Case Study: Major Retailer achieves high availability for SAP applications with SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux

Major Retailer Protects SAP Applications with SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux

Major Retailer, a company with 20,000 employees and 1,000 outlets across 26 states plus online operations in all 50 states and Canada, needed stronger high availability and disaster recovery for its SAP NetWeaver and SAP HANA-based CRM and customer-facing applications running on Linux in AWS. Its existing approach had limitations because Linux lacked robust built-in HA protections and AWS could not support SAP HANA System Replication across multiple availability zones or regions.

SIOS Technology implemented SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux to provide high availability clustering, continuous data replication, and disaster recovery for the retailer’s SAP environment. The solution was tested successfully in the lab and repeatedly in QA after configuration changes, with automatic failover occurring so seamlessly that the team initially did not notice it had happened. SIOS Technology gave Major Retailer confidence that its failover cluster would meet uptime, recovery point, and recovery time objectives when needed.
