider.

Numerous Cloud Service Providers offer Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) for business. That way, a business can be able to protect its data by provision and run its backup from Public Cloud infrastructure. Furthermore, the BaaS is even simpler than other software, because there are no operating systems or hardware to configure by the business.

3. Engage Services that Focus on Data Safety

(Source: jirsak from Getty Images)

The cloud has become a fantastic aid to companies looking to quickly and easily implement a reliable backup strategy. Prices are low, standards are open, not proprietary, on-site hardware is also low or even nonexistent, and your data can be accessed or fully restored from practically anywhere. That’s why its services are beneficial for business. 

However, using a cloud service provider for the effective backup strategy also includes a Service Level Agreements (SLA), which details what security measures are being used and how it is enforced. That’s why business needs to identify what security features that provider can offer based on its SLA. 

Not only that but security certifications like ISO27001, ISO9001, and PCI DSS are also needed to be considered in looking for a provider. That way, business would know that the provider has a guarantee in securing its client’s data.

4. Automate Your Backups

Backing up data manually every time there’s a concern can be troublesome for business. Especially, when business doesn’t acknowledge how to set automatic constant data backup. It would be a problem not only for the business operation but also for its services when disaster occurred.

That’s why setting and scheduling automatic backups on a constant and recurring basis is needed. So, business don’t have to worry more if disaster occurs, because this backup strategy has been prepared to replicate business data regularly.

3 Tips to Successful Hybrid Cloud Management

In this modern era, data becomes one of the critical assets that can drive business. The velocity at which it is being generated and the volume of data collected by the business are increasing and accelerating by the day. Even, IDC’s research estimates that 463 exabytes of data will be generated every day by 2025. With this volume, can you imagine how big the challenge can be for storing a company’s data?

Traditional storage is not enough to store the growing volume of data since maintenance and hardware investment are often needed to optimize its capacity. That’s why a solution is needed by enterprise in managing the system and data flexibly in store. One of them is by implementing a successful Hybrid Cloud strategy.

However, planning and preparing for data management in the Hybrid Cloud only is not enough. Some key aspects also have to keep operating to achieve the maximum data management in Hybrid Cloud. In this article, we have compiled three things to successful Hybrid Cloud management. Curious to know how? Check them below here:

1. Identify How it Works

(Source: katemangostar from Freepik)

Once you know Hybrid Cloud can be a solution to your data management, you need to understand how it works. This not only includes finding good tools, but it also involves strategies.

The first step is to understand what you need to manage are:

  • Verifying the applications involved and what they do
  • Gaining visibility into the way users interact with the applications
  • Understanding the criticality of the workloads to the business
  • Identifying who owns the workloads
  • Confirming where workloads run 

2. Monitor the Hybrid Cloud Security Provider

(Source: rvlsoft from Getty Images)

In simplifying data management in Hybrid Cloud environment, business also needs to understand the requirements for security and governance. Hybrid Cloud security needs to be a focus from the start, and mechanisms like identity and access management (IAM) make it simpler by giving business ways to assign the identities to servers, people, devices, and data. Thus, it would be easy to manage the access. Not only that but the security also requires encryption for all information, both when it’s at rest and when it’s in use.

Additionally, Service Level Agreements (SLA) also need to be considered as part of the successful Hybrid Cloud management. SLAs are contracted promising specific levels of service to the end-user, with penalties if those levels aren’t met. Knowing those promises is an essential part of making sure the hybrid cloud manager meets expectations.

3. Determine Tools to Support Hybrid Cloud

(Source: Natali_Miz from Getty Images)

The additional key to effective data management is by choosing from the many hybrid cloud management tools. This can be concluded either as a solution or a consolidated hybrid cloud management platform.

The tools to support a successful Hybrid Cloud also cover many areas, such as performance management, resource management, security management, and network management. The capabilities to look for in these types of solutions can be:

  • Having a unified view of all the cloud environments, including what applications and services are running.
  • Providing alerts and actionable data to help streamline workloads.

Strategi Hybrid Cloud

Ingin Membangun Strategi Hybrid Cloud? Lakukan 5 Langkah Ini!

Perkembangan teknologi seperti pemanfaatan Cloud Computing memang tidak diragukan lagi pengaruhnya. Selain karena membuat operasional bisnis berjalan secara efisien, cloud nyatanya juga menghasilkan beragam inovasi baru bagi berbagai perusahaan. Tak heran karena kecanggihan dan agilitas yang diberikan ini, Gartner memprediksikan 75% perusahaan besar dan menengah  akan mengadopsi strategi cloud, termasuk strategi Hybrid Cloud sebagai salah satunya.

Di masa kini, strategi Hybrid Cloud bukan lagi menjadi opsi Cloud Computing terbaru untuk diimplementasikan oleh bisnis. IBM bahkan berpendapat bahwa Hybrid Cloud menjadi salah satu solusi yang menarik untuk diterapkan, mengingat kapasitasnya yang memungkinkan pengusaha untuk memanfaatkan penyedia layanan Public Cloud dan menggunakan Private Cloud untuk keperluan aplikasi dan datanya.

Tak hanya itu, pemanfaatannya pun juga dapat mengombinasikan proses pengolahan data dengan menggunakan Cloud Computing dan olah data secara langsung di data center perusahaan. Dengan demikian, perusahaan akan memiliki sistem pengolahan data yang mendekati real-time, bebas anggaran, dan skalabilitas yang tinggi.

Akan tetapi, membangun strategi Hybrid Cloud juga tidak bisa dilakukan secara sembarang. Beberapa hal juga perlu dipertimbangkan untuk mendapatkan keuntungan yang optimal. Di artikel kali ini, Zettagrid merangkum langkah-langkah yang perlu bisnis perhatikan untuk menciptakan strategi Hybrid Cloud. Ingin tahu seperti apa? Simak selengkapnya di bawah ini:

1. Teliti Opsi Penyedia Layanan dan Lakukan Uji Coba

Saat berencana mengimplementasikan strategi Hybrid Cloud, Anda pastinya akan memanfaatkan satu atau beberapa penyedia layanan Public Cloud. Untuk menentukan yang sesuai, ada baiknya bisnis tidak hanya menyelami atau memilih salah satu penyedia layanan Public Cloud.

Cobalah untuk menginvestasikan waktu dan sumber daya bisnis demi menemukan penyedia layanan Public Cloud yang sesuai. Dengan menilai secara keseluruhan terkait performa dan layanan yang ditawarkan masing-masing penyedia, ini akan mengerucutkan penyedia layanan yang sesuai untuk strategi Hybrid Cloud bisnis Anda.

2. Pilih Strategi Penskalaan

Ketika menerapkan strategi Hybrid Cloud, memperluas kemampuan IT bisnis dengan menyediakan lebih banyak sumber daya dari penyedia layanan Public Cloud, sudah pasti dilakukan oleh perusahaan. Maka, ketika Private Cloud juga perlu diskalakan untuk mencapai strategi Hybrid Cloud yang optimal, penskalaan yang tepat juga perlu dilakukan oleh perusahaan.

Anda bisa memutuskan strategi penskalaan yang sesuai dan mencakup faktor-faktor seperti anggaran, sensitivitas data, dan kontrol yang Anda perlukan atas aplikasi yang Anda skalakan. Sehingga, ini akan menentukan apakah Anda perlu menskalakan data atau aplikasi tertentu ke Public Cloud atau Private Cloud.

3. Tentukan Sistem yang Akan Digunakan di Hybrid Cloud

Pada umumnya, menggunakan Hybrid Cloud bertujuan untuk mengurangi beban pada sistem di infrastruktur lokal dan mengurangi biaya IT bisnis. Untuk mencapai hal tersebut, maka akan masuk akal bagi bisnis untuk merencanakan dan menyegmentasikan sistem dan aplikasi yang akan digunakan di layanan Public Cloud.

Sistem dan aplikasi yang akan digunakan di strategi Hybrid Cloud juga tidak bisa diimplementasikan secara sembarang. Anda perlu menentukan sistem yang sesuai untuk digunakan di Public Cloud. Misalnya, Anda menggunakan strategi Hybrid Cloud untuk kebutuhan pengembangan, Backup, atau Disaster Recovery.

4. Melakukan Implementasi Secara Bertahap

Perlu diketahui, mengimplementasikan sistem dan aplikasi ke Hybrid Cloud bukan berarti Anda dapat melakukannya sekaligus. Waktu dan berbagai tahap implementasi juga diperlukan oleh bisnis agar strategi Hybrid Cloud dapat berjalan sesuai keinginan. Lalu bagaimana caranya?

Pertama-tama, bisnis perlu mengidentifikasi proses, aplikasi, atau beban kerja apapun yang dapat diimplementasikan dengan mudah ke sistem Public Cloud. Beban kerja awal ini dapat bertindak sebagai percobaan implementasi, sehingga perusahaan berkesempatan untuk mengetahui lebih banyak tentang seluk-beluk implementasi sistem di cloud yang lebih kecil sebelum menangani yang lebih besar. 

Selain itu, Anda juga perlu memeriksa dampak aplikasi di setiap fase implementasi. Sehingga Anda dapat mengetahui aplikasi mana yang perlu diperbarui sebelum atau selama proses implementasi. 

5. Teliti Persyaratan Kepatuhan Penyedia Layanan

Penting bagi Anda untuk memiliki pemahaman penuh tentang persyaratan kepatuhan sebelum menggunakan layanan Public Cloud. Jika bisnis Anda berencana untuk menggunakan penyedia layanan cloud, Anda perlu memastikan apakah penyedia tersebut memiliki sertifikasi keamanan data dan informasi untuk melindungi data perusahaan.

Zettagrid Indonesia sebagai penyedia layanan cloud memiliki aturan kepatuhan seperti ISO27001, ISO9001, dan PCI DSS untuk melindungi data bisnis dan informasi perusahaan yang tersimpan. Dengan adanya aturan ini, maka kebocoran data dan informasi bisnis dapat diminimalisir oleh penyedia layanan cloud. Sehingga ini akan mengoptimalkan strategi Hybrid Cloud Anda dengan lebih aman.
