Enhancing SAP Efficiency with Cisco FSO

Lately, I had the chance to attend an in-person convention for the primary time for the reason that pandemic started at SAP Sapphire 2022. It was improbable to see a lot enthusiasm amongst our companions–and naturally, our prospects–particularly across the Cisco Full Stack Observability (FSO) portfolio.

On this weblog, I spotlight an FSO demo I watched that was constructed by ATOS, which confirmed the end-to-end observability of SAP ECC and S4/HANA working in Microsoft Azure. ATOS gives full-stack observability of those SAP techniques utilizing the Cisco FSO portfolio comprising AppDynamics, ThousandEyes, and Intersight Workload Optimizer (IWO).

Watch my interview with Andy Fleck, head of APM at ATOS, to be taught extra on SAP operational excellence with AppDynamics.

Demonstrating Cisco FSO utilized to SAP

On this demo, ATOS pumps transactions via each SAP techniques to simulate actual utilization, permitting prospects to see end-to-end enterprise course of efficiency. If any anomalies are noticed, they are often investigated by drilling all the way in which right down to the SAP traces of code. Prospects can even drill down into the non-SAP infrastructure elements of the general resolution, whether or not they’re positioned on-premises within the buyer’s information middle, off-premises (at a colocation facility, for instance), or with a cloud supplier.

As well as, the ATOS demo highlights ThousandEyes’ capacity to find out whether or not there’s latency within the community which may be negatively impacting software efficiency and person experiences. If a problem with the community is found, prospects can click on in to find out whether or not the issue is with the shopper’s personal community or with one other supplier’s community, comparable to an ISP or the cloud supplier.

The ATOS demo additionally exhibits how the end-to-end enterprise processes of SaaS functions with the SAP portfolio–comparable to Concur and SuccessFactors–together with non-SAP SaaS functions–comparable to ServiceNow and Oracle CRM–may also be monitored utilizing the Cisco FSO portfolio.

Let’s take a look at a few of the use instances for this sort of setup.

Pre-migration SAP evaluation

The primary use case makes use of the Cisco FSO portfolio to evaluate and perceive each the end-to-end software panorama supporting an current SAP set up and the information flowing throughout that panorama.

By analyzing, monitoring, and tracing SAP transactions, we will construct a real-time enterprise course of dashboard that exhibits not solely the general timing of the enterprise course of but additionally its volumetrics. By volumetrics, I imply info like:

• What number of orders and invoices is the shopper processing?
• What’s the worth of those orders and invoices?

The ATOS demo additionally showcases the power to ship alerts when any anomalies are found. For instance, if the shopper expects invoicing price US$50,000 {dollars} however solely $30,000 price is found, the software program can routinely increase that subject by submitting a ticket inside ServiceNow. Then the Cisco FSO stack can be utilized to pinpoint the place that downside is, right down to the community, infrastructure, and line of code.

Publish-migration SAP evaluation

As soon as the shopper has migrated their SAP panorama to the cloud, the FSO portfolio can be utilized to match the SAP panorama’s efficiency on the cloud to its pre-migration efficiency. This enables the shopper to acquire an correct before-and-after cloud migration image, empirically assessing the rise in efficiency (if any) achieved by migrating to the cloud.

Given the truth that each trade could also be totally different when it comes to what they wish to see round software efficiency, ATOS presents pre-built dashboards particularly for verticals comparable to manufacturing.
